From the article

Stafford has Puka Nacua back, which opens up the entire field in new ways. Nacua didn't look fully healthy last week, but he didn't ramp up gradually either, catching 9 of 12 targets for 125 yards and running for a touchdown.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Nacua's return opens Rams field; 9-125-1 in limited action despite injury concerns.

Nacua returned in Week 4 and immediately opened up the entire Rams field; he caught 9 of 12 targets for 125 yards and a rushing touchdown despite not looking fully healthy and not ramping up gradually. Against Buffalo's weak secondary (only Christian Benford dependable, and he's dealing with a lingering toe injury), Nacua's route-running in the slot presents a major problem for the Bills' coverage, particularly against Dee Alford. Nacua carries injury risk, but his reinforcements provide tons of standalone value.
