Puka Nacua expected to play Week 9 vs. Packers

Puka Nacua (knee) is expected to suit up and play against the Packers in Week 9 as reported by ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact: Nacua has been a huge part of the success of his fantasy managers so far this season and will have the chance to continue his storybook season as he should be able to take the field despite nursing a knee ailment throughout the week. Still, with all the questions surrounding QB Matthew Stafford’s availability for Week 9 combined with Puka’s knee, and throwing in the target vacuum of Cooper Kupp you have a recipe for a volatile fantasy day. As hard as it may be, if Stafford is a no-go on Sunday (as is expected), it may be prudent to look for other options. Managers should, at a minimum, have an option ready until the official word on Nacua’s game status comes out around 90 minutes before the 1pm kickoff.
