Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since returning to the Rams lineup last month, Puka Nacua has finished as a top-20 fantasy wideout in three of four games. His miss was notable because Nacua was ejected in that game early for throwing a punch. Nacua continues to produce whenever he is on the field. The Rams have a tough matchup in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles. But head coach Sean McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford are savvy enough to be able to get their wide receivers involved. I would not hesitate to start both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp this week.

As is the case with teammate Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp has produced in every full game he has played since returning from an early-season injury. Kupp peaked with last week's overall WR2 weekly performance and has 80 yards and/or a touchdown in five of six games this season. A matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles and rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell looks in Week 12 for Kupp and the Rams. Kupp and Nacua line up all over the formation, so it is difficult to assume one gets shut down. That means that even in a difficult draw, Kupp should continue to be an elite fantasy wide receiver in this game.

Robinson has come back down to earth over the last two weeks. Since Week 10, he has had a 9.6% target share, 0.71 YPRR, and a 10.4% first-read share. He has seen two end-zone targets, but he has only managed 21 receiving yards per game with zero touchdowns. Robinson is a must-sit this week against a Philly secondary that, since Week 6, has allowed the fewest receiving yards per game and fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.
