Jordan Whittington, wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury, missing Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite a promising start to the season with 18 receptions for 201 yards, his absence has forced the Rams to adjust their offensive strategy.

Once he returns, Whittington may struggle to reclaim a significant role in the receiving corps, as he will compete for targets with established players like Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Consequently, he is likely to be viewed as a bench option in fantasy leagues.
