Jordan Whittington

Week 5 vs Green Bay Packers

After being closer to the WR4 the last few weeks, Jordan Whittington jumped up for a 97% route share and 30% target share in Week 4. While it's hard to tell who is going to be in and out of the wide receiver rotation with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp out, Whittington was one of the stars of preseason and last week made his case to be heavily featured while the top two receivers are out.

It's a bye week with many highly-drafted wide receivers out (and some injured) so I can see some appeal to starting Whittington. He's likely more of a back-end WR3/Flex option, but given the talent out this week, he makes a lot of sense in PPR formats.
