Puka Nacua vs. Giants — Monday Night Game-Time Decision Looms

Nacua enters Monday night against the Giants listed as questionable after missing practice with hip and groin soreness. While reports indicate he will be a pre-game decision, head coach Sean McVay confirmed his status is genuinely in doubt. Starting opposite Davante Adams, Nacua remains a primary target in the Rams' passing game after drawing nine targets in the opener.

Because Los Angeles plays on Monday, managers need a backup plan ready. When on the field, our projections expect him to deliver around seven receptions for 91 yards and 19.6 fantasy points. Nacua is an elite start if active, but fantasy managers must monitor pre-game news closely before kickoff.

Malik Washington at San Francisco — Trailing Game Script May Spur Target Volume

Washington operates as Miami's primary slot receiver and showed immediate involvement in Week 1, drawing eight targets for three catches and 53 yards. With fellow wideout Jalen Tolbert inactive and Miami entering as heavy road underdogs against San Francisco, the offense will likely be forced into a pass-heavy script.

Our projections peg him for around 3 receptions and 34 receiving yards (8.2 fantasy points), making him an intriguing deep-league play. While his modest 17% roster rate reflects some hesitancy in this passing attack, his volume out of the slot offers sneaky PPR upside.
