From the episode

Pukunukua, unbelievable performance. Very odd game. 24 targets, guys? The most targets since we saw Brandon Marshall had 28 back in the early 2000s, it feels like... he was, before overtime, before overtime started, Pukunukua had set the record for fewest receiving yards with 15-plus catches all time for a non-running back.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Nacua's 24 targets and 138 yards mark elite usage; tied for best receiver with JSN.

Nacua had 24 targets in Monday's game, the most targets since Brandon Marshall had 28 in the early 2000s. He finished with 138 receiving yards and a touchdown (boosted by overtime), but notably set the record for fewest receiving yards with 15+ catches for a non-running back (Austin Eckler had 18 catches for 92 yards). Despite the low yardage-to-catch ratio, the source frames this as elite usage and notes he's 'right up there with JSN' as one of the two best receivers in fantasy. The Rams' game plan was clearly to get the ball in Nacua's hands as much as possible.
