Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has established himself as one of the most elite fantasy receivers in the NFL, and he is a must-start in all formats as he faces the 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Last week against the Bills, he caught 12 of 14 targets for 162 receiving yards and a touchdown while also getting a second touchdown as a rusher and totaling 16 rushing yards on five carries. His five rushes were all plays where he went in motion and then caught a lateral, and it was clear that coach Sean McVay was committed to getting the ball in his playmaker's hands. Nacua has four touchdowns in his last four games and has averaged 12.5 targets and carries in his six complete games this season. The 49ers are a tough matchup for receivers, but Nacua's high volume and touchdown ability keep him an elite play.

Rams' WR Puka Nacua scored an impressive 41.80 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 14 win against the Bills. Nacua caught 12 passes for 162 yards with two touchdowns. It's the 2nd time this season Nacua scored at least 25 fantasy points in a game.

Dynasty | Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua had 12 catches (on 14 targets) for 162 receiving yards and a touchdown in a win against Buffalo. Dynasty Analysis: He also added a rushing score. Clearly the WR1 in Los Angeles over Cooper Kupp, Nacua is starting to look like the rookie phenom we all fell in love with last season. While the Rams aren't as explosive as they have in the past, Nacua is looking like a top ten dynasty receiver at this point and any chance to have bought low for his services have long since passed.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua had a monster game against the Bills solid defense on Sunday afternoon, racking up 162 receiving yards and a touchdown on 12 catches while adding a second touchdown on the ground with five carries for 16 rushing yards. He had the best fantasy day of any wide receiver in PPR scoring. Nacua has been excellent all season when healthy and is up to 708 receiving yards with four total touchdowns in just eight games. He has at least 98 receiving yards in four of his last five games and at least nine catches in three of those contests. He missed the Rams' first matchup with the 49ers this year but will go up against his division foe this week on Thursday Night Football. Nacua will remain a locked-in WR1 given his large role and consistent production.

Los Angeles Rams' WR Puka Nacua had 12 receptions for 162 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's win against the Bills.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been excellent when healthy this season, and his Rams are in need of a key victory this week as they host the Bills. Nacua has a very high floor and has been a top 20 WR in every week he played a full game. Last week, he caught five of his team-high eight targets for 56 yards and the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. He has at least eight targets in each of his five games since returning from injury, except for the game in which he was ejected against the Seahawks. He has averaged 7.4 catches for 100.0 yards per game in those five contests. He has become the top red-zone target for Matthew Stafford as well. His matchup against the Bills is a tough one since they have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers, but his volume should still keep him a strong start in almost all formats. He is RotoBaller's WR6 this week.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught five of his eight targets for 56 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 13 win over the New Orleans Saints. Few receivers have been performing as well as Nacua, who is the overall WR2 in fantasy football since Week 10. He has been able to thrive even when the Rams' passing attack has taken a step backward; this Sunday, he delivered an impressive fantasy performance despite Cooper Kupp having his worst game of the year and Matthew Stafford delivering his second-lowest passing yards total. Nacua continues to rank as a high-end WR1 and should be started in all leagues ahead of Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been on a roll. Although the 23-year-old only has one touchdown this season, he's combined for 25 catches for 338 yards in his previous three appearances. Without question, Matthew Stafford should continue to look in his direction in the Week 13 showdown against New Orleans, and his outlook is more promising than normal versus a Saints defense that has allowed 1,959 yards to opposing receivers this season, the fifth-worst total in the National Football League.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is presented with an exploitable matchup this Sunday when he lines up against the New Orleans Saints. The second-year wideout has been on fire since returning from an IR stint in Week 8. Over that stretch, Nacua is the overall WR7 in PPR formats, recording four games of at least seven receptions and 98 or more receiving yards. He'll get an excellent opportunity to continue his hot streak in Week 13 in a Saints defense that ranks second to last in yards allowed per game (390.8). The Saints let up 256.6 of those yards through the air, the third-most per contest in the NFL. With the 23-year-old playing at a high level and a blow-up spot ahead of him, the BYU product ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR5 ahead of this Sunday's slate.

