NegativeRoleSep 12, 2026
Whittington played 25 snaps (41% snap share) at wide receiver and saw some good blocks, but was not really an active part of the passing game; he did connect with Bennett later in the game for a catch over the middle but didn't add much in the kickoff return game due to lack of speed for lateral movement.NegativeRoleSep 11, 2026
Whittington is still pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things for the Rams; the source also notes he is returning kicks but is not dynamic, not special, and totally forgettable.PositiveRoleAug 27, 2026
Jordan Whittington is in a strong position for the WR3 role on the Rams, with the top two receiver spots set in stone.NegativeDepth ChartAug 25, 2026
Whittington appeared on 98.8% of fan-submitted 53-man rosters in the Turf Show Times consensus projection, indicating near-universal consensus for his roster spot.NegativeDepth ChartAug 24, 2026
Listed as 'In' on the Rams' depth chart reset, indicating he is locked into the roster as a wide receiver.NegativeDepth ChartAug 23, 2026
Projected as one of four wide receivers on the Rams' 53-man roster alongside Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Konata Mumpfield; rested in both preseason games as an established roster lock.NegativeRoleAug 23, 2026
Whittington is expected to compete for the WR3 role in the Rams offense in a revolving-door arrangement with Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith; CJ Daniels' strong preseason performance has also entered him into the competition for snap share.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
Second-year receiver competing for the Rams' WR3 spot. Posted 18 catches for 171 yards and no touchdowns in his second season, a step back from the 293 receiving yards he put up as a rookie in 2024. Competing against Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, and sixth-round rookie CJ Daniels for the third receiver role; none of the group has separated itself statistically.PositiveRoleAug 16, 2026
Jordan Whittington is one of the biggest winners in the Rams preseason opener despite not suiting up, having graduated from preseason reps and earned McVay's respect. He is firmly in the Rams' top-4 wide receiver depth chart at the 3-4 slot behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. However, the source notes that Whittington had 18 catches for 171 yards in 2025 and didn't really get better in that span, suggesting that Konata Mumpfield may have a higher ceiling and more room to grow. Whittington's established role is secure, but his production trajectory is less promising than Mumpfield's.NegativeProjectionAug 14, 2026
Whittington is one of three odds-on contenders for WR#3 role, but the source expects him to get the afternoon off in the preseason opener.NegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026
WR3 candidate competing for receiver opportunities behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams on the Rams' current depth chart; the source notes the third receiver role is extremely important and finding consistency from that position could force defenses to respect the entire width of the field.NegativeDepth ChartAug 4, 2026
Whittington is expected to make the 53-man roster as one of five wide receivers; the Rams are committed to 13 personnel which limits the number of receivers kept.NegativeDepth ChartAug 2, 2026
Jordan Whittington is 90 to 98 percent likely to make the Rams roster, placing him among the near-locks behind only Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. This leaves at least one open spot—potentially two or three—for competing receivers below him.NegativeDepth ChartJul 30, 2026
Jordan Whittington received 7% of fan votes as a surprise cut candidate and 30% as a player with the most to lose in camp, indicating mixed expectations about his roster status and role development.NegativeDepth ChartJul 30, 2026
7% of Rams fans surveyed selected Whittington as a surprise cut candidate at wide receiver; 30% also believe he has the most to lose overall, indicating significant concern about his roster security and role with the team.PositiveDepth ChartJul 29, 2026
Favored over Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith in WR#3 battle; source views him as most versatile, moveable piece with most balanced tools among in-house prospects. Also fits as willing blocker, adding positional flexibility.PositiveRoleJul 29, 2026
After knocking on the door for two seasons, Whittington is positioned to lock down the WR#3 role; he's played in 32 games with nine starts, accumulating 721 offensive reps and 338 special teams snaps; best suited to a supporting role, he does dirty work with toughness and full effort, plays to his size with sneaky athleticism, works mostly underneath as an outside check-down target and on screens, reads defensive leverage well, has good hands and plus body control on off-target balls, shows run-after-catch ability as the Rams' primary kick returner, and is a rugged blocker who can line up anywhere.PositiveRoleJul 25, 2026
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.NegativeDepth ChartJul 23, 2026
Whittington appeared on 97.1% of fan-submitted 53-man rosters, indicating strong consensus that he will make the roster as a wide receiver.NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
Competing for Rams WR3 role against C.J. Daniels, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith. Had third-most snaps among LA receivers last season but fewer than third tight end Davis Allen, illustrating that the WR3 role may not receive significant snap volume if McVay continues running 12 and 13 personnel concepts as he did in 2025. The WR3 winner will likely be the player who best complements the two starters in backup capacity rather than the guy who starts in 11 personnel.
