Puka Nacua is having one of the most impressive starts to a season in some time. The third-year receiver is leading the NFL with 588 yards, 52 receptions, 62 targets, 31 first downs and 117.6 yards per game.
As a result, the Rams are 3-2 with victories over the Texans, Titans and Colts. They lost two close games to the Eagles and 49ers. This week should be another easy matchup as they face off against the Ravens.
Baltimore will likely be without Lamar Jackson again, and its defense has been porous thus far, too. It’s why the Ravens, a regular Super Bowl contender, are 1-4.
Los Angeles is a 7.5-point favorite and -380 on the moneyline, while Baltimore is +300 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The points total is set at 44.5.
Here are my top Nacua prop bets for Sunday’s game between the Rams and Ravens.

After playing just 11 games in 2024, Nacua is off to a historic pace in 2025. The 24-year-old is on pace to record 1,999.2 yards this season, which would break Calvin Johnson’s single-season record by about 30 yards.
No player has ever finished with more than 2,000 receiving yards in a season, so Nacua could become the first if he slightly increases his output. Still, it’s early in the season. Injuries and dips in production are always possible.
The latter shouldn’t happen this week at least. Baltimore allows the most points and second most yards to opposing teams. These rankings are the same for its pass defense. Meanwhile, Los Angeles features a pass-heavy offense, ranking second in yards and touchdowns, and fourth in attempts.
Matthew Stafford will pepper Nacua all game, and the third-year wideout will rack up more and more receiving yards to his already impressive total through five games. His 97.5 receiving yards line is high, but it’s justified.
The one concern is that the Rams get out to such a big lead that they milk the clock with the run. It’s possible, but that lead likely won’t exist without Nacua making his mark.
