Puka Nacua's fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 15 (2023). Our advice on whether you should start or sit Puka Nacua for fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is currently ranked as WR10 in PPR formats this year, maintaining an average of 17.1 points per game. The rookie wide receiver has emerged as one of the biggest steals of the fantasy season due to his early dominance.
He has sustained productive output, even with the return of star teammate Cooper Kupp. Since the bye in Week 10, Nacua has scored 14 or more points in three of the last four games, including a 105-yard performance against the Browns in Week 13.
In Week 15, the Rams face the Commanders, a team that has allowed the second-most points per game to wide receivers this season. Washington's defense ranks last by far in dropback EPA/play this season, underscoring their vulnerability to the pass throughout the year.
The 22-year-old Nacua has seen at least seven targets in every game this season. Notably, in the Commanders' Week 13 matchup, Tyreek Hill amassed 157 yards, and in the game before that, the Cowboys had two touchdowns by receivers. With this promising matchup, Nacua is poised to perform as a high-end WR2 in Week 15 against the Commanders.
