Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Puka Nacua

Saturday, October 11, 8:05 AM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is off to a slow start to his 2025 season. Jeudy has caught just 15 of 35 targets for 197 scoreless yards in five games thus far. While the volume has been there for Jeudy, he has struggled with efficiency while catching passes from both Joe Flacco and Dillon Gabriel. Jeudy will look to turn things around against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 6. The Steelers have struggled to slow opposing passing attacks this year, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts through four games. While the matchup is enticing, Jeudy's lack of production this year leaves him as a desperation flex option this weekend in fantasy.

Updating previous reports on Monday, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that the team thinks wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) avoided a "long-term injury" in Sunday's Week 6 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. When deciding on when Nacua can return, McVay mentioned that the receiver's "style of play, the way and the nature at which he plays, that is something that does weigh into this." A report earlier on Monday suggested that Nacua was expected to miss some time, but McVay himself is calling him day-to-day and isn't ruling him out for Week 7 in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams have their bye in Week 8, so the most likely scenario is that L.A. will hold Nacua out in Week 7 and hope to have him back for a Week 9 contest against the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 2. Fantasy managers should prepare for Nacua to miss at least one game. If Nacua doesn't play in London, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) would be the next men up behind Davante Adams in the Rams' passing game.
