Who Should I Start? Quez Watkins or Puka Nacua

Sunday, August 3, 11:28 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Quez Watkins (undisclosed) has been placed on injured reserve. The 27-year-old left Friday's practice with an injury and did not return. Watkins, who began his career in 2020 with the Eagles, compiled a stat line of 98 receptions, 1,249 yards, and six touchdowns over four seasons, with his 2021 season being his most productive. His placement on IR is not expected to have any fantasy relevance, as he was far down the depth chart and looking to secure a roster spot on his new team. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals signed wide receiver Nate McCollum.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) will be limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McVay. It will be the first time that Nacua has practiced with the team since suffering a low left-ankle sprain in the Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Nacua sat out in Week 7 in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars and had the bye last week to rest further. Although it's not official that the 24-year-old will be back in Week 9 versus the New Orleans Saints, he is trending in the right direction to be available on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. Despite having played in only six games so far in 2025, Nacua is still the WR5 in half-PPR scoring thanks to 54 receptions on 65 targets for 616 yards and two touchdowns. His 65 targets rank sixth among all wideouts. If Nacua is active this weekend, he's a must-start in all fantasy football setups.
