Puka Nacua Could Step Into Starting Role

Published: Sep 03, 2023 at 03:25 PM
With Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) now likely to miss Week 1 of the regular season against the Seattle Seahawks, Tutu Atwell and rookie Puka Nacua would become the Nos. 2 and 3 wideouts behind Van Jefferson. The Rams also have Ben Skowronek and Demarcus Robinson, but they are clearly behind both Atwell and Nacua. The 22-year-old fifth-round rookie isn't worth drafting in 12-team fantasy leagues, but he's a name to keep an eye on in deeper formats entering the start of the season with Kupp injured. Nacua is versatile as a pass-catcher and as a runner, which could make him a versatile option for a Rams offense without many playmakers outside of Kupp and running back Cam Akers.
