Footballguys on Puka Nacua

Nacua back from groin strain; expect 12-14 points Week 4, then normal production.

Puka Nacua returns for Week 4 after a two-week absence from a groin strain. Historically, WRs returning from groin strains see a moderate decline in fantasy production in their first game back, with roughly 25% falling outside normal variance; for Nacua, that could mean closer to 12-14 fantasy points rather than his usual 20-point ceiling. Tom Pelissero reporting indicates Nacua could be on a snap count in Week 4. However, these declines are typically short-lived with no evidence of significant long-term effects. The source recommends starting Nacua in every format, noting you don't bench your first-round pick when they are active.
