BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been battling a lingering knee injury through most of August but was recently deemed a full participant in practice, making him a top wide receiver heading into his season opener on Sunday evening.
As a rookie last season, the fifth-round selection totaled 1,486 yards on 105 catches with six touchdowns and finished as the overall WR4 in PPR scoring.
Down the stretch, from Weeks 13-17, Nacua was a league-winner as he scored the third-most PPR points at his position during this span.
Puka coming through again! He’s at 8 catches for 146 yards. 🔥

Seeing that the 23-year-old is past this minor knee injury, he should remain a lineup lock all season.
This week, his matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday evening carries the highest O/U spread of the weekend at 51 total points. Playing in a dome, and given how explosive both of these passing attacks are, Nacua has a strong path to finishing as the overall WR1 this weekend.
The last time Nacua faced the Lions in the Wild Card round, he caught nine passes for 181 yards and one touchdown.
