As the turf at Lucas Oil Stadium was churning out points, and the Colts faithful were screaming for a comeback that not even Peyton Manning could have matched, something became clear: The Rams have a pair of young players who could emerge as fantasy league winners.
Rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua was scintillating, catching nine of 10 targets for 163 yards and theright down the middle of the field. That TD quieted the crowd and lit up a Rams celebration that would last all the way on the flight back to Los Angeles. Through the early games, Nacua was the WR4 with 26.80 points.
After Week 1, Puka Nacua became the player upon whom so many fantasy managers emptied their FAB or used up their waiver-wire priority, looking at the 10 catches for 119 yards in his NFL debut as the start of something big. The rookie more than filled the shoes of the injured Cooper Kupp, and aggressive fantasy managers were rewarded with 15 receptions for 147 yards and 22.60 fantasy points in Week 2. That was good for WR5.
With a young Rams defense giving up some points, there should be plenty of passes to go around this season. The comeback became viable later at the two-minute warning when Richardson found Andrew Ogletree on third-and-goal from the five-yard line for the score. For good measure, Pittman caught the two-point conversion to tie the game.
