From the article

Nacua doesn't look anywhere near 100% healthy, and it really has not mattered for his box scores for now. He's the WR1 on WR1 usage over his last four games since his 'pre hernia' absence. Only Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in his zip code right now. The loss of Davante Adams will be a net win for Nacua, especially in the red zone.

Nacua's WR1 usage and Adams departure create red-zone upside despite health concerns.

Nacua is the WR1 on WR1 usage over his last four games since his pre-hernia absence with 89.5 projected receiving yards in Week 8, only behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba in production. Despite not looking 100% healthy, his box scores have not suffered. The loss of Davante Adams will be a net win for Nacua, especially in the red zone. The Rams used three+ TEs on a season-high 35 snaps last week, and nine of 10 targets to Nacua were within 10 air yards. The Chargers sell out to stop deep passes and lack SCB Derwin James (IR), playing into Nacua's underneath strength. Chargers carry a 26.0-point team total (fifth).
