Puka Nacua Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Fri, Aug 22nd 2025, 3:07pm EDT

Puka got hurt in Week 1, forcing him to miss the next five games. But once he returned, he was a force. The Rams WR1 finished fourth in fantasy points per game.
In Weeks 8-18, he out scored all WRs not-named Ja'Marr Chase. He was 9th in red zone targets and led the NFL in target share at 31% (10-plus targets per game) through the postseason. His full 36% target rate per route run was the highest in the NFL among qualified WRs. The second-year WR led the NFL yards per route at 3.23. Only four other players have accomplished this feat of more than 3 yards per route run since 2017 - Tyreek Hill, Cooper Kupp, Julio Jones and Nico Collins. And even if Matthew Stafford misses time due to his chronic back injury, have faith that Sean McVay can keep Nacua producing at a high level with Jimmy G under center.
