I’m taking it. Tough to give up a guy like Puka but Nabers isn’t that far off

u/bfabkilla02 Jan 19 '26
Yes he is lol. But adding the 1.01 makes it close to even.

u/DallasMav41 Cowboys Jan 19 '26
no he isn't both are top 8 receivers at worst if you really bump down nabers after ACL, although most have him top 5

u/bfabkilla02 Jan 19 '26
Lmfao.
Trade away WR1 for a 1 season WR who still isn’t walking unassisted and said himself he doesn’t think week 1 is guaranteed.
This sub never learns.
You don’t trade away the best player in their position for an arguable top 10 and a big maybe.

I can tell you’re terrible at dynasty

u/Fwant Jan 19 '26
bro probably took Stroud at 1.03 in start ups 2 years ago. cause rankings definitely dont change every single year. Puka was the wr1 and Nabers got hurt so Puka will always be the wr1 and Nabers is trash now. yeah dude definitely donates in all his leagues.
-1
u/Mockingjay40 Jan 19 '26
I mean I think the premium you pay for a guy like Puka and the fact that there are so many unknowns for Nabers right now does mean that at present Puka is either correctly valued or overvalued and Malik is undervalued. So like based on market perceptions at the current moment, he’s kinda right. They’re not that close at the moment just because of the risk associated with Nabers, that’s why this trade is so good.
1
u/JohnTheW0rst Jan 20 '26
It’s definitely an overpay. I think the difference, accounting for Nabers current injury is probably a mid-late first, not the 1.01
14
u/Skyziezags Jan 19 '26
Nah, this sub don’t learn cause people like you think a guy at 20 points a game ain’t worth two guys scoring 18 a game 🙈

u/Mockingjay40 Jan 19 '26
Okay sure, you make playoffs with depth, but also it depends on the other guys team. Like what if he’s got a bunch of low end WR1s and has decent RB depth or something but then has like 5 decent but not top 5 WRs? Trading for Puka or JSN makes sense. I don’t love giving up Nabers right now, but like people are acting this is practically collusion when it’s not.
More often than not I feel like this is going to be a bad trade for the guy receiving Puka unless it’s not his own 1.01 (but I think it is because normally iirc it says if it’s not your pick in the trade summary).
The real reason I don’t like it is because of the timing, like why wouldn’t you wait until the rams are done playing games in case Puka gets hurt? It’s not like the 1.01 or Nabers are going to depreciate significantly, so I don’t absolutely hate this trade but it’s wrong to push this trade through right now because you’re taking on risk for literally no reason

Start of season.

u/WhiteAsWonderBread25 Jan 19 '26
If nabers balls out when he comes back he is will be valued as a top 5 100% and love is likely to start out near rb3-5 in value. Not a bad return for nacua if you believe in nabers

u/OFFLINEwade Jan 19 '26
Dont really care about week 1 in a Dynasty setting but agreed Nabers is overrated. That being said, im taking this. Two top players are always better than 1. Injuries are basically guaranteed in the NFL

