News: 17 hours agoNacua hauled in six of seven targets for 80 yards during Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals

Spin: The modest stat line for Nacua may indicate otherwise, but it was a subpar performance aside from the 43-yard connection he made with QB Matthew Stafford just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. As for his five other grabs, Nacua averaged just 7.4 YPC. It was a far cry from the 17-138-1 line on 24 targets that he put up during last Monday's overtime loss to the Bills, but he's still sitting on a healthy 37-417-1 line on 52 targets through his four appearances this season. Nacua and the 2-4 Rams will look to right the ship next Sunday at Las Vegas.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Nacua has defied the odds, emerging from fifth-round flier in 2023 to one of the most relied upon and productive offensive players in the league. Nacua has finished each of his three pro seasons sixth or better among receivers in fantasy PPG and peaked with a first-place finish last season. Matthew Stafford's top target led the league with 129 receptions and finished no lower than third among receivers in targets, yardage and touchdowns, while also adding 105 yards and one score as a rusher. More goal-line work would be nice (he has 11 end zone targets over the past two seasons), but Nacua's heavy usage in an elite offense locks in the 25-year-old as arguably the top receiver in fantasy.
