But he did dominate for the Rams from a volume standpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Matthew Stafford completed just 15 passes for 130 yards last week vs. Seattle. Nacua had seven receptions for 75 yards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No one else on the Rams had more than two catches or 23 yards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Bet on Puka Nacua and more Buccaneers vs. Rams prop markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After sustaining an injury in Week 6, Nacua&#8217;s usage has definitely declined. But he was so far above the rest of the Rams&#8217; offensive weapons last week \u2014 in a daunting matchup \u2014 that I think we could see him return to something that more closely resembles his early-season output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L.A. force-fed Nacua in Weeks 1-5 and the results were superb:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>12.4 targets\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10.4 catches\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>117.6 yards\/game<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Nacua has zero drops this year and has been targeted on a league-high 36.1% of his routes, per Rotowire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not all swing passes and short slants, though. He&#8217;s also averaging 84.3 air yards per game (86th percentile).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bucs have allows the sixth-most receiving yards per game this season. This should be a good spot for Nacua and L.A.&#8217;s air attack to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Excluding the game he left early due to injury, Nacua has 90+ receiving yards in five of eight matchups this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:121447\">Embed: #121447<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\"><strong>Place your NFL wagers now at NorthStar Bets<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SNF ATS prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Egbuka under 71.5 receiving yards (-113):<\/strong> Egbuka&#8217;s excellent rookie season has him in odds-on position to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few boom weeks earlier in the season, though, his overall production has slowed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>First five games:<\/strong> 25 catches, 445 yards, 5 TDs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Past five games:<\/strong> 20 catches, 272 yards, 1 TD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Egbuka has gone under 71.5 receiving yards in four of his past five games, averaging 54.4 yards in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out \u2014 Bet on Sunday Night Football<\/strong><\/a><strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The likely return of Godwin, who hasn&#8217;t played since Week 5, isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing for Egbuka.
