The Rams Are Taking the Training Wheels Off Puka Nacua Against the Eagles

If you were sweating over a potential snap count ruining your Sunday, you can officially exhale. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Rams have zero intentions of limiting Puka Nacua’s workload today against the Philadelphia Eagles.

That means no decoy routes, no arbitrary sideline rests, and no frustrating red-zone substitutions. The training wheels are off, and the Rams are ready to let their star receiver eat.

Los Angeles desperately needs the firepower. They are coming off a frustrating 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos last week and are looking to get their offense back on track. Having a fully healthy Nacua on the field for every crucial down is the easiest way to fix a sputtering passing game.

On the other side of the ball, this is the last thing the Eagles want to hear. Philadelphia is currently trying to wash off the stench of a 27-7 blowout loss to the Chicago Bears. Trying to fix a broken secondary while a full-speed Nacua runs crossing routes through your defense is like trying to fix a leaky roof during a hurricane.

For the fantasy managers who spent the morning debating whether to bench him for a waiver-wire flyer, the decision is made. Prop bettors looking at his receiving yards can also operate under the assumption that he is getting his normal target share.

We will see exactly how much volume the Rams dial up for him this afternoon. But if the pregame reports hold true, expect Nacua to be the focal point of an offense that is highly motivated to bounce back with a win.
