Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Nacua is being considered day-to-day after injuring his left ankle in the team's Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens, but he is firmly up in the air to play in London in Week 7 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The fact that the 24-year-old isn't practicing on Wednesday is not a great sign, but he still has two days to get back on the field. It seems more likely that the Rams will hold the star wideout out of this weekend's game, with their bye coming in Week 8. We will continue to closely monitor Nacua's status, but fantasy managers should be preparing as if he won't suit up for their international game. If Nacua is out, Davante Adams will operate as the WR1, with Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) seeing an uptick in targets, too.

Ironically, Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan had a season-low 29 receiving yards on just three receptions in the 30-27 win over the visiting Dallas Cowboys in Week 6 on Sunday, but he made up for it by finding paydirt for the first two times in his NFL career. McMillan was targeted five times by quarterback Bryce Young, which tied for the team lead with running back Rico Dowdle. The 22-year-old from Arizona scored from 19 and two yards out, respectively, to salvage his fantasy day. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned with his low-yardage output against Dallas, as it's been clear that McMillan will lead the Panthers in yards, catches, and targets when all is said and done in 2025, as long as he stays healthy. He has a tough matchup upcoming against cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets in Week 7, but McMillan needs to remain in all starting fantasy lineups.
