Should I Start Puka Nacua?

Puka Nacua Remains an Elite Option Amid Teammate's Absence

Sunday, December 28, 10:31 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is coming off an elite performance against the Seattle Seahawks in which he caught 12 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns. He has a whopping 573 yards and four scores over his last three games. Nacua will look to maintain this momentum against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football in Week 17. Maybe he won't replicate last week's showing, but he should still put up otherworldly numbers. He'll continue to handle an abnormally high workload on Monday night with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined for the second consecutive week. The 24-year-old has been the highest-scoring receiver in fantasy football this year and should feast against a Falcons defense that has allowed the fourth-most receiving touchdowns and ninth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Nobody would be surprised if Nacua finishes this week as the overall WR1 in all leagues. That's where he ranks in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 17.
