Puka Nacua officially inactive for Week 2 vs. NYG
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Rams wide receiver Nacua is questionable for Week 2 against the Giants due to a groin injury, with reports suggesting he is more likely to miss the game, which would impact the Rams' offensive strategy.
- If Nacua is sidelined, Davante Adams is expected to see an increase in targets, while running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum could receive a heavier workload to compensate.
- Backup receivers Konata Mumpfield or Xavier Smith would step up as the No. 2 receiver if both Nacua and Jordan Whittington (also injured) are out, though they are considered low-tier fantasy options.
- Nacua has been dealing with groin and psoas issues since August but avoided suspension related to a civil lawsuit, allowing him to play earlier in the season; however, his health remains a concern for fantasy managers and the Rams alike.
- The Rams will announce their official inactives 90 minutes before kickoff, leaving fantasy managers limited time to adjust their lineups for Monday Night Football.
