Rams deprioritized Cooper Kupp in favor of Puka Nacua's slot-heavy role

Matt Harmon identifies Cooper Kupp as the historical predecessor to Puka Nacua's current role. Harmon notes that the Rams began deprioritizing Kupp in the offense once both he and Nacua returned from injuries in 2024, shifting Nacua into the slot-heavy, off-ball Z receiver role previously occupied by Kupp.
