Who Should I Start? Puka Nacua or Ladd McConkey

Saturday, November 8, 2:55 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to be a spectacular fantasy option heading into Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old has 61 catches for 711 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns this year, ranking as the overall WR4 in PPR leagues -- and he would be in the running for WR1 if he hadn't missed a game and a half in October. Nacua should continue to be deployed in all fantasy leagues, and managers shouldn't give the decision a second thought. In his last outing against the Niners, the star receiver caught 10 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, San Francisco has surrendered the sixth-most receptions and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle) was listed as a limited participant again on Thursday due to an ankle injury. It's a new injury for McConkey, but as long as he upgrades to a full-go on Friday, he should be cleared to play this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 11. The 24-year-old second-year pass-catcher has come on strong after a slow start to the season that saw him go without a touchdown in the first four games. Since Week 5, though, McConkey has 35 catches on 53 targets for 457 yards and four touchdowns, including two 100-yard performances. He had four catches for a season-high 107 yards and a touchdown on six targets in the Sunday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. As long as McConkey is active against the Jags this weekend, he should be a must-start in fantasy lineups.
