  "account": "The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is trending towards not playing in Monday Night Football due to hip soreness, separate from his preseason psoas issue. This development has fantasy football managers and owners considering a scenario where Nacua is inactive. Adam Schefter reported on The Pat McAfee Show that Nacua is trending against playing, emphasizing the need to prepare for this possibility. The Rams have few options to replace Nacua, including Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Colby Parkinson, and Terrence Ferguson. If Nacua plays, his limited mobility due to hip soreness could affect his performance. Regardless of what happens, Davante Adams is expected to have a significant role in Week 2 fantasy football with a projected 10.6 targets, 6.9 receptions, 89 yards, and 0.9 touchdowns.",
  "summary": "Puka Nacua is unlikely to suit up for Monday Night Football against the Giants, which could give Davante Adams a huge game.",
