Who Should I Start? Puka Nacua or Malik Nabers

Monday, March 24, 7:30 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua said on the "Join The Lobby" podcast that he would like to retire from the NFL at the age of 30. It would mean that the 23-year-old (24 in May) pass-catcher would have six or seven more years of football left in him. After being selected in the fifth round (177th overall) in 2023, Nacua has been lights-out his first two professional seasons with a combined 184 catches on 266 targets for 2,476 yards and nine touchdowns in 28 regular-season starts. Barring an injury, he should be an elite receiver in the NFL for years to come, especially now that Cooper Kupp is no longer in L.A. Nacua did miss five games in the first half of the 2025 campaign due to a knee injury, but on a per-game basis, he was even more productive for fantasy managers. Even with Davante Adams essentially replacing Kupp, Nacua should be a target hog and a strong WR1 target in fantasy drafts.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) is not practicing on Wednesday, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. The injury reportedly dates back to the receiver's time at LSU, and he just needs a rest day. Hughes' report suggests that the injury is not serious and that Nabers should return to practice soon. This is good news for the Giants and fantasy managers alike. Despite poor quarterback play, Nabers dominated during his rookie season, catching 109 passes for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns through 15 games. He finished as the overall WR6 in PPR leagues, and he could presumably rank inside the top three in 2025 with a full season of Russell Wilson under center.
