2024 Fantasy Outlook
A rookie sixth-round pick out of Texas, Whittington entered the college ranks with a long list of accolades, but a myriad of injuries sapped much of the potential lurking in the wings. The wideout played in only 39 games in four collegiate seasons, and his stats were middling (139-1,740-5), but the Rams are thin at wide receiver beyond Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Demarcus Robinson. As a result, a path to reps as a rookie isn't out of the realm of possibility. Whittington did suffer a hamstring injury just before the NFL Combine, so long-term health is the biggest roadblock to finding a role as a backup in Year 1. Read Past Outlooks

Prepping for key role
Whittington is preparing for a larger role with Puka Nacua (knee) on injured reserve and Cooper Kupp (ankle) likely out for multiple weeks, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Whittington barely played Week 1 and didn't get much playing time in the first half of Sunday's 41-10 loss at Arizona, but he then played every snap on offense in the second half, finishing with two catches for 22 yards on two targets. He seems to be ahead of Tutu Atwell in the pecking order and may thus join Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson as full-time players this Sunday against the 49ers. While expectations for the rookie sixth-round pick should be modest for now, he did get a lot of praise from teammates, coaches and beat reporters this summer, and he's a candidate to take some carries in addition to whatever targets he might get.
