The Los Angeles Rams will face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Puka Nacua.
Is Puka Nacua Playing in Week 17?
Nacua is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Rams’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Puka Nacua in Week 17?
Remember when Nacua threw a punch against the Seahawks back in early November? Since that game, his 17-game pace is for a cool 138 catches. It’s become clear that the NFL has no answer for him, and instead of him fading as the league gets film on him, he’s getting better.
Nacua has caught 87.1% of his targets over the past three weeks, up from 64.6% in his previous five games. As long as Matthew Stafford is under center, this is as safe of an asset as there is in the game. Depending on your draft slot next season, you might not get the chance to roster Nacua next season – make the most of it this year!
