Puka Nacua Looking For Another Solid Outing Versus The Jets

Friday, December 20, 9:50 PM

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has missed time this season due to injury. However, he's been a quality wideout when healthy, as expected, catching 61 passes for 805 yards and three touchdowns in nine appearances. Although a few more end zone trips from the 23-year-old would be nice, fantasy managers are happy as long as he stays on the field. With the Rams currently sitting atop the NFC West, the team needs a win against the Jets in Week 16 to enhance their chances of earning a postseason berth. While the Jets defense can be a problem at times, that shouldn't keep Nacua out of any fantasy lineup on Sunday. Keep him starting.

Malik Nabers Cleared For Week 16

Friday, December 20, 2:57 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee, foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie wideout was limited to start the week and end it, but will suit up this weekend. Possibly, the Giants were just giving the 21-year-old some extra rest considering he's dealing with a few lingering issues. Quarterback Drew Lock (heel, elbow) has been cleared as well, so that should increase Nabers' fantasy value. Nabers hauled in 10 receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown last week. Fantasy managers can go ahead and plug Nabers in as a WR2 for a plus-matchup against the Falcons secondary.
