Puka Nacua Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department charged Samson Nacua, the brother of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua, with taking a vehicle belonging to L.A. Lakers forward Adou Thiero without the latter's consent, according to NBC4 in Los Angeles. Police allege that Samson Nacua and another man took Thiero's SUV, which police tracked to a hotel in West Hollywood, where surveillance footage showed the duo had valeted the vehicle and entered the premises. Authorities arrested both men, who remain jailed and face charges relating to the theft. According to the station, police are unsure where the SUV was originally stolen.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has already been the team's most-targeted weapon, and he could take on an even larger role during Thursday's Week 16 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. With Davante Adams (hamstring) listed as doubtful to play on Thursday, Nacua could command some of his vacated targets. The 24-year-old has been phenomenal lately, catching 16 passes for 348 yards and two touchdowns over his last two games despite playing roughly half of the offensive snaps during that span. He also ranks as the overall WR2 in PPR leagues this year, even though he missed one full game (and parts of other games) due to injury. Nacua is typically viewed as more of a reception and yardage threat, but he's quietly on pace to set a new career-high in touchdowns this year. Given that Adams has been on the receiving end of more than one-third of Matthew Stafford's touchdown passes, we wouldn't be surprised to see Nacua earn more looks around the goal line and build on his own touchdown total this week. Admittedly, it won't come easy; the Seahawks have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. However, Nacua has repeatedly proven that he should be started regardless of matchup. In his last game against the Seahawks, he caught seven passes for 75 yards. He ranks as the overall WR1 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (cramping) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The star wideout exited the game in the fourth quarter due to a cramping injury. However, he was able to quickly return, suggesting this injury was not overly serious. Managers should keep an eye on his status during the week leading up to their Week 16 contest on Thursday evening in case he faces a setback. Nacua has enjoyed a stellar showing during this game, catching nine of his 11 targets for 181 yards, which is on track to be a season-high.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest due to cramping. The superstar wideout suffered this injury in the fourth quarter. While he may be in danger of missing the final minutes of this contest, it appears he has avoided a significant injury. Before exiting, Nacua enjoyed another massive showing, bringing in nine of his 11 targets for 181 yards. With Davante Adams (hamstring) also exiting the contest early, managers should expect Tutu Atwell and Joran Whittington to serve as the top options in the passing attack for the remainder of Sunday's game. Given that he appears to have avoided a serious injury, Nacua should be on track to suit up on Thursday when the Rams face the Seahawks.

The Los Angeles Rams plan to prioritize a long-term extension for superstar wide receiver Puka Nacua, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. The Rams will reportedly try to make Nacua one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL during the upcoming offseason. The BYU product is in the middle of his third season and has been dominant every year, establishing himself as one of the best young receivers in football. As a non-first-round pick, Nacua is only under team control for four years after being drafted, which means his contract is currently set to expire after the 2026 campaign. An extension would give the Rams long-term stability at the wide receiver position with Davante Adams, 32, more of a short-term option. Fantasy managers would appreciate the consistency, too, as Nacua was the WR4 in PPR leagues as a rookie and is the overall WR2 so far this year.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has been excellent this season, and he should continue to play at a high level in a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in Week 15. He has been able to co-exist alongside Davante Adams (hamstring), as both players rank within the top six wide receivers in fantasy scoring this year. Nacua himself is the overall WR2 in scoring, trailing only Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The 24-year-old could shrink the gap between him and Smith-Njigba this week, given that Nacua has an extremely enticing matchup against the Lions. Detroit's defense has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards, second-most touchdowns, and second-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Nacua ranks as the overall WR3 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 15.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught seven of his 11 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Nacua looked terrific in this divisional battle, scoring touchdowns of 28 and 31 yards. This was his first multi-touchdown game of the year, and he finished just three yards shy of his season-high in receiving yards. The 24-year-old is a top-three fantasy receiver in 2025 despite dealing with an injury near the middle of the season. He's known for being a high-yardage, high-volume receiver, but he's a major touchdown threat, so Sunday's explosive game was a welcome surprise. He should continue to be deployed as a high-end WR1 in all leagues ahead of Week 15 against the Detroit Lions, which will be a revenge game opportunity for Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to play at a superstar level. Last week against the Carolina Panthers, he caught six of nine targets for 72 yards and made a jaw-dropping one-handed catch near the sideline. He now has 1,092 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns this year, ranking as the overall WR4 in PPR leagues. The 24-year-old has shown that he can co-exist with Davante Adams. Nacua has been the catch and yardage machine in this offense, while Adams is the touchdown threat. Both players are top fantasy receivers for Week 14, with RotoBaller's expert rankings listing Nacua as the WR6 and Adams as the WR7. The Rams are taking on an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, but Nacua has proven that he is matchup-proof and should be deployed as a high-end WR1 regardless of his opponent.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to rank as a top fantasy option ahead of Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Nacua has back-to-back seven-catch games, racking up 97 yards last weekend. He has gone without a touchdown in two consecutive contests but still ranks as the overall WR12 in PPR leagues during that span. For the full season, he has been the overall WR5. Nacua continues to reward fantasy managers with his high target share, route-running skills, and role in a high-powered passing offense led by MVP candidate quarterback Matthew Stafford. As long as Nacua and Stafford remain healthy, the former will be a must-start receiver in fantasy football. That remains the case in Week 13, despite Carolina allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. This week, Nacua ranks as the overall WR5 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to be a must-start fantasy option for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has put together another phenomenal season; he ranks as the overall WR3 in fantasy scoring this season, and he would be in the running for the top spot if he hadn't missed time due to injury earlier this year. Despite playing fewer than two-thirds of the offensive snaps in each of his last three games, Nacua has totaled 19 catches, 234 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns during that span. This week, he gets a relatively favorable matchup against the Bucs, who have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points, 11th-most receptions, and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing receivers in 2025. Nacua ranks as the overall WR2 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, which puts him in the list's top tier.
