We got mixed reports on the plan for Rams WR Puka Nacua ahead of his Sunday return against Philadelphia. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Nacua would return without limitations. Fox's Erin Andrews reported at the start of the game that the Rams expected to play him for about 40 snaps. Schefter apparently got better info, because Nacua played 76 of 84 offensive snaps. He also ran a route on 90.7% of the team's dropbacks and drew 12 targets, tallying 9 catches for 125 yards. Nacua added a 2-yard rushing TD as well.

Nacua interestingly trailed RB Kyren Williams by a target but drew three more than Davante Adams, who finished with just 4 catches for 32 yards (on 9 targets).
Nacua also indicated after the game that he felt good.
He now gets the seventh-best schedule for WR scoring up to the team's Week 11 bye. Only the Raiders in Week 7 stand as a negative matchup, and they couldn't stop the Chiefs passing game in Week 4.
Nacua plus that schedule could present a "buy" opportunity, if you find a manager still worried about the injury risk.
