Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua will line up against the Miami Dolphins in Week 10 on Monday Night Football. Between a knee injury that won't go away and some suspect behavior (throwing a punch at a Seahawks defender in Week 9 only to get ejected), the second-year wideout has had a tough time formulating any consistency this season. The good news is he did not appear on the Rams' injury report this week, so maybe he's past the ailment that's robbed him of five contests and part of another. The bad news is that Miami's secondary is no joke, as they've afforded their opponents the fourth-fewest passing yards per game in the league (183.1). Still, the 23-year-old will occupy his usual role as a top-two option in LA's passing attack and should be started by fantasy managers despite the less-than-ideal matchup. The BYU alum ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR8 for this weekend's slate.--Alex Ciulla

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was heavily involved in the Rams' 28-22 loss to the Eagles. He was targeted a team-high 14 times and finished with six catches for 97 yards, including an acrobatic, sliding catch in the snow that will be part of his highlight reel for seasons to come. That catch kept the Rams potential game-winning drive alive, but they came up short in the red zone with under one minute left. Nacua established himself as one of the best fantasy receivers in the game after returning from his early season knee injury. He clearly became the go-to option in the Rams passing game and will be one of the top fantasy receivers going into next season.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is the clear focus of the Rams' passing game and was targeted nine times on Monday Night Football when his Rams knocked off the Vikings 27-9. He has at least eight targets in each of his last nine games, and the only games this season in which he was targeted less was when he left early due to injury or ejection. Last week, he only had five catches for 44 yards, which was his lowest total for any full game this season. However, his high volume and big-play ability keep him a strong fantasy option against Philadelphia in the Divisional Round. He had nine catches on 13 targets for 117 yards against the Eagles in the regular season, and he'll likely have a good opportunity to post similar totals this week as long as the weather isn't too much of a factor. However, even if conditions are difficult, head coach Sean McVay will be able to find ways to get the ball into his hands since he's one of the team's top playmakers.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught five of his nine targets for 44 yards during Monday's Wild Card win over the Minnesota Vikings. He also added a seven-yard rush. Nacua did lead the team in targets and tied for the most receptions, but his production was somewhat modest relative to some of his recent games. For context, he hadn't finished with fewer than 50 receiving yards in a single game since Week 9. Amidst his slightly less explosive showing on Monday night, Nacua still managed to show that he is Matthew Stafford's preferred option in the passing game. Not only did he fetch a team-most nine targets, but he was also far more involved than Cooper Kupp, who once again struggled to the tune of one catch for 29 yards through the air. Moving forward, Nacua is the top fantasy option in Los Angeles and an intriguing play ahead of next week's battle with the Philadelphia Eagles.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been outstanding this season and has managed to put up consistent numbers despite the offense bogging down the past few weeks. He'll likely be busy again on Monday Night Football as the Rams open their playoffs with a home game against the Vikings. The Vikings allowed the most fantasy points per game in the NFL this season to wide receivers, who scored 18 touchdowns and averaged over 180 receiving yards per week. Nacua will look to attack that matchup after racking up 990 receiving yards on 79 catches in just 11 games. He had at least seven catches in seven of his last eight games while averaging 104.8 yards per contest. Earlier in the season, he lit up the Vikings for seven catches on 106 yards and two touchdowns in Week 8. Nacua is a great play with both a high floor and a high ceiling in this matchup since he should have plenty of volume and space to work against Minnesota.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller
