Puka Nacua is my biggest bust candidate, although this is entirely about price rather than talent. He is being drafted near the top of Round 1, where another dominant season is already assumed, but he is currently managing psoas soreness and has enough injury history that the downside cannot be ignored.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Nacua's psoas soreness and injury history make WR2 price unjustifiable despite elite talent.

Jay Henry Ocho identifies Nacua as the biggest bust candidate at ADP 5 (WR2), emphasizing this is entirely about price rather than talent. Nacua is currently managing psoas soreness with enough injury history that downside cannot be ignored, plus unresolved off-field uncertainty adds risk to an already expensive selection. The Rams' improved defense may reduce games where Matthew Stafford needs to force the offense through Nacua at last season's historic rate. Nacua can remain one of the NFL's best receivers and still be the player most likely to hurt fantasy teams relative to what they paid.
