Jordan Whittington start or sit: Week 7 fantasy football advice

The 4-2 Los Angeles Rams head to London to take on the 4-2 Jaguars as 3-point favorites on Sunday. They will be without their stud wide receiver Puka Nacua, who will rest his injured ankle through their Week 8 bye and hopefully return in Week 9. Until then, his targets will likely move toward Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell.

Below, we’ll go over Jordan Whittington’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 7.

Adams will of course be the alpha when trying to replace Nacua, but Whittington has the skills to work underneath like Nacua and could be a strong target for Matthew Stafford. With Adams and Nacua healthy, Whittington hasn’t seen much work, but he got a big uptick in snaps after Nacua left last week. And, last year when Cooper Kupp was out for two games, he replaced him as a rookie and hit 6-62 and 7-89 lines.

The Jaguars have been picking off quarterbacks like crazy this season, but they are still weak overall in pass defense. They currently rank eighth-worst in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Whittington is set up well this week and I expect him to have a good floor and ceiling. He’s still not a smash play and should be thought of more as a WR4/Flex if possible.
