Puka Nacua's fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 13 (2023). Our advice on whether you should start or sit Puka Nacua for fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was an afterthought heading into the season. The Rams would be without Cooper Kupp for at least the first four weeks of the year with a hamstring injury. While many thought Van Jefferson or Tutu Atwell would step up with the superstar wide receiver out of the lineup, the rookie was unstoppable in Week 1.
The former BYU star had 10 receptions on 15 targets for 119 receiving yards and 16.9 half-point PPR fantasy points in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Nacua had another outstanding performance in Week 2, totaling 15 receptions on 20 targets for 147 receiving yards and 22.6 fantasy points.
While he has cooled off since the return of Kupp, the rookie star is the WR10 for the season, averaging 13.5 fantasy points per game. He has 73 receptions on 111 targets for 924 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Unfortunately, Nacua has an awful fantasy football matchup in Week 13. The Cleveland Browns have held wide receivers to only 20.1 fantasy points per game, the second-fewest in the NFL. Furthermore, they have given up only one receiving touchdown to wide receivers over the past three weeks.
