by from on (#78AJ9)
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua caught five passes for a game-high 74 yards against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Nacua was targeted nine times.
Why It Matters: While it wasn't a monster game from Nacua, he still led all players on Thursday with 74 yards, and he came within inches of adding a touchdown. Even with 10 players being targeted by Rams quarterbacks in Week 1, the ball went Nacua's way on nearly one-third of the 28 attempts. As long as he stays healthy, Nacua should finish 2026 among the top fantasy receivers out there. He's a weekly high-end WR1.
