Puka Nacua Injury Update for Fantasy Football
As per the latest reports, Puka Nacua has avoided a serious injury. He is likely to play in Week 14 against the Ravens, but there is an expectation that he might miss some practice sessions during the week.
The Rams are 6-6 after their win over the Browns and could make the playoffs. Nacua's availability will be a huge plus for them, as it has allowed quarterback Matthew Stafford to not solely rely on Cooper Kupp.
The duo of Kupp and Nacua, along with running back Kyren Williams, have worked wonders for the 2022 Super Bowl champions. Hopefully, they'll be able to stay healthy for the rest of the campaign.
Puka Nacua Fantasy Football Outlook
In 12 games this season, the Rams' star wide receiver has 77 receptions for 1,029 yards and has scored four touchdowns. He is averaging 13.4 yards per reception and 85.8 yards per game this season.
On a team where Kupp was expected to be the leading contributor, Nacua has stepped up and emerged as a star in this league. After Week 13, he has recorded a total of 169.9 points in half-PPR scoring leagues while averaging 14.2 points per game.
The game against the Ravens is not an ideal matchup for the Rams receiver, as the AFC North team is giving up an average of just 15.6 points and 171.7 passing yards per game to their opponents.
