Positive signalProjection

Nacua's preseason performance earned immediate WR2 role; 15 targets in NFL debut.

Puka Nacua's 2023 preseason debut against the Chargers (3 catches, 32 yards, 1 TD) signaled his immediate role as the Rams' WR2 when Cooper Kupp was healthy and WR1 when he wasn't. McVay benched Nacua for the rest of the preseason after that game, a clear statement of confidence. In his NFL debut, Nacua was targeted 15 times, establishing him as a true diamond in the rough rather than typical offseason hype.
