Puka Nacua News
Friday, November 13, 8:25 AM
Los Angeles Rams All-Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee, toe) was placed on injured reserve after suffering an MCL and PCL sprain, as well as turf toe, on the team's final offensive play of a Week 9 win over the Commanders, but NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reports that he is targeting a mid-December return. While that timeline would afford him the chance to ramp up ahead of a potential Rams playoff run, it likely puts his return close to the start or even midway through the fantasy playoffs. The WR2 by points per game, Nacua is one of the few players reasonably capable of making an immediate fantasy impact following an injury of this nature, putting contending fantasy managers in a bind as to whether to hold him or flip him for more reliable production. The two-time Pro Bowler is RotoBaller's WR31 in rest-of-season rankings.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Friday, November 13, 4:16 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan had a decent performance in Week 9 versus a tough Broncos' secondary, drawing six targets and catching four of them for 56 yards, with his fantasy day being saved by a five-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. McMillan and teammate Jalen Coker only received 11 targets combined as the premier pieces of the Panthers' passing attack, which is atypical, as McMillan has only seen six or fewer targets in three games through eight played. His usual substantial role has elevated him to WR14 in fantasy points per game this year. He has an easier task this week against a vulnerable Saints' defense, which is middle of the league in both fantasy points and touchdowns allowed to opposing wide receivers. Given that QB Bryce Young leads the NFL in pass attempts per game at 38.5, and the Saints Defense has allowed 27 points per game, McMillan should be in line for plenty of opportunities in Week 10. Fantasy managers can confidently start McMillan as a high-end WR2 in their Week 10 contest.
