Puka Nacua turned 19 targets into 14 receptions for 150 yards and a TD in the Rams win over the Commanders. His 35.0 PPR points lead all WRs in Week 9 pending Sunday- and Monday Night Football. If that result holds, it would be the second time this season Nacua finished a week as the WR1.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Targets Galore, Tests Ahead
Nacua was peppered with 19 targets for the second-most he’s commanded in a week this season. It trails only his 24-target count from Week 5 against the Bills. It also marks the fourth-highest total by any WR in a week this season.
He’s now posted at least a 40% target share in back-to-back weeks, pushing his season mark to 36.0%, tops among WRs.
Nacua has turned that league-leading target share into 24.8 PPR points per game, good for the WR2 spot behind only Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury on the final offensive snap of the game. The team doesn’t believe Nacua tore his ACL, but he’s scheduled for an MRI on Monday. We’ll update his status as it becomes available.
If he were to miss time, Konata Mumpfield slots in as the Rams’ WR1 with WR Davante Adams still out following his hamstring injury.
