Puka Nacua Fantasy Overview

We got mixed reports on the plan for Rams WR Puka Nacua ahead of his Sunday return against Philadelphia. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Nacua would return without limitations. Fox's Erin Andrews reported at the start of the game that the Rams expected to play him for about 40 snaps. Schefter apparently got better info, because Nacua played 76 of 84 offensive snaps. He also ran a route on 90.7% of the team's dropbacks and drew 12 targets, tallying 9 catches for 125 yards. Nacua added a 2-yard rushing TD as well.

The Rams "do not intend to limit Puka Nacua's workload" vs. the Eagles today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nacua practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and was not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. There's still more risk here than usual in Nacua's first action since the opener, but he'd be impossible to leave out of Week 4 fantasy lineups.

Rams WR Puka Nacua (hip) practiced all week and will play vs. the Eagles on Sunday, HC Sean McVay said Friday. McVay added that Nacua “looked sharp” on Thursday but that the Rams are still figuring out how much he’ll be able to play against Philadelphia. We’ll look for more details on that front. Nacua carries more risk than usual coming off the injury, but he’d still be very tough to leave out of Week 4 fantasy lineups.

Rams HC Sean McVay told reporters Wednesday that he expects WR Puka Nacua to play vs. the Eagles this weekend. Nacua has been out since the opener with hip and/or groin trouble that has impacted his explosiveness. We'll track his practice participation throughout the week and look for reports on how close to 100% he'll be on Sunday. But an active Nacua would be nearly impossible to leave out of fantasy lineups.
