"After exploding for 1,486 yards on 105 catches as a fifth-round rookie in 2023, Nacua produced 990 yards on 79 catches last season despite missing six games and a substantial chunk of two others. Once he was full-go in Week 10, Nacua went on to handle a massive 37% target share (11.3 per game) and his average of 22.3 fantasy points during the span would have ranked second over the full season. He led all receivers in yards per route run (3.7). The one concern with Nacua is touchdowns, as he has only 10 in 28 career games, and he was limited to six end zone targets (53rd at WR) in 2024. That said, with Cooper Kupp out and Davante Adams in, Nacua remains well positioned for a massive target share in a good Rams offense that has led the NFL in WR targets each of the last two seasons. After finishing sixth in fantasy PPG as a rookie and third in 2024, Nacua should be off the board in the first round."
"Nacua was limited to 29 receiving yards in the first half, and snowy conditions made it difficult to generate offense through the air for much of the second half, but the star receiver came alive as the Rams tried to orchestrate a late comeback. He made a 37-yard catch along the sideline followed by a 10-yard reception two plays later to get the Rams within 13 yards of a game-winning score on their final drive, but they would come no closer in the season-ending loss. Nacua has established himself as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL with 2,476 receiving yards in his first 28 NFL regular-season games, and he's slated to lead LA's receiving corps in 2025, which will be the third year of the 2023 fifth-round draft pick's four-year rookie contract."
