Puka Nacua Week 17 Outlook - Cardinals at Rams

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Dec 26th 2024, 9:15am EST

Last week was the first game in 2024 in which Puka Nacua played a full game and failed to finish as a top-24 fantasy wide receiver in Half-PPR formats. However, he still hauled in eight passes, so it's hard not to give Nacua a pass. The game was also odd, as Los Angeles had just four offensive possessions through the first three quarters. Hopefully, the Rams can be less methodical and more explosive in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona is one of the worst defenses in the NFL when playing zone coverage. This should be a favorable matchup for the Rams' primary wide receivers. But Nacua has separated himself a bit from Cooper Kupp in recent weeks, making him the preferred WR1 option.
