Yahoo Fantasy Football on Puka Nacua
From the article
Nacua isn't at 100% health to me based on his play speed right now, but it really does not matter — I can't stress that enough. Last week's dud should be fully ignored with news that Davante Adams (hamstring) is out for about 10 weeks. Nacua played three games without Adams last year, and he averaged 24.6 half PPR points on 19.6 expected half PPR points, both the highest since 2025. His 12.3 targets and 116 YPG are easily WR1 overall, too.
STACKED’s take
Nacua WR1 projection despite health concerns; Adams absence unlocks elite target share.
Nacua projects for 99.5 receiving yards and is ranked WR1 overall despite not being at 100% health. Last week's dud should be fully ignored given Davante Adams' 10-week hamstring absence; in three games without Adams last year, Nacua averaged 24.6 half PPR points on 19.6 expected half PPR points (both highest since 2025), with 12.3 targets and 116 YPG. The Rams' 16th-ranked passing explosive play rate (down from first last year) may mean more underneath targets to Nacua, which is acceptable for fantasy. Raiders rank 12th in half PPR points allowed to WR rooms but fifth against deep WRs where Nacua has 13 targets. Rams are 4.5-point road favorites with 26-point implied total (fifth).
