Puka Nacua Listed as Doubtful for Week 3, Opening the Door for a Fantasy Football Sleeper

Puka Nacua is listed as doubtful for Week 3, a major blow to the Los Angeles Rams ahead of their game against the Denver Broncos. Head coach Sean McVay said the star wide receiver missed Week 2 versus the New York Giants due to groin and hip soreness and, despite no structural concern, is still dealing with discomfort that prevents him from reaching full top-end speed without feeling tightness. Fantasy implications are immediate: with Nacua expected to sit, Terrance Ferguson’s role expands, carrying TE sleeper value after his Week 2 output of 6 catches for 54 yards and a touchdown. Davante Adams becomes the primary centerpiece after an 8-catch, 195-yard, two-touchdown performance in Nacua’s absence, while Matthew Stafford’s production outlook shifts accordingly.
