Puka Nacua caught 9-of-11 targets for 164 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ Week 16 win over the Saints.
Nacua added two carries for a rugged 16 ground yards. The 164 receiving was a new career-high for the otherworldly rookie, who is now up to 96 receptions through 15 games. The touchdown was somehow only his fifth, though he could have had a sixth had Matthew Stafford not missed a wide-open red zone look. For the score the duo did convert, Nacua simply beat his man to the spot on a two-yard end zone grab. Nacua made an absurd sliding, sideline catch on the opening play of the second half. You could feel his production this evening. He went out and took the yards. The Giants are a plus Week 17 matchup for the fantasy finals.