From RotoBaller

Rams' WR Puka Nacua had 9 receptions for 117 yards but no touchdowns in Sunday's loss against the Eagles. It was Nacua's 2nd consecutive 100+ yard receiving game. He has averaged 8 catches with 120 receiving yards in those games.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught nine of his 13 targets for 117 yards during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Nacua led the team in all three of those stats, serving as Matthew Stafford's favorite target once again. He has 25 catches, 338 yards, and one touchdown over his last three games, ranking as the overall WR3 in PPR leagues during that span. He should be deployed as a top-five fantasy receiver heading into a Week 13 battle with the New Orleans Saints.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua had a team-high seven catches for 123 yards in the win over the Pats in Week 11. He also scored a touchdown, his first of the 2024-25 campaign. Without question, the 23-year-old is one of the best wideouts in the National Football League. Fortunately, he appears to be back to full-strength after missing time this season because of a knee injury. With 16 catches in the Rams' previous two contests, there's no reason to keep Nacua out of any fantasy lineup, even with a difficult Eagles defense up ahead.

From RotoBaller

Rams' WR Puka Nacua scored 25.30 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 11 win in New England. Nacua caught seven passes for 123 yards with one touchdown. It's the 1st time this season Nacua scored at least 25 fantasy points in a game.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua looked great in Sunday's victory over the New England Patriots. The wideout finished Week 11 by leading his team on the receiving end, pulling in seven of his nine targets for 123 yards. He also finally found the end zone, catching a 12-yard toss from Matthew Stafford in the second quarter. With Nacua coming off his second 100-yard outing this season, he'll look to keep it going against a tough Eagles defense in a Sunday Night Football meeting between the clubs.

From RotoBaller

Rams' WR Puka Nacua had 7 receptions for 123 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's win in New England.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua will look to maintain his steady volume and production during Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New England Patriots. Nacua has been impressive so far this season, averaging eight catches and 102 yards in the two games for which he's been healthy. He remains off the injury report against the Patriots and figures to have a full workload. The Patriots' defense is allowing the 11th-most receptions and touchdown catches to opposing wide receivers, but the 15th-fewest fantasy points to the position. Even with a merely modest matchup on tap, Nacua has shown that he can handle all challenges and should be treated as a low-end WR1 on Sunday.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua converted 14 targets into nine catches for 98 yards during Monday's Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old has played in four games this season, and while he's still searching for his first touchdown of 2024, he did set a season-high target total on Monday night. Nacua and Kupp form an impressive one-two punch in Los Angeles, and both are fringe top-12 fantasy receivers heading into a favorable matchup against the New England Patriots next weekend.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua will line up against the Miami Dolphins in Week 10 on Monday Night Football. Between a knee injury that won't go away and some suspect behavior (throwing a punch at a Seahawks defender in Week 9 only to get ejected), the second-year wideout has had a tough time formulating any consistency this season. The good news is he did not appear on the Rams' injury report this week, so maybe he's past the ailment that's robbed him of five contests and part of another. The bad news is that Miami's secondary is no joke, as they've afforded their opponents the fourth-fewest passing yards per game in the league (183.1). Still, the 23-year-old will occupy his usual role as a top-two option in LA's passing attack and should be started by fantasy managers despite the less-than-ideal matchup. The BYU alum ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR8 for this weekend's slate.

Dynasty | Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was ejected from Sunday's win against Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: Nacua posted one catch for 11 yards before being tossed after throwing a punch at a defender. It was a disaster for dynasty managers, but certainly not something that's going to linger. Nacua could be fined for the incident, but it's hard to see him being suspended over this. In the end, Nacua should return to his WR1/2 spot when the Rams take the field again.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was ejected from Sunday's meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. The wideout wasn't a lock to play after re-aggravating his knee injury. While he was on the field, he didn't last long before getting disqualified for punching Seahawks cornerback Coby Bryant near the end of the second quarter. Nacua will finish this one with only one catch (four targets) for 11 yards, leaving room for Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, Demarcus Robinson, and Tutu Atwell to get more involved on the receiving end for the rest of the contest.
