The NFL is not expected to place Puka Nacua on the commissioner’s exempt list, removing one major obstacle ahead of the Rams’ season opener against San Francisco. Nacua is not completely out of the woods with the league, but the decision signals that his situation does not warrant a paid suspension at this time.

Now the only real Week 1 concern is his groin, and current expectations are that the injury will not keep him out of the Rams’ Australian opener. PlayerProfiler’s WR1 reflects Nacua’s elite production, including a 95th percentile Target Share and 93rd percentile Catch Rate. If Nacua gets cleared, keep drafting him like the alpha he is.
