KonataMumpfield

Los Angeles entered the season with the same group of wide receivers as last year, with Nacua and Adams firmly established as the top two

options. They were followed by Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith and Atwell, with all four backups running between 150 and 250 routes on the season. Whittington opened the season as the third receiver in Week 1, but he and Nacua subsequently missed time due to injury. Mumpfield moved into a starting role, while Smith took over as the third receiver in Weeks 2 and 3. Whittington returned to that role in Week 4, while Smith was released. Through four weeks, Mumpfield had played 145 snaps, compared to 88 for Whittington and 30 for Atwell. This week, Atwell got the start and played more than half of the snaps in 11 personnel. It's highly unlikely that any of these receivers will offer much value in redraft leagues, but whoever holds the third receiver spot should make some big plays this season, making that player a potential DFS option.

In Week 4, the Rams operated out of 11 personnel at an 88 percent clip....This season, Mumpfield has very clearly been the Rams’ third wide receiver in the pecking order. He’s played 49.5 percent of the team’s offensive snaps. Last week, it was Whittington with more snaps, but for the most part, it has been Mumpfield....There are things to like about Mumpfield, but he hasn’t been good enough at the catch point and remains incredibly inefficient. He’s averaged 1.17 yards per route run, ranking 61st out of 81 qualifying wide receivers.