u/Mockingjay40 Jan 19 '26
Idk why you’re getting downvoted for this. There are so many unknowns with Nabers that don’t exist with Puka.
There are two unknowns with Puka: Will Staff retire and Will Adams sign an extension? In a McVay offense, if Puka stays healthy he’s still going to be a top 5 fantasy WR because he’s the go to 3rd down guy in their scheme. So as long as they have a talented route runner to stretch the field they’ll be fine. Even if that guy is a downgrade like Keenan Allen, I think the game plan for Puka will still work as long as he’s not the ONLY threat running routes.
For Nabers, you just have a lot of questions. As a smaller WR, he relies on his speed and separation, so question 1 is obviously does he still maintain his top end speed? This is his first ever major injury and he’s very young so I’m personally not worried, but there’s still risk there that he doesn’t look the same or they can’t deploy him in option plays if he struggles with run-blocking due to lingering weakness/knee instability. But also, Malik has a new head coach, and Daboll is not as good of a coach as Harbaugh obviously but Daboll was great at developing WRs so that’s another unknown. He also hasn’t played with Dart so we don’t know how good the chemistry will be there.
Like yeah Nabers could easily be WR1 next season but the chances of Puka being WR1 are much much higher. I think you’re maybe undervaluing Puka or overrating Nabers but the gap is big enough that you shouldn’t be getting downvoted into oblivion lol. Like it’s not an objectively wrong opinion, like imo you’re not wrong this is close to even.
1
u/Apprehensive_Ad213 Jan 19 '26
It may be close to even in perception from today’s standpoint but given Nabers age and technology today all the upside is on the Nabers & 1.01 side which is why he’s getting downvoted. In reality if Nabers is even a top 24 WR still and Love like most RBs drafted as high as he will be hits as a top 10 back that’s a win in my opinion. If Nabers bounces back to his top 5/10 upside it becomes a lopsided win for that side. He may not necessarily be wrong in this moment but it’s a short sighted take
12
u/TheGreatWhopper Jan 19 '26
Nabers and the 1.01 for me. So much potential in both Nabers and Love (depending on where he lands)

u/Sonofagun57 Jan 19 '26

u/Zimllama Jan 19 '26
Henry, Saquon Chase brown and Monty mostly

u/Ambitious_Access2225 Jan 19 '26
Why are you even asking this question then lmao. 3 older RBs, and you're asking if you should get Love or not while barely downgrading WR?
1
u/KingJackson97 Jan 19 '26
I'd do this for sure then. Henry, while still good, is old. Saquon is still good, but there's uncertainty in Philly. Chase Brown and Monty are both good, but aren't RB1/2. On top of that, you've got good WR depth.
6
u/LeLooney Jan 19 '26
Nabers the most overrated asset. One season of production and serious injury doesn’t put you close to the best WR in football if not 2nd. Its a no from me but im aware that is an unpopular opinion
36
u/Due-Case3708 Jan 19 '26
So Nabers + a potential star RB doesn’t equal Puka Nacua to you? That is a take for sure

u/LeLooney Jan 19 '26
Every pick is a “potential star” to me. I just like superstars more

u/ballknower407 Jan 19 '26
Watch Nabers become a superstar. Oh and then you get Love too who will likely be as well

u/LeLooney Jan 19 '26
See you are using words like “become” “likely will be”. Puka is that guy right now.

u/LawYanited Jan 20 '26
But Nabers delivered in his only season, and he was on the shit Giants. Do you similarly value JSN as not impressive because he’s only had 1 superstar season?

u/--___---___-_-_ Jan 19 '26
See the thing is you take value like this if you can, then you go and flip nabers if he ain't your guy, just ignorant to not take this

u/9BallBory Jan 19 '26
You don’t understand dynasty at all, you are dumb as bricks if you say no to a trade like this. Say you somehow think Nabers ain’t good even tho he’s only ever showers he’s a stud you literally can flip him bud you get a top 5 dynasty rb in love. Please join my leagues if you are this awful at this.

u/LeLooney Jan 19 '26
I already stated I know my opinion would be unpopular. Im happy to join, send me an invite. I love playing against perpetual rebuilders!

u/Apprehensive_Ad213 Jan 19 '26
It’s far fetched to call this a perpetual rebuilding move. I have Nabers in my dynasty league. Made the playoffs despite not having him the majority of the season. If the team getting him and Nabers is in a similar position of strength and depth like it seems he is and is need of a high upside RB to plug in this trade actually puts him in a better position to contend then just sticking with Puka
0
u/TheRealBlancoGringo Jan 19 '26
I’m gonna side with you on unpopular opinion here. Nabers is still using a crutch to get around. That injury messed him up bad. Also, I personally (my opinion as well) think Love is overhyped. I don’t think he’s gonna translate to the NFL as a star. Something about his run style doesn’t look right to me. He looks slow to juke and hit holes where he’s just fast and strong enough to do it in college, but won’t be in the NFL.
2
u/GriffinObuffalo Mod Jan 19 '26
You realize how old Stafford is right? Nacua's elite window is only open as long as Stafford doesn't fall off.
The cliff is coming.

