LAR WR Puka Nacua - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Arizona Cardinals

It's still up in the air whether Cooper Kupp will play on Sunday. Either way, Puka Nacua should be in your lineup. As things stand, without Kupp, Nacua is sitting at WR6 in our rankings.

He got back on the good foot last weekend with a 70 yard, one touchdown day. The Cardinals have already let five different receivers top 20 PPR points this season and don't seem to have much of an answer for opposing top-end receivers.

LAR WR Puka Nacua - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Puka Nacua checks in as WR19 this week. He's pulled a bit of a disappearing act in the last two games, as well. Nacua earned seven targets in each of the last two games but only turned three of those into catches and hasn't broken 50 yards since October 22nd.

Seattle hasn't allowed a 20-point game from an opposing Wide Receiver since Adam Thielen picked them apart way back in Week 3. You're starting Nacua, but we'd like to see him right the ship before playoff season starts.

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.
