Puka Nacua has posted 14 receptions through two games in the 2026 season after missing Weeks 2 and 3 with a hip/groin issue described as a pre-hernia condition. The Rams wideout returned to full participation in Week 4, hauling in 9 of 12 targets for 125 yards plus a rushing score against Philadelphia, and he draws a favorable Monday Night matchup in Week 5 against Buffalo. In a contract year, Nacua operates as a primary option in Sean McVay’s scheme alongside Davante Adams, sustaining the high target share that produced an NFL-leading 129 receptions in 2025. Long-term volume hinges on workload management, the Rams’ passing volume, and avoidance of further setbacks over the remaining schedule.
