Puka Nacua won’t practice Saturday, questionable for Monday

Sep 19, 2026

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters Saturday wide receiver Puka Nacua will not practice Saturday and is questionable for Monday’s game against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact:

Nacua did not practice during the media portion of Friday’s practice. He is listed with a hip injury and McVay added Nacua is dealing with soreness in his groin, which began after practice Thursday. Nacua is looking like a game-time decision for Monday. Jordan Whittingham is a potential replacement if you’re in a pinch and Davante Adams could see a very healthy amount of targets. Tight end Terrence Ferguson will also be in the mix.

The Steelers ruled out WR Michael Pittman Jr. for Sunday against the Patriots with a foot injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Pittman did not practice all week. He will look to return next week against the Bengals. For now, D.K. Metcalf and Roman Wilson will likely operate as the top two wide receivers with Pat Freiermuth working underneath following scoring a touchdown last week against the Falcons.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers not expected to play Sunday

DL Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), ILB Teddye Buchanan (knee) and CB T.J. Tampa (knee) are out for Sunday’s game against Saints. WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) also not expected to play. He’s doubtful.

Fantasy Impact:

Flowers should be removed from tentative lineups unless Baltimore unexpectedly clears him Sunday. Bateman becomes the likely No. 1 receiver, while Andrews could lead the team in targets. Walker, Wester, Moore and Sarratt should divide the remaining receiver reps, leaving them as speculative options rather than confident starts.

Raiders list Brock Bowers as doubtful for Week 2

yesterday · 6:32 PM EDT

Raiders are listing TE Brock Bowers as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers due to his knee injury, per HC Klint Kubiak.

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Bowers despite his limited return. Mayer is a viable replacement at a thin position and should again handle the majority of Las Vegas’ tight end work. Tucker, Nailor and Jeanty also have paths to additional targets.
