Who Should I Start? Puka Nacua or Ladd McConkey

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.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is good to go for Week 11 after practicing fully on Friday, despite dealing with an ankle issue earlier in the week. McConkey proved himself as the Chargers' WR1 last week with four catches for a team-high 107 yards and a touchdown, including a notable 58-yard chunk play. He now faces a Jacksonville Jaguars secondary that has been struggling lately, giving up the ninth-most passing yards, the fourth-most receiving touchdowns, and 31 receptions of 20 or more yards. Although McConkey will face a difficult slot matchup against Jaguars DB Jarrian Jones (allowing 3.6 yards/target), his volume and recent performance make him a valuable option. With WR Quentin Johnston (shin) listed as questionable heading into Sunday, RotoBaller ranks McConkey as WR14 this week. He is expected to be a high-end WR2 with potential WR1 upside if Johnston misses.
