This is a fantastic spot for both Nacua and Adams against a depleted 49ers defense. Both can legitimately be considered fantasy WR1s.

Rams WR Puka Nacua was scheduled to have a scan for rib injury, McVay said.

The post added that McVay said he feels, “optimistic…in regard to where we’re potentially heading.” It sounds like the Rams think Nacua will be good to go for Week 10, which is an away game at San Francisco in the later Sunday window. But, it will be worth checking back in with the scan results, and also see what Nacua's practice status is like this week.

Rams WR Puka Nacua is officially off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. New Orleans.

Obivously a good sign for Nacua managers, as we should expect him to jump right back into his target-heavy role. Nacua and Adams should be both considered must-start options against the Saints this Sunday.

The Rams are going to get their top offensive weapon back this week as they return to action from their bye.

Via multiple reporters, head coach Sean McVay said in his Monday news conference that receiver Puka Nacua is set to practice on Wednesday and is expected to play on Sunday against the Saints in Week 9.

The story went on to say Nacua missed the club’s Week 7 victory over the Jaguars in London with an ankle injury. In six games this season, Nacua has caught 54 passes for 616 yards with two touchdowns. A league-leading 33 of his receptions have resulted in first downs.

Rams WR Puka Nacua and RT Rob Havenstein are OUT for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.

Everyone else is good to go.

This pushes Adams into fringe WR1 territory. Whittington and Atwell will be the most likely beneficiaries as secondary options, with the former offering a higher floor as a WR4 option.

Rapoport went on to speculate that it would make sense for Nacua to be out next week against the Jaguars, then the Rams a bye in Week 8, which would allow Nacua to regroup and further assess his injury. It's possible Nacua could be back for Week 10 if this is what the Rams opt to do. Nacua will be missed in fantasy lineups no matter how long he's out. Adams would be the clear WR1 but it could mean more looks for Atwell and Whittington. TE Higbee and the running backs could pick up the slack as well. In an update to this story, Nacua is considered day to day by the team, which does give him a chance to play in Week 7.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters after Sunday’s win that WR Puka Nacua has an ankle injury and he is uncertain if Nacua will be able to play next week in London against the Jaguars.

Nacua did return to the game but was mostly a decoy. He finished with just two catches for 28 yards in the 17-3 win. The Rams have their bye in Week 8, so it’s not out of the question for the Rams to sit Nacua next week and give him an extra week to recover.

Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters WR Davante Adams (hamstring) will be limited in practice and listed as questionable, but McVay feels good about Adams being able to go vs. the Colts.

It's hard to imagine Nacua's target share getting much higher if Adams missed, but he's a locked-in WR1 option as it is, so no change there. Adams should be fired up as a WR2 unless we hear of a setback.
