BALLER MOVE: Start in 8+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua has had a strong start to his NFL career, with four games of 100-plus yards so far in his NFL career.
Last week against the Seahawks, Nacua was targeted seven times, marking the third game in a row he had exactly seven targets. Those seven targets are tied for his fewest in any game this year, a sign of just how high his floor is because of volume.
In the win over the Seahawks, Nacua caught five passes for 70 yards and a touchdown, his first trip to the end zone since Oct. 8, when he scored against the Eagles.
This week, the Rams face Arizona, a team that held Nacua to a season-low 26 yards when the teams faced earlier in the season. That alone might feel like a bad sign for Nacua's outlook this week, but Cooper Kupp had a dominant showing in that one, which took away some opportunities from Nacua.
Heading into Week 12, fantasy managers should consider Puka Nacua to be a low-end WR1 play because of his recent production and his overall volume all season.
