After a historic rookie season that made Puka Nacua a rising star in the NFL, he’s seen his dynasty value plummet after re-aggravating a knee injury in the opening week of the 2024 season that plagued him during the preseason. This injury that’s sending him to IR, along with his challenges he faced to stay healthy and on the field during his college career, has raised serious concerns about his durability. As a result, his potential for long-term success is under scrutiny.

Those who invested heavily in Nacua will need to reassess their strategies in light of this setback. Fantasy managers should look at Puka’s prior injury history and determine if they’re willing to accept the potential for him to be inconsistently available to their dynasty roster. If you’re looking for a cornerstone piece who will be available weekly, it’s worth exploring moving on from Puka for another player who’s in the top 25 of PlayerProfiler’s Dynasty Deluxe rankings.
