Last week, Puka Nacua emerged as a priority pick for fantasy football waivers. This prediction was modest at best. In reality, Nacua has evolved into a front-runner in the world of fantasy football, which puts him at the top of this year’s waiver-wire targets.

Nacua continued his winning streak in Sunday’s game, following his 10-catch debut in Week 1. He assembled an impressive haul of 15 catches from 20 targets, accumulating 147 yards. Anticipations are now high, with many comparing him to Robert Woods in the Los Angeles Rams’ offense. Nevertheless, it’s uncertain whether Nacua can consistently deliver more than 10 passes per week, particularly with Cooper Kupp in the equation.

Only three wide receivers have achieved 20 or more receptions over two games in the past thirty years, and only one, Odell Beckham, has managed to catch more than 21 passes over the same period. Going forward, Nacua will likely be the prime waiver-wire target for most fantasy footballers. Meanwhile, Kyren Williams is yet another name to look out for amidst last week’s waiver-wire targets.

Week 3’s top waiver-wire targets lined up as Matt Breida from the New York Giants, Rams’ Tutu Atwell, Zack Moss from the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans’ Nathaniel Dell, and Josh Reynolds from the Detroit Lions.

As far as injuries are concerned, Giants running back Saquon Barkley, Colt’s QB Anthony Richardson, Lions’ running back David Montgomery, Raiders’ wide receiver Davante Adams were some of the players who suffered significant injuries. Their statuses will likely impact the waiver-wire targets and strategic decisions fantasy footballers will have to make.

Once again, Puka Nacua seems to be the primary lookout for the waiver-wire target. His performance and record-breaking numbers presented a great example for potential prospects and a reminder for fantasy footballers to place their bets wisely.
