Rams WR Puka Nacua misses Thursday's practice

Adam Schefter

Rams’ WR Puka Nacua did not practice today due to an oblique injury.

Fantasy Impact:

It is clear the Rams are not allowed to have nice things in the Year 2023. Nacua had an incredible debut, accounting for 40.5% of the team's targets in Week 1. Atwell notched 8 targets for 119 yards and would presumably get similar usage if Nacua were to miss this game. It's a shot in the dark, but Demarcus Robinson could get some extra run along the perimeter like he had with the Ravens in '22, as well.

Rams Beat: Team has depth at WR

ESPN

Sep 12, 2023 · 9:21 AM EDT

The Rams had not just one, but two receivers with more than 100 receiving yards on Sunday. Tutu Atwell set career highs with six catches for 119 yards, and rookie fifth-round pick Puka Nacua’s 10 catches for 119 yards were the most receiving yards in a rookie debut in team history.

And although fourth-year receiver Van Jefferson finished with just four catches for 24 yards, McVay said after the game that the receiver “is going to continue to be a big part of this as well.” Unlike last season when Jefferson was out with a knee injury, where defenses knew Kupp was Stafford’s most likely target, the Rams had multiple successful options.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said the depth at WR is one reason the team has a chance to survive without Kupp in the lineup, for at least the next three weeks. Another reason is the health of QB Stafford, who ended up not throwing for a touchdown but did have over 300 yards passing in the surprise win over Seattle. Atwell and Nacua will likely be waiver wire targets this week in your league, and along with Jefferson, are certainly worth looks if you're in need at the WR position.

McVay: WRs Tutu Atwell, Puka Nacua step up

Pro Football Talk

The Rams trailed 13-7 at halftime, but they scored the final 23 points of the game with wide receivers Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua playing a major role. Each of them posted 119 receiving yards as part of a big return to action for quarterback Matthew Stafford and head coach Sean McVay showered both wideouts with praise in his postgame comments.

Related players: Cooper Kupp

Fantasy Impact:

Atwell and Nacua are probably most known around dynasty communities, especially Nacua who garnered some attention this offseason when he was being used in a similar way to Deebo Samuel, and getting touches out of the backfield as well. Both players will likely get some attention this week on waiver wires after their Week 1 performances. With Kupp out of action for at least three more weeks, Atwell and Nacua could continue to get targets and touches.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp ruled out for Week 1

Rams coach Sean McVay says WR Cooper Kupp is out Sunday as he deals with his hamstring injury.

Related Players: Van Jefferson, Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell

Fantasy Impact:

What's worse, there's no guarantee that Kupp will avoid IR. Truly miserable news for fantasy and the WR himself, but we power on. Van Jefferson is now a very interesting fantasy piece and could absolutely be in Flex consideration as soon as this week. Nucua is an interesting hold on deep rosters, but the team has already shown their hand regarding Atwell as a rotational player.

Kupp is an obvious hold in all formats, regardless of a league's IR slot being active or not.
