When Will Jordan Whittington Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 10 (2024)

Jordan Whittington (shoulder) was inactive for the Los Angeles Rams in their Week 9 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite entering the weekend with a questionable designation, indicating a possibility of playing, Whittington was unable to take the field.

This decision comes after he struggled with a shoulder injury that limited his practice participation leading up to the game. As a result, the Rams were without his contributions in what was expected to be a competitive contest.

Whittington's absence may have affected the team’s offensive strategy, as they had to rely on other receivers to step up in his place. Fantasy managers will have to continue to monitor his practice status throughout the week.

Once Jordan Whittington returns from his shoulder injury, he should be viewed primarily as a bench piece rather than a reliable starter in fantasy lineups.

While Whittington started the season strong, showcasing his potential as a valuable contributor, the landscape of the Rams' receiving corps will shift significantly with both Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua back on the field.

The presence of these two top-tier wide receivers will likely limit Whittington's opportunities for targets and receptions, making it difficult for him to maintain a consistent role in the offense.

With Kupp and Nacua commanding the majority of passing looks, Whittington's contributions may be sporadic, relegating him to a depth option rather than a must-start player in fantasy leagues.
