From the episode

Puka Nakua, man. I mean, he is a step above every other wide receiver. Just when you look at what his probable target share is going to be his historic efficiency.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Nakua projects higher than consensus WR1s; off-field discount is temporary.

Matt Kelley projects Puka Nakua as a step above every other wide receiver based on probable target share and historic efficiency, despite consensus ranking him as WR2 or WR3 rather than WR1. Kelley attributes the consensus discount to off-field risk from a biting incident, but believes this is overblown and will be forgotten once the season starts. He projects Nakua at 19.3 PPG, slightly higher than Jamar Chase at 19 PPG, with an edge in yards per reception despite Chase having more targets.
