Rams' Jordan Whittington: Makes single grab in defeat
Jordan Whittington secured his only target for 19 yards and returned two kicks for 41 yards during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.The absence of Davante Adams (knee/hamstring) didn't lead to an expanded role for Whittington, as he took the field for just 15 snaps on offense. His one contribution to the game was impactful, however, as his lone catch came on third down and helped push the Los Angeles Rams in range for a chip shot Harrison Mevis field goal. Whittington's usage has remained steady in the past four weeks and shows no signs of moving towards fantasy relevance before the Rams take a trip to Atlanta for a Monday night showdown in Week 17.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Upgrades to estimated FP on Tuesday
Jordan Whittington (back) was deemed a full participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.Whittington was estimated as limited in Monday's walkthrough, but his back injury doesn't appear to be serious. Notably, starting wideout Davante Adams (knee/hamstring) has been deemed a non-participant in both walkthroughs this week, and he's very much in danger of missing Thursday's matchup against Seattle. If Adams does sit out that contest, Whittington -- along with Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell and Xavier Smith -- would be a candidate for increased offensive snaps.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Dealing with back issue
Jordan Whittington was deemed limited for Monday's practice walkthrough due to a back injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.Whittington logged a season-low four offensive snaps Sunday against Detroit, though it's unclear if that was a consequence of the back issue. He maintained his usual role as the Los Angeles Rams' lead kick returner, so Whittington's reduced offensive role may have simply been a result of Tutu Atwell returning from IR and Konata Mumpfield continuing to take on a larger role. Regardless, Whittington's practice participation level Tuesday and Wednesday should determine if he's at any risk of missing Thursday's big NFC West matchup against the Seahawks.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Records just four snaps on offense
Jordan Whittington failed to secure his only target and returned four kickoffs for 102 yards during Sunday's 41-34 win against the Lions.For the second time in three games, Whittington failed to make a catch, and his four snaps on offense mark a season low for the second-year pro. Konata Mumpfield's usage has increased significantly in recent weeks, leaving Whittington, Xavier Smith and a returning Tutu Atwell with just a handful of snaps to work with in recent games. Davante Adams (hamstring) is in danger of missing Thursday's divisional showdown in Seattle in Week 16, but a sudden surge in usage and targets from Matthew Stafford seems unlikely given his track record so far this season.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Makes one small grab
Jordan Whittington secured his only target for five yards during Sunday's 45-17 victory against the Cardinals.The trio of Los Angeles Rams' backup wideouts combined for just 16 yards on their three targets, which pales in comparison to the 17 targets that starters Puka Nacua and Davante Adams earned, which translated to 11 catches for 196 yards and a pair of Nacua touchdown catches. Matthew Stafford continues to keep his focus heavily weighted towards the duo, generally leaving little to no opportunities for the other wideouts on the team. Xavier Smith's 82-yard performance from last week now seems more like an outlier than a true breakout, leaving Whittington, Smith and Konata Mumpfield hard to trust for fantasy purposes against a Lions squad fighting for a playoff spot in Week 15.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Held without a catch
Jordan Whittington failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Panthers.Sunday's game against Carolina marked the third time in the last five games that Whittington was held without a catch, a concerning trend made more troubling by a three-catch, 82-yard performance by Xavier Smith. Whittington actually played the least of the Los Angeles Rams' backup wide receiver corps, with both Smith and Konata Mumpfield logging 20 snaps to Whittington's 18. Tutu Atwell (hamstring) is trending towards a return for the Week 14 contest against the Cardinals after logging three full practices last week as well, which would push Whittington further down the depth chart.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Ties season high for catches
Jordan Whittington secured all three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 34-7 victory against the Buccaneers.It was another monster game for Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, who combined for 19 targets and a 12-159-2 receiving line. This left little for the other two wideouts who took the field, as, along with Whittington's three targets, Konata Mumpfield mustered just two targets of his own. Whittington's usage crept up again for the second consecutive week, with the second-year pro out on the field for 34 snaps on offense. Tutu Atwell (hamstring) and Xavier Smith (concussion) could both return for the Week 13 contest against the Panthers, however, which would reduce Whittington's already limited role even further.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Little impact in win
Jordan Whittington secured his only target for nine yards and returned two kicks for 48 yards during Sunday's 21-19 victory against the Seahawks.The second-year pro saw the field often with Tutu Atwell (hamstring) still on IR and Xavier Smith (concussion) leaving the contest in the first half. The additional playing time didn't amount to anything significant on the stat sheet, although his lone catch was his first since Week 7. With the Buccaneers up next in Week 12, Whittington may be pressed into a bigger role if Smith is unable to clear the concussion protocol, as Atwell won't be available to return until the following week against the Panthers at the earliest. The offense still primarily runs through Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (16 targets out of 25 passing attempts), however, making it difficult to trust Whittington in fantasy lineups.

Rams' Jordan Whittington: Limited Wednesday
Jordan Whittington (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.Whittington played through the back issue last Sunday against the 49ers, but he played just seven offensive snaps and appears to have fallen behind both Xavier Smith and Konata Mumpfield on the depth chart behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams (oblique).
