Edge 1: WR Gold Override — Puka Nacua at 49ers

Category: Fantasy Football Edge Analysis; Date: 11/06/2025

Info Box

In short: this Edge says Puka Nacua is a strong Week 10 start if he practices fully Friday and maintains his high route share in a top‑total game. The framework makes the decision measurable and auditable, with fallback scenarios if his usage or health dips.

Data summary: Nacua practiced fully Thursday and is “looking good” for Week 10 per team and beat reports, with Rams–49ers lined around 49.5, a top‑tier total that lifts WR ceilings.[DATA_NEEDED]: Routes% Week 9 and last 3 weeks; obtain via FantasyLife Utilization Game Log/Season Stats.
Confidence band: High — FP Friday plus gold routes history and a top game total justify an assertive start in 12‑team PPR.[DATA_NEEDED]: RZ looks, aDOT, AYPRR; obtain via your charting or trusted analytics provider to populate visuals and targets.

✅ Action Guidance

Do This:

  • Start Nacua in 12‑team PPR if he logs a full practice Friday and routes ≥70% (gold) with ≥2 red zone looks by Friday 4 pm local.
  • If not, pivot to Rankings Sunday AM (i.e., downgrade him depending on late practice/injury news).

Scenarios:

Base: routes 70–75%; 8–10 targets; 2–3 RZ looks; AYPRR 1.0–1.2 in a ~49.5 total.

Optimistic: routes ≥75%; ≥3 RZ looks; AYPRR ≥1.2 with total stable in top tier.

Pessimistic: LP/DNP Friday; routes <65%; <6 targets; downgrade if total drops materially.

Interpretation & Next Steps

This Edge outlines when and why the player is a recommended start/sit based on practice status, usage metrics, and game context.


[DATA_NEEDED] markers show where specific stats (routes %, targets, red‑zone looks, aDOT, AYPRR, etc.) should be filled in from trusted sources like FantasyLife, Sumersports, or your own charting.


If you have the data: plug it in to confirm the base/optimistic/pessimistic scenarios.


If you don’t yet: wait for Friday practice reports and update Sunday morning if needed.


Action step: follow the “Do This” guidance once the key thresholds are confirmed (e.g., full practice Friday, ≥70% routes, ≥2 red‑zone looks).

👉 In short: treat [DATA_NEEDED] as a reminder to verify usage stats, then apply the scenario guidance to make a confident, auditable lineup decision.

👉 Heads‑up: Checking back on Friday PM will reveal the key thresholds (practice status, route share, red‑zone looks) that determine whether this Edge is a confident start or needs to be re‑tiered.
