Jordan Whittington Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth WR for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished WR126 last season at 2.3 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's WR142 at 0.9 PPR points per game, against 2.3 over 16 games last season (WR126). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 110th of 142 in target volume (4.3% target share), 122nd of 142 in downfield role (3.2% air-yards share) and 125th of 142 in efficiency (0.77 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Matthew Stafford is his quarterback.
He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchups are the Bills in Week 5 (7th against WRs) and the Cardinals in Week 6 (4th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The 2025 tape underlines a player still fighting for snaps: 40.8% snap share across 15 games, a 36% route rate, and just 25 targets for a 4.3% target share. He turned that sliver into 18 catches, 171 yards and no scores, with a 0.77 yards-per-route mark and a 0.087 WOPR that scream tertiary option. His 0.103 EPA per play and 52% success rate were efficient enough, but the volume ceiling is the story, and his 2024 sample (2.42 YPRR, 0.59 EPA) shows the upside is real only if targets ever arrive.
That unlock is unlikely. Slotted third in line behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, he projects for roughly 15 grabs and 172 yards, leaving him near WR126 and off the draft board at a 301 ADP. He is a contingency play, not a roster asset, worth a flier only if injury thins the room ahead of him.
