From the video
Puka Nacua in cash games on DraftKings.com, I think this was a brilliant move in tournaments... He ended up getting 11 targets for another 35% targets per route run with a nearly point eight wapper... Puka with no Davante and Kyren in the dog house is legitimately like one of the best plays
STACKED’s take
Brilliant play with 11 targets, 35% TPRR; best on slate with Adams out.
Puka Nacua was a brilliant DFS play with 11 targets for 35% targets per route run and nearly 0.8 wapper. With no Davante Adams and Kyren Williams in the doghouse, Puka eliminated end zone risk he normally carries, making him 'legitimately like one of the best plays' on the slate. Mattek was 100% getting Puka if paying down at both running back value positions, with ceiling potential around 35 fantasy points. Puka was played as a contrarian pick with the explicit strategy of fading projections; Nate's rationale was 'Forget the projections. I want to play Puka Nacua. Nobody else is going to play Puka. Puka's going to smash and I'm going to win the whole slate in cash.' At $7,500 in a 350K tournament, Puka's touchdown expectation increased significantly with Davante off the field, causing his projection to spike. Mattek swapped into Puka in a DFS lineup, replacing Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Puka was featured in the winning mid-season millionaire lineup. Playing Puka over CMC or Bijan Robinson was criticized as 'crazy' and inferior.
