Ron Stewart on Puka Nacua

VideoThe Perfect Early Round Draft Strategy for 2026 Fantasy FootballAugust 18, 2026

From the video

Puka Nakua was the guy you drafted in the first round...those huge league winning players you get at a cheap cost can be found at wide receiver in that round three to eight area...What do you do at the 105 there? We are taking a wide receiver. I'm still going to take Jamar Chase Pukanua.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Tier-one value WR with 20+ PPG upside; better early pick than elite RBs.

Nakua is ranked in tier one alongside Gibbs and Bejian Robinson as a better pick than Jonathan Taylor or Christian McCaffrey; he is the number one wide receiver for a top-six scoring offense with an easy upside path to 20+ PPG, making him a league-winning player at a cheap cost relative to elite RBs. The source positions him as an elite wide receiver who should be taken at pick 105 in a doomsday scenario where McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor are both gone by picks 103-104, emphasizing that taking an elite player like Nakua is preferable to settling for a weaker running back like James Cook.
