• Rams' Puka Nacua: Season-high 162 yards

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Nacua recorded 12 receptions on 14 targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-42 win over the Bills. He added five rushes for 16 yards and an additional score. Nacua accounted for 14 targets on 30 passes, and he showed strong rapport with Matthew Stafford throughout the high-scoring win. His longest reception of the day went for 21 yards, though he also had a pair of 19-yard grabs -- one of which went for a score to clinch the win and the other on an impressive leaping toe-tapping catch along the sideline. Nacua was also used as a runner and racked up a season-high five attempts, highlighted by a four-yard score. In seven games since returning from injured reserve, he's topped 100 receiving yards on four occasions.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Leading receiver Sunday

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Nacua brought in five of eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown while adding seven rushing yards off one attempt in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Saints. Nacua finished as the game's leading receiver despite posting modest totals, as neither side threw for more than 200 yards Sunday. The BYU product's touchdown grab late in the fourth quarter helped seal the win for Los Angeles while giving the wideout his second score in three games. Nacua will join Kyren Williams and Cooper Kupp as the Rams' top playmakers in next Sunday's home tilt against the Bills.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Leading receiver in SNF loss

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Nacua finished with nine receptions (on 13 targets) for 117 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to Philadelphia. Fresh off a season-best performance, Nacua was back at it again with another 100-plus yard showing. Unlike last week, the budding star was unable to hit pay dirt, and the Rams suffered a loss instead of a win. Nacua is averaging eight receptions and 111 receiving yards in the four games in which he has played 50 percent or more of his team's offensive snaps. More impressively, the BYU product has been posting these WR1-type numbers with fellow wideout Cooper Kupp in the lineup. Nacua is giving fantasy managers a strong push in the second half of the season after going down with a serious knee injury in Week 1.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Season high in receiving yardage

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Nacua secured seven of nine targets for 123 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-22 victory against the Patriots. The second-year wideout opened his monster performance with a 37-yard catch in the first quarter. Nacua made a diving grab for a 12-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and while he appeared to be a little shaken up, he returned and continued to be a target hog, eventually eclipsing his season-high 106 receiving yards from Week 8 against the Vikings. The Cooper Kupp/Nacua duo put up a combined 13-229-3 receiving line Sunday but will be tested against a stout Eagles defense in Week 12.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Suiting up in Week 9

  11/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Nacua (knee) is listed as active Sunday at Seattle, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports. In the wake of banging his right knee into the ground at Thursday's practice, Nacua didn't practice Friday and thus entered the weekend listed as questionable for Week 9 action. The Rams never seemed too worried about his availability, though, and his status now has been confirmed. Nacua will be facing a Seahawks defense that has conceded the ninth-most receiving touchdowns (eight) to opposing wideouts in eight contests this season.
