Puka Nacua fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 8 (2024). Should you start or sit Puka Nacua for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start if playing (but it's risky)
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/???
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) may play tonight, and if he does, fantasy managers will have a hard time deciding whether to start him. It's unknown if the Rams are attempting to play mind games by supposedly being "optimistic" about Nacua returning to play on Thursday Night Football.

It may be too tough to sit your first or second round pick if he plays, though. The upside is tremendous. Unless you have a roster filled with great players and can fill out all your starting spots with must-starts or solid options with easy matchups, you should probably fire up Nacua.
Don't expect much, though. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. His practice window was only activated on October 22. Honestly, it seems more likely that not that he doesn't play. You're hoping that Los Angeles has intentionally been overly pessimistic up to this point as a smokescreen.
After leaving injured, Rams rookie Puka Nacua is back with a vengeance. Takes this jet sweep for 31.

He's in an elite offense with an elite quarterback. He's also an elite player. Fire him up if he starts, but know you're taking a gamble.
UPDATE: Nacua will play on Thursday Night