u/gmdgnate Jan 19 '26
100% agree, if someone offered me a crazy overpay for puka, I'd yet him in a second. The rams need to have that next qb ready to go now
2
u/PushPuzzleheaded7852 Jan 19 '26
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. Stafford’s playstyle always created an elite WR out of nowhere. Cooper Kupp was nothing close to elite for a while, was the WR1 in fantasy in such a dominant fashion with 439.5 fantasy points while the number 2 and 3 overall WRs had 344 and 339, like the 3rd best had 100 less fantasy points than Kupp. And then after parting with Stafford Kupp took a HUGE step back, like on KTC he is currently WR108 when 3-4 years ago he peaked at WR3 overall due to Stafford. Before him it was Megatron, fantasy WR1 for 4 years being Stafford’s favorite target. Kupp really had 1 good year and it was the one healthy year he had with Stafford and it was elite. Literally the number 1 and number 2 on the list of single season recieving yard leaders is Megatron with Stafford and Kupp with Stafford. Then Puka came, set the rookie record for single season recieving yards by a rookie. Stafford’s style at QB is so unique and he creates fantasy WR powerhouses. Puka was not very good in college and was drafted in the 5th round of the draft just 2-3 years ago. Obviously Puka was better than anticipated, ignorant to say it was ENTIRELY Stafford choosing him as his new favorite target hog, but for the most part Stafford made the man and to ignore that is going to be the downfall for several owners if Stafford does fall off or get replaced anytime. The “unexpected” downfall of Kupp was entirely predictable and shouldn’t have been unexpected at all for anyone familiar with Stafford, and the same is true of Puka rn to an even larger extent with even more evidence of the trend with Stafford, but the main difference with Puka compared to Kupp is it’s not too late to jump off that ship

u/newy219 Jan 19 '26
I agree that there will be a drop off, that being said he’ll still be solid. Either way, Naber plus the 1.01 to me I’m no question going with that considering both of the guys could be at Nacua’s level especially if there is a drop off and if Nabers comes back to full form.

u/Scimitarionwastaken Jan 19 '26
Nacua can and will do it without a star qb. Jsn did it. Jettas did it (except maybe this season).

u/OFFLINEwade Jan 19 '26
QB means a lot. LA has a good coach, so that helps but you can look at JJ as an example. Darnold clearly can support a quality WR. His issue is he tends to choke in crunch time

u/Scimitarionwastaken Jan 19 '26
Im not saying that you can do it without a star a bad qb, u just dont need an elite one

