Jordan Whittington Fantasy Stats

Cameron DaSilva of the Rams Wire writes that Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington is the leader of the WR3 competition early in training camp because of how experienced and versatile he is. Whittington is competing with Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield, and rookie CJ Daniels, with DaSilva also noting that Daniels has made some noise in practice and is drawing attention from fans and coaches. The No. 3 WR spot in head coach Sean McVay's offense will be an important one, but it also isn't expected to come with a lot of weekly volume as long as the top two receivers, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, are healthy. The 25-year-old Whittington took a slight step back in 2025 in his sophomore season, catching only 18 of 25 targets for 171 yards and zero touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. The former sixth-rounder in 2024 from the University of Texas has yet to find the end zone in 32 regular-season games (nine starts) and will remain off the fantasy radar in the majority of redraft leagues going into the start of the upcoming campaign.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington will be competing for the WR3 role in training camp this summer behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. Whittington was on the field more for the Rams in Year 2 in 2025, but his production dropped from his rookie campaign, as he caught just 18 of 25 targets for 171 yards and zero touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (six starts). The 25-year-old former sixth-rounder in 2024 out of the University of Texas had 22 catches for 293 yards and zero TDs in 15 games (three starts) as a rookie in 2024. Even if he wins the WR3 job this summer over the likes of Xavier Smith, Konata Mumpfield, CJ Daniels, and Tyler Scott, Whittington will be off the fantasy football radar in most single-year formats as long as both Nacua and Adams stay healthy.

Los Angeles Rams second-year wideout Jordan Whittington saw the third-most snaps of all wide receivers on the team in 2025, but that translated to only 171 yards on 18 receptions. Even with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams missing a combined four games, the third receiver spot in Los Angeles carries very little value in an offense that had three tight ends on the field for almost a third of their snaps. The Rams spent a 2026 pick on tight end Max Clare while bypassing the wide receiver position until the sixth round, suggesting a continuation of their heavy personnel usage, and little chance of fantasy relevance for Whittington outside of a catastrophic injury to either Nacua or Adams. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR142, the 2024 sixth-round pick is a deceptively difficult player to move on from given his proximity to the top of the depth chart in what again should be one of the league's highest scoring offenses, but accounting for his usage, both past and projected, Whittington is little more than a roster-clogger whose bench spot could likely be better utilized in all but the deepest of dynasty leagues.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington had an underwhelming 2025 season. Even when Davante Adams or Puka Nacua missed time due to injury, Whittington struggled to emerge as a weekly fantasy threat. Instead, he finished his second NFL season with 18 catches, 171 yards, and zero touchdowns. He had fewer catches and yards in his second season than in his first, despite playing more games. Additionally, through 32 career games, he has yet to catch a touchdown pass. We understand it's tough to cut bait on the No. 3 receiver in such a prominent offense like the Rams, but Whittington has struggled to produce, and the Rams have made an effort to bring in competition. Konata Mumpfield is trending up in this offense, and Los Angeles recently drafted CJ Daniels out of Miami. Managers in deeper leagues can stash Whittington if they have the space, but we also believe managers can justify dropping Whittington in the post-rookie draft roster crunch.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington was more productive on offense in his rookie campaign in 2024 in two fewer games than he was in 17 regular-season contests in 2025. The 25-year-old former sixth-round pick out of the University of Texas caught just 18 passes for 171 yards and no touchdowns on 25 targets in his sophomore season in an explosive Rams offense. On special teams, he returned 17 kickoffs for 434 yards. Even though Cooper Kupp left, the addition of Davante Adams in L.A. left very few targets for Whittington and Tutu Atwell. Whittington has a total of 40 catches on 53 targets for 464 yards and no touchdowns in his first 32 NFL games (nine starts), and nothing points to him having a drastically bigger role going into the 2026 season, barring significant injuries to either Adams or Puka Nacua. In dynasty leagues, Whittington is a cut candidate.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (chest) returned to Sunday's NFC Championship game during the fourth quarter. He had exited in the third quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being cleared to re-enter. Even though he climbed further up the depth chart with Tutu Atwell (coach's decision) inactive, Whittington had not been targeted prior to his departure. However, he did contribute on special teams with five kick returns for a total of 116 yards. On offense, he and Konata Mumpfield will occupy depth roles behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (chest) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's NFC Championship against the Seattle Seahawks. He is officially listed as questionable to return. He had not been targeted at the time of his departure, but he was third on the depth chart with Tutu Atwell (coach's decision) inactive for the second week in a row. Most of Los Angeles' passing game funnels through Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Colby Parkinson, so Whittington's exit doesn't have enormous implications for the Rams. Nevertheless, with Atwell inactive, Los Angeles could use all the wide receiver depth it can get. As long as Whittington remains on the sideline, Konata Mumpfield should operate as the No. 3 receiver behind Nacua and Adams.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington was the wideout most frequently on the field with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams in three-receiver sets in Sunday's Divisional Round win over the Bears. However, his two targets in the overtime win were only the seventh most on his own team, and he was largely a non-factor after missing the Divisional Round with a knee injury. With the Rams frequently favoring two or three tight end alignments, Whittington is not a player that needs to be rostered in fantasy playoff leagues. With four teams left in action, he is RotoBaller's WR14 for the Conference Championship Round.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) practiced in full all week and has been removed from the final injury report on Friday, per ESPN's Sarah Barshop. Whittington will be active for the NFC Divisional Round on Sunday against the Chicago Bears after missing the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers due to a knee injury he suffered in the Week 18 regular-season finale versus the Arizona Cardinals. The 25-year-old pass-catcher is well off the fantasy radar despite recovering from his knee injury. It's hard to trust any Rams receiver beyond Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, and all of L.A.'s wideouts will be more risky this weekend with a blizzard expected in Chicago on Sunday. Whittington only caught 18 of his 25 targets during the regular season for 171 yards, and he wasn't able to find the end zone at all.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington (knee) was not listed on this week's injury report and appears to be on track to return for the Divisional Round of the playoffs this Sunday against the hosting Chicago Bears, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Whittington suffered a knee injury in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals and didn't play in the Wild-Card win over the Carolina Panthers last Saturday. The 25-year-old has recovered nicely from his knee injury, but he won't be a recommended fantasy football play in postseason leagues with receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams soaking up most of the targets. Whittington had only 18 receptions the entire regular season on 25 targets for 171 yards and no touchdowns in 17 games. He's too far buried on L.A.'s WR depth chart.
