Who Should I Start? Puka Nacua or Kaleb Johnson

Saturday, November 15, 11:51 AM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua should continue to be deployed as a WR1 in all fantasy football leagues ahead of his Week 11 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Outside of a brief injury blip a handful of weeks ago, Nacua has been a high-end WR1 every week, producing 66 catches for 775 receiving yards and four touchdowns so far. He ranks as the #4 wide receiver in total fantasy points this year, and he's tied with Rashee Rice for #1 in fantasy points per game. This week's matchup against Seattle is noticeably tough, as the Seahawks have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Nevertheless, Nacua is one of those players who you put in your lineup and forget he's there. He should be started as a high-end WR1 every week, and Week 11 is no exception.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson was going as a late-round flier with upside in fantasy drafts this fall, but he was quickly sent to the waiver wire. The 22-year-old third-rounder out of Iowa has been a distant third on Pittsburgh's RB depth chart behind Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell this year, and he didn't help himself with a costly special-teams blunder early in the season. So far through his first five NFL games, Johnson has handled only 15 rushing attempts for 40 yards (2.7 yards per carry) while catching one of his two targets for nine yards. He played five offensive snaps in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts, which was actually an improvement after not playing at all the previous two games. It will take an injury to Warren or Gainwell for Johnson to get more involved, which means he's only stash-worthy in fantasy football in dynasty/keeper leagues.
