Puka Nacua News
Wednesday, August 12, 1:05 PM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) left Tuesday's training camp practice early with a minor groin injury and could miss a "few days," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Rams have yet to even play their first preseason game this summer, so it's still very early in camp, and Nacua should be just fine for the start of the 2026 regular season in Week 1 in an international affair in Australia against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. The Rams are going to be extra cautious with the best wide receiver in the game, as they should. The 25-year-old will not suit up for the Rams' preseason opener this Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, unsurprisingly. In a Rams offense largely unchanged with reigning MVP QB Matthew Stafford running the show, Nacua is the consensus No. 2 fantasy WR in 2026, behind only the Cincinnati Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase. Nacua led the NFL with 129 receptions and 107.2 yards per game while recording a career-high 1,715 receiving yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns in 16 regular-season games.

Travis Hunter News
Tuesday, August 11, 5:58 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter is listed as the backup wide receiver, but a starting defensive back on the first unofficial depth chart, according to Ryan O'Halloran. The Jags have been shy about saying how they plan to deploy Hunter this upcoming season. According to Michael DiRocco of ESPN, Hunter has taken nearly 100 snaps on defense and 61 on offense during 11-on-11 drills. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Hunter won't need to know the entire offensive playbook this year. This offense does have Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington, so having Hunter is just a plus. Hunter is currently ranked as Rotoballer's WR72, but he could be a difference-maker depending on how the Jags use him.
