Overview

  • Through two games, Davante Adams and Puka Nacua have combined for 28 receptions, 423 yards and two touchdowns.
  • Analytics show Adams near the top in yards per route run against man coverage, while Nacua ranks highly versus zone.
  • A chart cited by analyst Wyatt Miller identifies the Rams as the lone team with one elite man beater and one elite zone beater.
  • Both receivers posted near-100-yard outings in Week 2 as Los Angeles continued to operate efficiently on offense.
  • Nacua says Sean McVay asked for his input before the offseason move for Adams after Cooper Kupp’s departure, and the duo’s rapid chemistry has coaches impressed.
