Puka Nacua: Wild Card Win, Divisional Round Ready, and 2025 Fantasy Gold

Puka Nacua had a solid performance in the Rams’ Wild Card win over the Minnesota Vikings, catching five of his nine targets for 44 yards and adding a seven-yard rush. Despite his relatively modest production compared to recent games, Nacua’s role as Matthew Stafford’s top target remains clear. He led the team in targets, outperforming Cooper Kupp, who posted just one catch for 29 yards. While his Wild Card outing wasn’t his most impressive, it reinforced that he’s still the most reliable weapon in the Rams offense. 

 

 

Looking ahead to the Divisional Round, Nacua faces a tough challenge against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he’s proven he can deliver against elite defenses. In the first matchup between these two teams this season, he caught nine passes for 117 yards on 13 targets, showcasing his ability to thrive in tough matchups. With Stafford’s trust in him, Nacua remains the top fantasy option for the Rams and should be considered a high-upside DFS play. His ceiling is as high as any receiver this weekend, and his value heading into 2025 remains strong. Nacua has established himself as a key piece in the Rams’ offense, and with Kupp’s continued struggles, he could see even more volume next season, making him one of the most valuable WR assets for the future.
