Latest takes

CeeDee Lamb
  • It was a really disappointing 2025 for CeeDee Lamb, posting the second-lowest numbers of his career in targets (117), receptions (75) and receiving yards (1,077), with only his rookie season in 2020 worse. He also had a career-low three touchdowns, with the newly arrived George Pickens recording a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb's 18.6%.

    Tom Strachan· Jun 25
  • CeeDee Lamb posted his fifth straight 1,000-yard season.

  • The newly arrived George Pickens recorded a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb's 18.6%, which was also behind Jake Ferguson, who led the team with 23.1%. Contrast this to 2024, when Lamb had a 27.7% red-zone target share and led the team by 10%.

    Tom Strachan· Jun 17
  • CeeDee Lamb was framed as one of the safest high-end fantasy receivers because of his ability to consistently function as the centerpiece of an offense. Even when offensive conditions fluctuate, receivers who dominate targets maintain elite fantasy floors. There was little concern expressed about talent or role, with the conversation focused on how dependable his fantasy profile remains compared to many receivers drafted around him.

Puka Nacua
  • A potential Puka Nacua Rams extension is covered in this week's mailbag.

    Adam La Rose· Jun 28
  • Even while the Rams shift offensive philosophy and use more heavy sets with multiple tight ends, Nacua continues to eat. It's rare to see a player of Nacua's caliber receive such small compensation, with his cap hit for 2026 at $1,204,244 compared to Justin Jefferson's $38,987,600.

  • Stafford is throwing to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, so it is not shocking that he was so efficient last season. But we have also seen him be less efficient in this system in the very recent past.

  • Puka Nacua proved to be an elite high-volume target, leading the NFL with 129 receptions and averaging 107.2 yards per game while earning first-team All-Pro honors.

  • Nacua is coming off a career-high 10 receiving touchdowns, which, until 2025, had been the only area of his game that lacked. Perhaps with an improving defense, the Rams don't go quite as pass-heavy this year, but Sean McVay has nearly always been aggressive, and Nacua deserves to be a top-five pick while Matthew Stafford is healthy.

    Tom Strachan· Jun 17
  • Off the field, Puka Nacua hasn't had a great offseason, and the Rams seem slightly hesitant to extend him, with reports suggesting that's not in their immediate plans, despite Nacua being extension-eligible and watching Jaxon Smith-Njigba reset the market. This sets Nacua up for what should be a massive prove-it year, both on and off the field.

    Tom Strachan· Jun 17
  • Most of the players from the last few rounds of your draft won't be on your roster at the end unless you hit on a 2023 Puka Nacua or 2025 Alec Pierce or another similar breakout story.

    Ryan Kirksey· Jun 17
  • With his declining ability and playing alongside Puka Nacua, he's not going to rack up targets like a usual fantasy WR1.

    Ted Chmyz· Jun 11
  • L.A. also has Turner, Byron Young, Puka Nacua, Steve Avila, Warren McClendon.

    Sam Robinson· Jun 11
  • A record-setting extension for the Rams wide receiver is seen as a foregone conclusion, though Nacua's off-field decision-making could factor into the terms of his potential future extension and the Rams may decide there's something they need to see from Nacua before they can feel comfortable signing him long-term.

    Ely Allen· Jun 7
  • With a league-leading average of 107.2 yards per game, the only thing that prevented him from leading in catches and yards was that one missed game.

    Ely Allen· Jun 7
  • Even with one missed game last year, Nacua delivered on that momentum, setting new career highs with 129 receptions (most in the NFL), 1,715 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns.

    Ely Allen· Jun 7
  • Though a five-game absence early into Year 2 limited him to only 11 games, Nacua's per game averages had him on track for career highs in receptions and receiving yards.

    Ely Allen· Jun 7
  • Despite being the 20th wide receiver taken in the 2023 NFL Draft as the last pick of the fifth round, Nacua was the only one to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie, blowing past that mark with 1,486, the fourth-highest total in the league that year.

    Ely Allen· Jun 7
  • Think about Puka Nacua's breakout season. He didn't get drafted until August, late, and then won people millions of dollars.
