Drake London vs Puka Nacua

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Puka Nacua is the better fantasy play this season.

Puka Nacua is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 19.4 PPG and 1,820 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Drake London (14.0 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster Puka Nacua as the starter and Drake London as depth.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Puka Nacua (Los Angeles Rams) came in at 19.4 PPG over 16 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Puka Nacua carries a 5.4-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
