STACKED’s take

Positive signalInjury

Nacua is expected to play in Week 4 and should be started despite injury concerns.

Puka Nacua is expected to play in Week 4 against the Eagles per Sean McVay. Despite conflicting reports regarding a potential sports hernia or surgery, he is a must-start for fantasy managers. While he may be on a pitch count, his high-upside profile makes him impossible to bench, similar to how other players have returned from injury to produce immediately.
