An unheralded fifth-round draft pick, Nacua went from roughly zero percent ownership in fantasy leagues to 100 following the first two games of 2023 during which he caught 25 passes for 266 yards. While he clearly couldn't maintain such a monstrous pace, he still finished with 105 receptions, 1,486 yards, and six touchdowns -- good enough to finish in the top-10 in both catches and yards. Most years that'd be sufficient to capture the NFL Rookie of the Year award, but Nacua had to settle for second behind Texans QB C.J. Stroud.
There'll be no surprises with Nacua in Year 2, but there's no reason to doubt his performance as he functioned as the No.1 target for much of the season while Kupp battled injuries. The BYU alum has shown he can get open, work underneath or downfield, and make contested catches with regularity. If he can up his game in the red zone, Nacua could push toward the top of the receiver rankings. Even now, he belongs in the top 10 of fantasy wideouts.
