Puka Nacua
WR - Los Angeles Rams
This Week Outlook
Availability
Rams WR Puka Nacua will not play in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, and Matthew Stafford will all sit out the regular season finale in Week 18.
Puka Nacua caught 10 of 14 targets for 129 yards in the Rams' 13-9 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Not counting throwaways, Nacua had a ridiculous 50% target share and had more than double the receiving yards of the rest of the Rams combined. To put numbers to that, Stafford had only 60 non-Puka passing yards in this game. He's far and away the alpha receiver of this team with Cooper Kupp falling off the last few weeks and will be approaching a top-6 fantasy draft pick next year.
Puka Nacua caught 8-of-9 targets for 56 yards in the Rams 19-9 win over the Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua was hampered by Matthew Stafford's 110 passing yard performance against the Jets. Fantasy managers should expect Nacua to bounce back in a home game against the Cardinals in Week 17.
Puka Nacua caught seven of his eight targets for 97 yards while adding 11 yards on two carries in a 12-6 win over the 49ers in Week 15's Thursday night game.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua easily led the Rams in receiving, accounting for 97 of Matthew Stafford's 160 passing yards in the low-scoring contest. Since getting over his early-season knee injury, Nacua has been a dominant fantasy asset. The Rams have also been using him in the run game as he has chipped in eight carries for 34 yards and a touchdown over his past three games. Nacua will be a high-end WR1 heading into Week 16 against the Jets.
Puka Nacua hauled in a team-high 12 receptions on his team-leading 14 targets for 162 yards and one touchdown while also rushing five times for 16 yards and one touchdown in the Rams' 44-42 Week 14 win over the Bills.
Fantasy Impact
Nacua continues to see heavy involvement in the Los Angeles offense, logging five or more receptions on eight or more targets in each of his last five games, finishing with 90 or more receiving yards in four of those contests. The dynamic wideout continues to provide fantasy managers with WR1 production in lineups in all formats, with a Week 15 divisional clash against the San Francisco 49ers up next.
