The Los Angeles Rams are in a great fantasy and DFS spot in Week 15 against the Washington Commanders, which means there are plenty making the choice of Puka Nacua or Cooper Kupp.
Matthew Stafford’s two favorite receivers get a favorable matchup against the Washington secondary. Stacking both receivers is an option, but if you’re trying to choose between one of the other, our free NFL Player Compare Tool is the best place to start.
At time of publish, the Rams ranked as the second team in our Top Stacks Tool and Puka Nacua or Cooper Kupp is in the top five most popular searches in Player Compare. The Rams are also popular in our Lineup Generator simulations.
Let’s see who has the edge.
Puka Nacua or Cooper Kupp | Week 15 Fantasy & DFS AdviceÂ
Nacua’s targets have been more consistent, registering at least seven looks in every game this season. But Kupp’s ticking up since leaving early against the Seahawks five weeks ago. Since that one-catch game, Kupp has seen 5, 8 and 10 targets respectively.
Kupp is coming off his best game since October, with eight catches for 115 yards and a touchdown. But it’s Nacua who is more popular this week.
The edge goes to Kupp in a one-on-one comparison. Kupp is projected for more points but less ownership. Even at $500 more in salary, the leverage favors Kupp.
This is largely based off the optimal percentage compared to ownership. Kupp computes to be in optimal lineups 16.7% of the time but is only getting 12.8% ownership. Compare that to Nacua, who is optimal 16.2% of the time but getting 17.2% ownership.
These decisions aren’t always made one-on-one, though. Our Player Compare Tool allows you you compare two vs. two as well. When looking for last-minute advice, this is an ideal place to start.
And when you’re ready to level up, Lineup Generator is great for customizing lineups in seconds without needing an optimizer.
