Rams WR Puka Nacua injured a knee in the first half of Sunday night's game vs. the Lions and was ruled out at halftime. This appeared to be the same right knee that Nacua hurt on August 4, sidelining him for about three weeks. We'll look for further updates on his status going forward.

The Rams are thin at WR behind Nacua and Cooper Kupp. Nacua's absence leaves Demarcus Robinson as the No. 2 WR. Tutu Atwell, Jordan Whittington, and Tyler Johnson round out the depth chart.

Robinson will be worth an add as a potential WR3/4 if Nacua is going to miss more time. There was some buzz on Whittington this summer, but he'd be a target in deep leagues only. Kupp figures to dominate targets sans Nacua.
