Puka Nacua Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Wednesday, October 23, 4:22 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings, according to Adam Grosbard of the O.C. Register. Nacua has been sidelined since leaving the season opener early with a PCL sprain and has a chance to return to the field as early as this week. Nacua was able to log two limited practice sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, which is a positive sign for his status. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor him ahead of Thursday's game. If the 23-year-old is able to suit up, he should be locked into all lineups while facing a Minnesota secondary that has allowed the most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season. If he is unable to play, Cooper Kupp (ankle) should be expected to see a heavy dose of targets with Tutu Atwell and Demarcus Robinson operating as the No. 2 and No. 3 options.

Brian Thomas Jr. Delivers Big Plays In Week 7 Victory

Monday, October 21, 12:20 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. caught all five of his targets for 89 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 win over the New England Patriots in London. He also added two rushing yards on two attempts. The rookie was the Jaguars' most productive pass-catcher as they recorded their second win in the last three weeks. Not only did he find the end zone, but he also delivered a 58-yard reception to put the Jaguars on the edge of the red zone late in the first half. Thomas should continue to be treated as a solid WR2 option in fantasy football, including next week when the Jaguars return stateside to face the Green Bay Packers.
