The Los Angeles Rams are set to receive a significant boost as star receiver Puka Nacua is expected to play in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. Nacua had been dealing with a chest injury sustained during the previous week”s game against the New Orleans Saints. However, he has been removed from the injury report, indicating he is ready to return to action.
This season has seen Nacua emerge as one of the standout wide receivers in the NFL. Over the course of seven games, he has accumulated 61 receptions on 73 targets, totaling 711 yards and three touchdowns. Even while managing his chest injury in Week 9, he still managed to catch seven of his eight targets for 95 yards and a touchdown.
In their earlier encounter this season, Nacua had a notable performance against the 49ers, recording 10 catches for 85 yards and a touchdown. His involvement in the offense is expected to be significant, particularly given that he has averaged over 10 targets per game this season. In fact, he has been targeted at least eight times in all but one game this year, where he was limited to three targets due to injury.
In the last matchup against the 49ers, quarterback Matthew Stafford looked to Nacua 12 times, showcasing his importance in the Rams” offensive scheme. With San Francisco currently ranking 24th in the league for passing yards allowed, Nacua is poised to exploit this weakness effectively.
For those considering prop bets, Nacua is likely to exceed his receptions line, and a long shot wager on him recording 10 or more catches at odds of +219 could be worth exploring. Please note that betting odds are subject to change and refresh periodically.
