Puka Nacua

Week 15 at San Francisco 49ers

We've seen Puka Nacua start to dominate targets over the last few weeks. While Cooper Kupp is still getting solid volume and is getting red zone targets, Nacua seems to be the clear alpha in this offense. We've been talking about the switch over the last few weeks, but now rankings reflect that as well.

The Rams have proven to be a super-efficient passing offense and that matchups don't really limit their ceiling since the passing attack is so concentrated. However, it should be noted that the 49ers are 8th aFPA against wide receivers this season. That said, I wouldn't be benching or worrying about Nacua this week. He's the WR2 overall for a reason, roll with him and feel confident.

Week 13 at New Orleans Saints

In what seems to be a consistent theme for Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, Nacua is going to lead in targets and yards and Kupp is going to lead in touchdowns, but be quite close in the other two categories.

Both Nacua and Kupp are going to remain WR1's every week, it's just a matter of how far up or down the ladder they are. Nacua is a little lower this week, but the Saints are 20th aFPA against receivers so it could be a big week (again) for both receivers. Both are must-starts.

Week 11 at New England Patriots

With both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp healthy, it was a bit surprising to see Nacua double up Kupp's targets last week (14 to 7). However, it looks like Nacua is going to be the 1A to Kupp's 1B in the offense moving forward.

The Patriots are 16th aFPA against receivers this season, so it's a decent matchup for Nacua this week. Whoever gets to avoid Christian Gonzalez more between Nacua and Kupp will likely have the better week. Either way, Nacua is a back-end WR1 this week and a must-start.
