• Rams' Puka Nacua: Career-best numbers in OT loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Nacua brought in 17 of 24 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for nine yards in the Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills on Monday night. Nacua's jaw-dropping stat line included new career highs in receptions and targets, as well as a team-high figure in receiving yards. The prolific receiver monopolized Matthew Stafford's attention even more than usual, although the one positive for the Bills' defense is it did a solid job keeping Nacua from doing much damage after the catch. The third-year pro also recorded his first receiving touchdown of the season on a picturesque two-yard over-the-shoulder catch early in the fourth quarter, and with his production Monday, he nearly made up for his two-game absence earlier in the campaign. Nacua will take a 31-337-1 line on 45 targets into a Week 6 divisional home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Nine catches, rushing TD in return

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Nacua (hip) caught nine of 12 targets for 125 yards and added a two-yard rushing touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Eagles. Nacua looked spry in his return from a two-game absence due to a hip injury that was also termed groin soreness. He had just one catch in the first half but scored a two-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter. The star wide receiver came alive as a pass catcher in the second half as the Rams stormed back from a 10-point deficit with two unanswered fourth-quarter touchdowns. Nacua's injury appears to be in the rearview mirror heading into a Week 5 home game against the Bills.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Active as expected Sunday

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Nacua is active for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Eagles. As expected, Nacua will make his return from a two-game absence due to what was originally labeled a hip issue and then further clarified as groin soreness. Earlier Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Nacua wasn't expected to operate under any type of limitations against Philadelphia. If that holds true, No. 2 receiver Davante Adams, who turned 23 targets into a 15-332-2 line during Nacua's absence, will be in line to see a notable hit to his overall opportunities against a typically stingy Eagles secondary.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: No limitations expected in return

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Nacua (hip) isn't expected to have limitations on his workload during Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Having said that, the Rams will keep an eye on Nacua's conditioning once he steps on the field, something that ultimately could impact his snap count, but they're operating under the assumption that he's good for his typical allotment, when healthy. He missed the last two games due to what was listed by the team as a hip issue but head coach Sean McVay termed "soreness in his groin" unrelated to the psoas discomfort that he tended to in training camp. In his only appearance this season in Week 1 versus the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia, Nacua handled 70 percent of the offensive snaps and reeled in five of nine targets for 74 yards.

• Rams' Puka Nacua: Set to play Sunday

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Head coach Sean McVay said Nacua (hip) won't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports. Nacua has missed the last two games due to a hip injury, but he's poised to return to action in Week 4 after taking part in all three practice sessions this week. McVay relayed to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com on Friday that while Nacua "looked sharp" Thursday, the Rams are still honing in on exactly what kind of workload the wide receiver will be able to handle. In any case, fantasy managers can exhale now that Nacua again is available to game-day lineups.
