2026 Week 4 Fantasy Football: Rams Expect Puka Nacua to Play vs. Eagles
Nacua is trending toward returning from a hip/groin injury that kept him out two weeks — here's what it means for your roster.
Puka Nacua is on track to suit up in Week 4, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Nacua has missed the past two games with a hip and groin injury, but Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday's practice will include Nacua on a limited basis and that he expects him to play against the Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday. Nacua's injury status remains Questionable, so monitor practice reports through the week.
Puka Nacua
If McVay's optimism holds, Nacua is a strong start this week. He returns to an offense that, per the source story, has leaned heavily on Davante Adams in his absence — meaning Nacua steps back into a complementary role alongside a legitimate No. 1 receiver, not a thin supporting cast. That's a favorable target-share situation if both are on the field together. In dynasty, there's nothing new to change your valuation; in redraft, he's a plug-and-play option assuming he's active — just confirm his status when the official injury report drops Friday.
Davante Adams
Adams carried a heavy load with Nacua out, per the source story, so expect his volume to compress with Nacua back. He's not a fade — he's a proven No. 1 — but the inflated target share he's enjoyed the past two weeks won't last. Temper expectations slightly relative to how he's been performing over that stretch.
Konata Mumpfield
Mumpfield stepped up in Nacua's absence, catching four passes for 93 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Broncos. Nacua's return almost certainly pushes Mumpfield back down the depth chart. He's a droppable commodity in most redraft leagues once Nacua is confirmed active.
