McVay: Nacua (groin) is not making great progress
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Rams' No. 2 receiver Puka Nacua remains doubtful for Week 3 due to a groin injury, having missed practice and the previous game, with coach Sean McVay hopeful but uncertain about his return against the Broncos.
- In Nacua's absence, Davante Adams and tight end Terrance Ferguson have become primary offensive targets, with Adams delivering dominant performances and Ferguson stepping into a TE1 fantasy role.
- The Rams' wide receiver depth is thin, with Jordan Whittington also inactive, leaving players like Tutu Atwell, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith to fill in behind Adams.
- The offense has adapted well without Nacua, maintaining high efficiency and likely leaning more on running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum if Nacua remains sidelined.
- Fantasy managers face challenges replacing Nacua on short notice, as his uncertain status and limited alternatives among Rams receivers complicate lineup decisions for upcoming games.
