He also added a rushing score. Clearly the WR1 in Los Angeles over Cooper Kupp, Nacua is starting to look like the rookie phenom we all fell in love with last season. While the Rams aren't as explosive as they have in the past, Nacua is looking like a top ten dynasty receiver at this point and any chance to have bought low for his services have long since passed.

Dynasty Analysis
Nacua has missed much of the season, but he looked like his rookie self today, making a number of contested catches. He and Cooper Kupp (6/106/2) dominated targets with 19 combined and both look like viable fantasy starters moving forward, with Nacua having both more short and long-term upside. He's a solid hold in dynasty leagues.
Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was ejected from Sunday's win against Seattle.
Dynasty Analysis
Nacua posted one catch for 11 yards before being tossed after throwing a punch at a defender. It was a disaster for dynasty managers, but certainly not something that's going to linger. Nacua could be fined for the incident, but it's hard to see him being suspended over this. In the end, Nacua should return to his WR1/2 spot when the Rams take the field again.
The Rams have placed wide receiver Puka Nacua on injured reserve.
Dynasty Analysis
Uh oh. Nacua will now miss at least the next four weeks and we won't see him until week seven at the earliest after the Rams have their bye week - this means dynasty managers will be without him until at least October 20th, a brutal blow to just about any dynasty franchise this year. Cooper Kupp will soak up a massive amount of targets and dynasty managers need to plan accordingly. As for Nacua, this is a short-term issue and won't affect anything other than his short-term outlook.

Dynasty Analysis
Nacua tried playing through what has been a bothersome knee ailment but was unable to do so on Sunday night. This is a significant concern as the Rams are going to be doing some testing to find out exactly what's going on. Nacua looks to be out in the short-term at the very least, so dynasty managers are likely going to need to look elsewhere for production. Stay tuned.
