Predicting Rams Breakout Receivers with Puka Nacua (Likely) Out for Jaguars Game?

With Puka Nacua likely out for Week 7 against the Jaguars, Davante Adams stands to benefit the most. Through six weeks, Adams leads the team in routes (203) and has 55 targets, 26 catches, 396 yards, and 3 TDs. Nacua’s 65 targets and 616 yards will mostly get redistributed to Adams, but this doesn't take into consideration the gravity Nacua brings in the slot. Which means other players will have to fill that void.  Tyler Higbee could get more short/intermediate looks, Tutu Atwell has big-play potential, and Jordan Whittington could help on third downs. Terrance Ferguson, who hasn’t had a full slate of snaps yet, might finally get a meaningful role—could this be his breakout week? Kyren Williams has also seen a boost in work from the slot.
