LAR WR Puka Nacua - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Green Bay Packers

Puka Nacua caught three balls for 43 yards last week and was targeted seven times in a lopsided loss to the Cowboys. The Rams struggled offensively, and quarterback Matthew Stafford suffered a UCL injury that is expected to keep him out for the foreseeable future.

This week, Nacua faces a Green Bay defense that ranks 13th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers, and he’ll also have to contend with Brett Rypien at quarterback. Nacua is still talented enough to warrant a start, but temper expectations for the rookie. We have him ranked as a quality WR2 option this week.

LAR WR Puka Nacua - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Dallas Cowboys

Puka Nacua has been a volume hog all year and Week 7 was no exception. He earned a dozen targets, converting them into eight receptions and 154 yards. It was his highest output of the past month.

Nacua is our WR11 this week. There's no chance that you have a loaded enough roster to bench him, so continue to plug him in and play regardless of matchup.

LAR WR Puka Nacua - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Arizona Cardinals

The looming question was "what will happen to Puka Nacua's workload when Cooper Kupp comes back?" That question was answered in Week 5. We still saw Nacua earn 11 targets, catching seven balls for 71 yards and adding a touchdown for good measure.

The Cardinals aren't scaring us off of starting him this week. He sits at WR11 in our half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start.

LAR WR Puka Nacua - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Assuming Cooper Kupp isn't back in the lineup this week, we have Puka Nacua at WR8. Nacua caught nine balls on 10 targets for 163 yards and a touchdown this past week.

Through four weeks, the Eagles have allowed five different receivers to cross the 15 PPR point threshold. The volume that Nacua sees could render any matchup moot, anyway though. When you're seeing an average of 13 targets per week, it's hard to not get there. Nacua is locked and loaded, regardless of Kupp's status.

LAR WR Puka Nacua - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Indianapolis Colts

Puka Nacua is one of the best stories of the early season. A guy with his draft capital rarely comes in and makes an impact at all, let alone immediately. Nacua is up to 30 catches on 42 targets for 338 yards. The only real blemish on his stat line is that he hasn't found the end zone yet. With this volume, though, the touchdowns will come.

The Colts have already allowed two wide receivers to reach 100 yards against them. Last week, they didn't, but the Ravens couldn't get anything going through the air. Nacua is an obvious must-start until further notice.

LAR WR Puka Nacua - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Puka Nacua is the belle of the ball through two weeks of the season. He went from basically being undrafted all off-season to a must-start player. It's difficult to project his role because we've never quite seen anything like this emergence, especially from a backup wide receiver filling in for a star like Cooper Kupp.

Nacua has 35 targets through two weeks. We have him ranked as WR13. He is going to lead some teams from tough starts that got him on waivers to a winning record if he can keep this up. Nacua is a must-start in Week 3.
