Rams WR Puka Nacua snagged 15 catches for 147 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. That gives the rookie 25 receptions through his first two games, a new NFL record. Nacua drew a whopping 20 targets in the game, doubling his nearest teammate and accounting for 36.4% of Matthew Stafford's 55 pass attempts. RB Kyren Williams ranked second, catching six of 10 targets for 48 yards and a TD. WR Tutu Atwell ranked third with 9 targets. He snagged 7 catches for 77 yards. Nacua now stands as a must-start at least until Cooper Kupp returns. We'll see how the WR corps changes at that point.
With Rams star receiver Cooper Kupp sidelined, the 49ers took notice of how Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua stepped up with 100-yard receiving games and prepare for the rivalry game in L.A.
Expectations for the Rams weren't particularly high heading into the 2023 season and they slipped a little lower when wide receiver Cooper Kupp was placed on injured reserve this week, but the team defied those expectations in Seattle on Sunday.
