Puka Nacua, WR (LAR)

Extends torrid stretch Thursday

Home  >  News

Nacua brought in 12 of 16 targets for 225 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.

Nacua was involved even more than usual due to Davante Adams' (knee/hamstring) inactive status, and the former delivered a standout performance that included a new career high in receiving yards. Nacua got there with three catches of 40-plus yards, including a 41-yard touchdown reception in overtime that momentarily snapped a 30-30 tie. The BYU product also kickstarted the Rams' third drive of the game with a 54-yard grab, and Thursday marked his fifth double-digit reception tally of the season. Adams should have a chance to return for a Week 17 Monday night matchup against the Falcons on Monday, Dec. 29, but Nacua naturally will remain an elite fantasy playoffs option in all formats irrespective of his teammate's availability.
