Fantasy Football Player Notes

Nacua missed five early-season games in 2024 with a sprained PCL but was excellent when healthy, averaging 7.2 catches and 90.0 yards per game for the season. The Rams let Cooper Kupp walk in the offseason but added Davante Adams, who's still highly productive even in his early 30s. But Adams' arrival is no reason to fade Puka, who's firmly established himself as one of the better receivers in the game.

Adams is now 32, and he might not be able to completely smash for the Rams this year while sharing targets with Puka Nacua. But Adams proved last year that he hasn't lost anything. From the time Davante Adams joined the Jets in Week 7 through the end of the 2024 regular season, Adams was WR9 in half-point-PPR fantasy points per game despite sharing targets with Garrett Wilson. Another top-12 fantasy season for Adams isn't out of the question.

Tutu Atwell continues to be one of Sean McVay's favorite projects - and you have to respect the commitment. Despite weighing just 155 pounds, Atwell has carved out a unique role in the Rams' offense, thanks to McVay's creative play-calling. In 2024, Atwell ranked 19th among wide receivers in yards per route run (2.24), stepping up early in the season when both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp missed time. From Weeks 2-7, he averaged a respectable 7.6 fantasy points per game (WR55), showing he can be serviceable in deeper formats. Looking ahead to 2025, offseason reports indicate Atwell is expected to see increased playing time in three-wide receiver sets alongside Nacua and Davante Adams.
