Tim Patrick News
Tuesday, July 28, 5:08 PM
New York Jets veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick (undisclosed) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, a source told Connor Hughes of SNY. It's unclear why the Jets placed Patrick on the PUP list to begin with last weekend, but the 32-year-old is ready to rejoin his teammates at training camp this week. The former undrafted free agent out of Utah will be WR depth in 2026 in his first year with Gang Green behind Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. Patrick has six years of NFL experience, but at this point in his career after suffering a torn ACL and a torn Achilles tendon in back-to-back seasons in 2022 and 2023, he's not much more than an experienced possession wideout. He caught a career-low 15 passes on 24 targets for 187 yards and three touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (three starts) last year in a crowded Jacksonville Jaguars WR room. Patrick could have a clearer path to a role in 2026 with the Jets, but it's still not enough to make him relevant in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

Jordan Whittington News
Friday, August 21, 11:10 AM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington has a role Sean McVay clearly values, but it still isn't much of a fantasy role. Whittington played all 17 games last season and started six, yet finished with only 18 catches for 171 yards on 25 targets and never found the end zone. He remains directly behind Puka Nacua on the Rams' unofficial depth chart and is also their top kick returner. McVay has called him steady and consistent, and Whittington was one of the receivers who stepped in when Nacua left the Aug. 11 joint practice. Nacua was still out Thursday with psoas soreness, so Whittington has gotten another look. The problem hasn't changed. Nacua and Davante Adams sit at the top of the passing game, and Los Angeles leaned heavily on three-tight-end personnel last season. RotoBaller has Whittington 347th overall and WR128 in its Aug. 19 PPR rankings. He's useful depth for the Rams, but standard redraft managers don't need to force him onto a roster.
