Throughout the summer, I've been lower than the market on WR Puka Nacua's Best Ball ranking. Yesterday he sustained a knee injury in a joint practice with the Chargers. The injury is said to be not serious and at this time Nacua is considered week to week.
Hopefully, it truly is not serious and he can be ready for Week 1. But there are no guarantees, and there are other receivers that I have ranked very close to Nacua. I moved both Drake London and Deebo Samuel ahead of Nacua in my recent rankings update on SportsLine.
I also have been very bullish on WR Cooper Kupp. I know he's 31 years old, and that turns a lot of people off, fearing the age cliff for fantasy football production. But we are just a year removed from back-to-back insanely statistical seasons from Kupp (2021 and 2022). In 2023 his stats were down drastically, but I believe he was playing injured most of the season. He also still had good red zone usage even in a depressed season.
So I've moved down Nacua slightly and moved up Kup slightly. I'm also slightly ahead of the market on the Rams' WR3 Demarcus Robinson. So here is where I currently have the Rams' receivers ranked for Best Ball drafts:
-Puka Nacua - 15 (ADP 11.2)
-Cooper Kupp 23 (ADP 25.5)
-Demarcus Robinson - 166 (ADP 170.4)
