WR - Los Angeles Rams
Availability

Nacua has been out since Week 1 due to a knee injury, but the Rams activated him off of IR on Thursday and he was able to play against the Vikings. He looked great in his first game back, totaling over 100 yards en route to a win over one of the best defenses in the NFL. Now that he's fully healthy, fantasy managers should be viewing him as a top-tier PPR option at the wide receiver position for as long as he can stay on the field.
