Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was a fantasy WR1 until he suffered a knee injury, which landed him on injured reserve for at least four weeks.
Nacua had been a promising playmaker for the Rams' offense before the injury, and his absence leaves a significant gap in the receiving corps. Fantasy managers are wondering when the star wideout will return.
When will Puka Nacua return to action, and what is his fantasy football outlook when he does? Let's dive in.

Puka Nacua Injury Update
Puka Nacua Fantasy Football Outlook
Fantasy managers who have stashed Nacua will need to remain patient. If he returns at full strength, he could provide a valuable boost later in the season.
Until then, the Rams will rely on other receivers to step up in his absence. Watch injury updates as Week 9 approaches to better understand his progress and potential availability.
When Nacua does return, fantasy managers should be able to start him confidently, as he has been consistent for quarterback Matthew Stafford. Nacua caught all four of his targets for 35 yards in Week 1 before exiting the game with the knee injury.
