Whittington caught his lone target for eight yards in the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.
Whittington played 25 of 61 offensive snaps but saw his playing time elevated some late in the fourth quarter after the Rams pulled their starters. He also saw 13 snaps on special teams, returning four kicks for 94 yards. Whittington may need some injuries ahead of him to be a useful fantasy asset.
