Matt Kelley projects Puka Nakua as a step above every other wide receiver based on probable target share and historic efficiency, despite consensus ranking him as WR2 or WR3 rather than WR1. Kelley attributes the consensus discount to off-field risk from a biting incident, but believes this is overblown and will be forgotten once the season starts. He projects Nakua at 19.3 PPG, slightly higher than Jamar Chase at 19 PPG, with an edge in yards per reception despite Chase having more targets.
