Puka Nacua
WR - Los Angeles Rams
Availability
Puka Nacua caught 5 of 10 targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ 27-24 loss to Atlanta.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua was close to having a bigger day, but had a long touchdown called back due to penalty. He still scored on the same drive, just on a much shorter reception. There were other close calls as well, including one right in the final seconds where he nearly had a catch on the sideline, but was overturned after review. It wasn’t what fantasy managers were hoping for from Puka in championship week, but he came close to it.
Shouldering a heavier workload with Davante Adams sidelined, Puka Nacua delivered a massive performance during Thursday's overtime loss to Seattle, racking up a career-best 225 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The BYU product converted 12 of his 16 targets, marking his fifth game this season with double-digit receptions.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua consistently generated explosive plays, recording three catches of 40 yards or more. His highlights included a 54-yard gain on the team's third drive and a 41-yard touchdown in overtime that briefly broke a 30-30 tie. Regardless of whether Adams can return for the Week 17 Monday night matchup against Atlanta, Nacua naturally remains a locked-in elite option for fantasy managers.
Puka Nacua (cramps) is questionable to return for the Los Angeles Rams against the Detroit Lions Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua exited early in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s contest, hauling in nine of his team-leading 11 targets for 181 yards before suffering cramping.
Puka Nacua caught seven of his 11 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns in a 45-17 win over the Cardinals in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua hadn't scored in almost a month but he turned in a vintage performance in the lopsided win. He scored on catches of 28 and 31 yards in the game. Nacua has caught 93 passes for 1,186 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games this season. He will be a locked-in WR1 in fantasy in Week 15's potential shootout against the Lions.
Puka Nacua caught 6-of-9 targets for 72 yards in the Rams 31-28 loss against the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua led the way in targets and receptions for the Rams, including an insane one-handed catch on the sideline. He remains a locked and loaded WR1.
