Puka Nacua Active In Week 9

Puka Nacua Active In Week 9

one year ago

As expected, Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) is active for the Week 9 game on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Nacua dealt with some swelling in his knee after the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and was limited in practices this week, but he will ultimately suit up in Green Bay. Nacua has been excellent in his first eight NFL games in 2023 and enters Week 9 as the WR4 in overall half-PPR fantasy points with 61 catches on 89 targets for 795 yards and two touchdowns. While he hasn't posted otherworldly numbers since Cooper Kupp returned, Nacua has still been fantasy relevant. However, his stock could take a pretty big hit this weekend with backup quarterback Brett Rypien making the start under center for the injured Matthew Stafford (thumb). Fantasy managers might want to temper expectations for Nacua against Green Bay.
