From the article

Jordan Whittington, meanwhile, is already in place and a perfectly suitable option as the No. 3 wide receiver, given what the Rams need out of that spot. He's a strong blocker and that's vital to the success of this offense, and it's not like he's an unplayable pass catcher, given his 62% career success rate (according to Pro-Football-Reference's system) and the 41% of his targets that become first downs or touchdowns

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Whittington's blocking and 62% success rate make him ideal No. 3 receiver fit for Rams.

Jordan Whittington is already in place as a perfectly suitable No. 3 wide receiver for the Rams given their offensive needs. He is a strong blocker, which is vital to the Rams' offensive success, and is a capable pass catcher with a 62% career success rate and 41% of his targets resulting in first downs or touchdowns (all first downs in his case). This rate is just shy of Stefon Diggs' career rate and above Deebo Samuel's, making him a natural fit for the position group despite not being a superstar.
