Puka Nacua Expected To Play In Week 9

Puka Nacua Expected To Play In Week 9

one year ago

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) is expected to play versus the Green Bay Packers on Sunday despite being listed as questionable, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nacua has been the biggest surprise this season, catching 61 passes for 795 yards and two touchdowns en route to being the fantasy WR4 overall through eight weeks. However, he had one of his quietest games last week, catching just three passes, and could be due for another iffy game if he can't form an instant rapport with backup quarterback Brett Rypien, who is making his first start of the year in place of the injured Matthew Stafford (thumb). Nacua is talented, but there's no denying that he could suffer from the quarterback downgrade. Fantasy managers should view him as a low-end WR2 this week, albeit one with upside.
