Hello to all of my fantasy football enthusiasts. In continuing the Dynasty Taragets series for the 2024 season, I want to discuss the 2023 rookie sensation and 2024 Dynasty Target: Puka Nacua!
Player Overview
During the 2023 NFL draft, the LA Rams secretly had a great draft with a minimal amount of draft picks. Pick number 177 in round 5 was a huge reason for that. The Rams, with Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay, and Puka Nacua, made for a great marriage. Puka Nacua had the best rookie wide receiver season in NFL history. He was the clear-cut target leader in the Rams offense as a rookie, even with sharing the field with the great Cooper Kupp. With Stafford coming back for another year, McVay still being the head coach and a strong commitment to making their o-line better, Puka is a great dynasty target for your 2024 fantasy drafts.
Trade Value
With the type of offense he is in and the type of season that he had with Stafford, it would be very expensive for a dynasty manager to get him off of my roster. Considering his youth, production, and efficiency, along with everything else that I have talked about, negotiations would start with the Top 6-12 WR and a mid-round rookie pick.
Player Summary
Puka Nacua surpassed Cooper Kupp as the WR1 in this Matthew Stafford offense in 2023, which is very hard to do, nobody saw this coming. Puka demanded 160 targets which was #7 overall, and came down with 105 of them for 1,486 yards to go with 6 TDs. Which made this kid extremely efficient. He played 87.9% of snaps, making him #16 overall. Here is the kicker, he was ranked #1 in drops last season as a rookie receiving all of that work. With another year under his belt with the same offense and same QB, I believe he will take his game to the next level and could be a Top 5 receiver this year.
This dude was awesome last year, and he is going to elevate his awesomeness this year! I believe he will be a high-value fantasy asset for a very long time.
