Nacua received 65 snaps (81% of plays) and dominated target share with the Rams' pass offense built around him breaking tackles for big gains; however, the source notes he is seldom targeted deep and plays with a 'bull in a china shop' style that keeps him constantly banged up, creating injury risk that would be devastating to the pass game if he goes down.

Nacua played 65 snaps (81% of offensive plays) and remains the Rams' primary receiving target, but the source identifies a critical vulnerability: L.A.'s pass offense is built around Nacua breaking tackles for big gains rather than targeting him deep, and he is constantly playing banged up due to his 'bull in a china shop' play style. An injury to Nacua would be devastating to the pass game, and even good defensive teams can limit him, which would cause major problems to the offense overall. The Rams lack a viable WR2 to provide balance.
