Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Rams WR Puka Nacua hauled in 7 of 9 targets for 106 yards in Thursday night's win over the Vikings. All three marks led the team. It was a super impressive performance from a guy who'd been out since Week 1 and had practiced just twice since coming off IR. Nacua's playing time was scaled back a bit: He played 56% of the offensive snaps and ran a route on 67% of pass plays. But his previous knee injury didn't seem to be a factor when he was on the field. Nacua created plenty of separation and ran with his usual oomph after the catch.
Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) is officially active for tonight's game vs. the Vikings. It'll be his first action since Week 1. Nacua just returned to practice on Tuesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported a couple of hours ago that the Rams wouldn't decide until pregame warmups how much Nacua will play tonight. We'll look for any further updates on that front, but it's a good bet that he'll be on some type of snap count. As of now, we'd lean toward sitting Nacua in most cases. His receiving line prop on most sportsbooks is set around 29.5 yards.
Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) has been activated from IR, setting him up to play vs. the Vikings tonight. It's a major surprise considering Nacua got in just two limited practices this week -- his first two since going down way back in Week 1. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero suggested this morning that Nacua would likely be on a snap count if he played tonight, which certainly makes sense. His fantasy floor and ceiling are significantly lower than usual for Week 8, but he might still make sense as a starter for your team. Check your Team Intel tool to see how Nacua stacks up against the rest of your players this week.
We chuckled when the Rams listed WR Puka Nacua (knee) as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. He's practiced just twice -- Tuesday and Wednesday -- since going down in Week 1. But, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, "there is now optimism" that Nacua could play Minnesota.
The Rams list WR Puka Nacua (knee) as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. He's questionable in the same way I'm questionable to break 70 on the golf course. In other words, we'd be shocked if Nacua played tomorrow after getting in just two official practices since his Week 1 knee injury. He should remain parked on fantasy benches for now.
Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) has been designated to return from IR. He'll get back on the practice field on Tuesday but is very unlikely to play vs. the Vikings on Thursday night. Barring a setback, though, Nacua should have a chance to make it back for Week 9's meeting with the Seahawks. With WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) set to return on Thursday, QB Matt Stafford is getting close to having his full arsenal back. He could be a fantasy factor even in 1-QB leagues over the second half of the season.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp is being shopped by the team. The Rams have apparently contacted several teams and are asking for a 2nd round pick. The team is willing to take on some of his salary in 2024 to get this return. As the Rams continue losing, they may view their window having closed to contend for a championship.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports that Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) is expected to miss "at least another month." Glazer throws out Week 8 as a potential return target for Nacua. That closely matches the 5-7 week timetable we got from ESPN's Adam Schefter after Nacua aggravated his knee injury in the opener. Fantasy players who have kept Nacua stashed since that injury should keep stashing. He still has WR1 fantasy upside over the second half of the season.
Rams WR Puka Nacua could miss 5-7 weeks with his PCL injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) will miss at least the next four games after going on IR. But HC Sean McVay suggested on Wednesday that Nacua might end up missing more time than that.
Rams HC Sean McVay said Monday that the team is placing WR Puka Nacua on IR after he aggravated his right knee injury in Sunday night's loss to the Lions, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Nacua is dealing with a PCL sprain that he reportedly hurt in a "more significant" way against Detroit.
Rams WR Puka Nacua injured a knee in the first half of Sunday night's game vs. the Lions and was ruled out at halftime. This appeared to be the same right knee that Nacua hurt on August 4, sidelining him for about three weeks. We'll look for further updates on his status going forward.
