The Los Angeles Rams had to lean on Puka Nacua in 2023 when Cooper Kupp started the season on PUP and now they’re doing it again with Jordan Whittington with both Nacua and Kupp on the sidelines. The sixth round pick out of Texas was targeted 10 times in Sunday’s loss to the Packers, gaining 89 yards on seven catches, and in the last two weeks he has 13 catches for 151 yards.
Hypothetically, if the Rams had to lean on Whittington for the entire season, the rookie could definitely be a 1,000-yard player just because of opportunities and the way he’s taken advantage of them so far.
