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.
What They're Saying
Speaking about Nacua and offensive linemen Steve Avila and Joe Noteboom, McVay said, "each have unique injuries that, as of right now, could keep them out longer than [4 weeks.]”

We'll continue to track Nacua's recovery from this latest knee injury. He'll at least be helped by the Rams' Week 6 bye, which gives him six full weeks to heal up before he's first eligible to return in Week 7. Nacua remains worth keeping stashed in virtually all fantasy leagues.
Other Winners and Losers
This news makes WRs Demarcus Robinson and Tyler Johnson a bit more valuable. It's possible their usage bumps last longer than four games.
And, of course, Cooper Kupp looks like a top-5 fantasy WR for however long Nacua is out.
