2026 Fantasy Outlook
Famously just a fifth-round pick, Nacua came out of the gate in 2023 with a rookie record of 1,486 receiving yards. He then led the NFL in yards per route run (3.70) in 2024, but a knee injury limited him to 487 snaps over 11 regular-season games. Healthier last year, Nacua again led the league in YPRR (3.80), only this time across 16 regular-season games (727 snaps), averaging a WR-leading 23.5 PPR points. His route share (75.1 percent) was still low relative to other top wideouts, but that helped him stay fresh and sustain absurd per-route usage, similar to Tyreek Hill's 2022-23 peak in Miami. Targeted on a league-high 36.1 percent of routes last year, Nacua did damage at every level, even catching 13 passes (t-3rd) 20-plus yards downfield (to equal his combined total from 2023-24). The lone disappointment? Nacua's 17.0 percent target share in the red zone, where Davante Adams (34.8 percent) took precedence. Nacua nonetheless scored 12 times in 19 total games, putting up 129-1,715-10 during the regular season and 24-332-2 across three playoff outings. Epic campaign aside, Nacua's unusual off-field behavior became a repeated source of public interest throughout the winter, culminating in a March trip to a holistic treatment facility. The Rams reportedly discussed trading Adams and acquiring A.J. Brown around that same time, but stability is otherwise the story in Los Angeles, with every 2025 starter on offense under contract for 2026. Continued off-field problems are the only thing that would prevent Nacua from being a consensus top-five pick in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Nacua checked into a rehab facility in March and now is back at team facilities and participating in strength and conditioning with teammates. The All-Pro wideout, who led the NFL with 129 receptions across his 17 regular-season appearances in 2025 while totaling a career-high 1,715 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, is entering the final year of his rookie contract. That makes the 24-year-old eligible for an extension, the likes of which could rival the four-year, $168.6 million deal fellow 2023 draftee Jaxon Smith-Njigba received from Seattle earlier this offseason, though Nacua's off-field circumstances may complicate negotiations, per the Los Angeles Times. A civil lawsuit was filed against Nacua in March, stemming from a Dec. 31, 2025 incident. Head coach Sean McVay said in late March that the team's "expectations" are that "this will be an opportunity for [Nacua] to learn and grow, and we are hopeful that he's a Ram for a really long time."

2023
After setting the rookie record for receiving yards, Nacua was even more productive on a per-game basis in his second pro season, averaging 7.2 catches for 90.0 yards even though a knee injury cost him five games and limited his snaps in three others. His 2024 average of 3.7 yards per route run was a league high, well above his 2.7 YPRR (8th) in 2023. Nacua is one of the strongest and most physical wide receivers in the league, with his ability to break tackles and win contested catches more than making up for average speed. He's a perfect fit in Sean McVay's offense, although the competition for targets got slightly tougher this offseason when the Rams swapped out a post-prime Cooper Kupp for a post-prime Davante Adams. It's otherwise a fantastic situation, as the team lacks secondary receivers that demand considerable target shares and still has QB Matthew Stafford playing at a reasonably high level. The two drawbacks are a sketchy injury history dating back to college and a lack of touchdowns (nine on 184 career receptions), but there are only a handful of WRs that project for similar quantities of catches and yards per game.
