Nacua managed to reel in four catches for 35 yards and carried the ball once for seven yards before leaving the game, which at least softened the blow for fantasy managers who were counting on him to come through in Sunday’s primetime thriller. He was being utilized healthily, if not heavily, prior to his exit just before halftime, but as of the writing of this newsletter, specifics of the exact injury he sustained are not available. Knee injuries tend to be finicky, and there were reports that Nacua was dealing with a knee injury coming into the season during training camp. The hope is that Nacua was able to avoid the worst-case scenario (which would obviously be an ACL tear), but the fact that he had to be carted off the field suggests that we could be looking at some missed time for the second-year WR. In relief of Nacua, 2021 Cooper Kupp showed his face last night with 14 receptions on 21 targets of his own for 110 yards and a touchdown. As long as Nacua is out, Kupp will profile as a bona-fide WR1, while DeMarcus Robinson will likely be the preferred waiver wire pickup in his absence. TE Colby Parkinson also brings intrigue, but given Stafford’s rapport with Kupp, the expectation should be that the Rams have a very top-heavy distribution over the course of Nacua’s recovery.
