Nacua's 23.8 PPR points per game were 3.4 more than the WR2 overall (Jaxon Smith-Njigba) last season. Over the past two seasons, only Ja'Marr Chase is in his neighborhood. And over his entire career, Nacua has the most receiving yards per game (95.3) in NFL history. HISTORY. The Rams offense projects for the most points in the NFL per the betting markets, and the competition for targets around him is the same. Just 33-year-old Davante Adams and a bunch of TEs. Nacua's upside and floor are already obvious, but there is one spot that gives him even more of a ceiling: the red zone. Adams had a 27% target share in the red zone compared to Nacua's 17%. Adams scored 13 RZ TDs to Nacua's 6. That could change at any point, especially if Adams' hammy acts up. Outside of the red zone, Nacua caught 8.1 receptions per game (LMAO) on a 33% target share. It's a good thing if Sean McVay wants to mix in 3-TE sets, as it's just easier for Nacua to stand out and earn a target. As long as his off-field decisions don't get up to him on the field, Nacua is a no-brainer top-5 pick in all formats. In full PPR, Nacua is my 1.02. In half PPR, Nacua is my 1.04 and I'm considering a move up to 1.02 given the lack of depth at WR in the middle rounds.
