ANALYSISNacua is the only returning regular starter at wide receiver, with
Cooper Kupp (Seahawks) and
Demarcus Robinson (49ers) now playing for NFC West rivals.
Tutu Atwell and
Jordan Whittington are set to compete for the No. 3 job, which probably won't entail a ton of targets when both Nacua and Adams are healthy. Playing alongside Adams instead of Kupp will make it even harder for Nacua to approach last year's unsustainable, league-high 39.1 percent target rate, but he can potentially make up for a reduced share by playing more snaps (he took 487 in 11 regular-season games last year) and scoring more TDs (three).
