From the episode

Puka Nakua was a target monster against the Eagles. In those four games, 11, 13, 14, and 15 targets, over 13 targets a game, 8.3 receptions a game. With a groin injury, it's not going to usually affect your production back on the field. Seven catches last year hitting this line, 12 of 16 games. So 75%, even when he missed it, five, six, and six usually.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Nakua's receptions line discounted to 6.5 despite historical 8.3 catches per game vs. Eagles.

Nakua is positioned for strong production against Philadelphia's defense despite a groin injury discount on his line. Historically, in four matchups against the Eagles, Nakua averaged 13-15 targets per game and 8.3 receptions per game. His receptions line is discounted to 6.5 (down from 7.5 in week one) at plus 123 over, and the source trusts that if Nakua plays, he will be fully productive (not a decoy) because groin injuries typically don't affect production once a player returns. The source likes escalators: 8+ catches at plus 216, 9+ at 4-to-1, and 10+ at 7-to-1.