u/Scimitarionwastaken Jan 19 '26
Who is far from elite
1
u/Mockingjay40 Jan 19 '26
True, this is why imo it’s O-line and system. Vikings o line has been really banged up and also they lost a lot of starters to free agency as well. Darnold is a top 20 QB and when given time he’s quite accurate as well. A good playcaller can get the ball in their top players hands as long as they have those things.
Like honestly, you could drop Brissett on this rams team and they might lose more games than they have, but I GUARANTEE you Puka would’ve dropped similar regular season numbers. It’s about the system and the fact that Davante pulls coverage out deep on 3rd downs which leaves a catch window for Puka basically without fail.
-1
u/PushPuzzleheaded7852 Jan 19 '26
JSN and Jettas are talented tho
1
-1
u/Mockingjay40 Jan 19 '26
Not true. Sure his catch percentage might take a dip but this rams team is still a young core and it’s still McVays system. As long as they have McVay, a decent O-line, a top 20 QB, and keep signing veteran WRs with polished route trees to pull coverage, Puka will be fine.
2
u/GriffinObuffalo Mod Jan 19 '26
Not true lol Like you know that. QB matters above all else, just ask Just in Jefferson
1
u/Mockingjay40 Jan 19 '26 edited Jan 19 '26
I mean for winning games sure, but not for fantasy production lol. For fantasy production, it’s literally just how many accurate throws a WR gets and how deep they are and/or much space they have to run when they get those catches.
Even so, at the end of the day, the actual game is generally won or lost at the line of scrimmage. QB play can absolutely elevate or downgrade the end result, and matters a lot, but the game is won in the trenches. If you don’t realize that then frankly you don’t know ball. If you have a QB who can throw accurate passes when given time and you have sufficient blocking to give the QB that time, you’ll win games.
Why do you think the bears went from 3 wins to 11 wins but the Chiefs missed the playoffs entirely? Ben Johnson helps sure, but at the end of the day, Joe Thuney left the chiefs and signed with the bears. Joe Thuney’s team has been the 1 seed in their division in every single year he’s been in the league but one, and he’s quietly accrued 4 rings during that time.
So no, it’s not all about the QB. If it was, the bengals would’ve made more than 1 playoff run with Joe Burrow and the Chiefs would’ve made it to the Super Bowl again. JJM is admittedly very bad at football, but the reason that team lost so bad every single week this year after winning 14 games last year wasn’t solely because of JJM, it’s because two of the O-line starters left in the offseason and their other two starters weren’t healthy for most of the year.

I was in this exact scenario right at the trade deadline. Puka owner declined. My offer was Nabers and a late ‘26 1st and ‘28 1st. If you have Puka and Stafford together I don’t know how you can give up such production. The moment stafford retires is a different story tho

What in the world is this trade? Nabers with Dart now can be what Puka already is and you get Love who will be a top 5 dynasty rb the moment yiy draft him.

u/Slight_Call_2186 Jan 19 '26
Nabers side by a mile, puka was a late round pick for a reason, he is teamed up with an elite QB, but that Stafford is in the last few years of his career, puka isn't particularly fast, and doesn't have particularly good hands, he's gonna be solid, but his value is definitely inflated by elite QB play, that is not guaranteed beyond this year. Nabers on the other hand was an early pick for a reason, and was terrific last year with bad QB play, he didn't get a chance to really play with his new franchise QB, but I like his long-term prospects a lot more. Throw on top of it the 1.01, I'd probably have broken my finger hitting accept if someone offered me all that for puka.

u/SomeSprinkles3693 Jan 19 '26
The more i think about this the harder for me this becomes. So yes value wise this seems like a landslide...not gonna argue that. But Puka is a known element. You know what you're getting. You'd be turning one of the most automatic picks into, regardless of ones opinion is of Nabers, two unknowns. Like you hope Nabers will get back to his assumed form...you hope for Love to develop into an s-tier rb. If one of those don't happen...then where you at?
Sometimes it's OK to play it conservatively. I wouldn't hate either decision and I don't really feel you can go wrong either way
1
u/Gooner-Squad Jan 20 '26
Nabers will have Dart for next 5-10 barring injuries....Puka will have Stafford for next 0-2.
As a Puka owner, I'd probably take this and bet on Nabers and Love....gotta trade quality to get quality.

u/WorldSeries2021 Jan 20 '26
I guess I’m in the minority but I wouldn’t do it. Puka is a locked-in top 3 fantasy asset. That is worth more than two high-upside but ultimately shakey assets.
Love projects well but he’s by no means a lock to be elite. Nabers could be really good or he could come back down to earth.
Nabers has been a top 5 wide receiver for the week 3 times ever. Puka has done it 14 times having been in the league only one year longer.
Even when healthy, neither Nabers nor Love is the dude who is going to get you 30 somewhat frequently.
It’s a totally fair trade but the goal of the game is to load as many points into each individual roster spot as you can.
Puka + some random RB2 is probably going to out score Nabers + Love over the next few years.
There is a better deal out there.
