Trends


"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 entered Sunday's contest with 119 catches over 15 healthy starts in 2025, which put him in a dead heat with Cardinals TE Trey McBride for the league lead in receptions, so it was fitting that both of the superstars' teams faced off against one another in the final game of the regular season. The wideout outproduced the tight end in this individual competition after Nacua secured 10 of his 11 targets compared to McBride's seven and eight, respectively. The 24-year-old Nacua added 24 rushing yards to give fantasy managers an even 100 yards from scrimmage to go along with his 11th touchdown as the Rams secured the victory and the NFC's fifth seed with the playoffs set to commence next week. The NFL's reception leader could be busy against Carolina's talented secondary when Nacua and the Rams visit the Panthers in the wild-card round."
