Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua earned Rookie of the Week honors for his performance against the Indianapolis Colts, his second time winning the award in three weeks.
Less than a month into his NFL career, Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua has taken the league by storm.
With Cooper Kupp missing the start of the season to the injury, Nacua has taken the mantle of the Rams' No. 1 receiver and run with it. As of Friday, the fifth-round pick out of BYU has the most receptions in the league at 39 and the third-most yards at 501. Nacua hasn't just been one of the best receivers in the league, but has had one of the best starts to his career of any receiver ever., and on Thursday, he added another award to his rapidly-growing collection.
Nacua's rise has been meteoric, but an interesting wrinkle will be how the return of Kupp in Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles affects his production. Kupp is still the unquestioned No. 1 receiver when healthy, and his return will mean that Nacua's number of targets will decline. On the other hand, having two star-caliber receivers to defend will make the Rams' offense that much scarier, and it was already doing well without Kupp.
