Red zone opportunity share limited by Devante Adams' goal-line dominance; Adams has the gravity to dominate red zone opportunities regardless of team; Nakua scored 11 touchdowns last season after combining for 10 in his first two years, but red zone consistency remains a concern; if red zone role shifts, Nakua's potential becomes unmatched.PositiveUsageJul 29, 2026

Puka Nakua is the primary manufactured-touch receiver for the Rams, receiving all of the screen passes and short-area targets that Devante Adams does not. When both were on the field together, Adams out-targeted Nakua 31-10 in the red zone and 28-4 in end zone targets, establishing Nakua as the complementary option in the red zone but the primary beneficiary of the Rams' manufactured-touch scheme.
