Puka Nacua Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Mon, Jun 8th 2026, 4:28pm EDT

Last year, Puka Nacua took Ja'Marr Chase's throne as the WR1 in fantasy points per game, and he could repeat as the top dog this year among wide receivers. Last year, Nacua was third in raw target volume, first in receptions, second in receiving yards, 23rd in deep targets, and 12th in red zone targets (tied). Nacua was fourth in target share (28.8%), first in receiving yards per game (107.2), first in yards per route run (3.85), and fourth in first-read share (37.5%, per Fantasy Points Data). If all of that wasn't enough, he was also sixth-best in separation and route win rate. Nacua is a volume-gobbling stud who could easily repeat as the WR1 overall if Matthew Stafford keeps dealing at an MVP (or near) level in 2026.
