Justin Jefferson and Tyreek Hill have put up predictably gaudy numbers early in the 2023 NFL regular season, but arguably the biggest surprise of the year so far has been the emergence of Los Angeles Rams rookie Puka Nacua.
A fifth-round draft pick from BYU, Nacua’s 30 receptions are the second-most in the league behind only Keenan Allen, and he’s been targeted more than any receiver in the NFL through three games.
Hill leads all receivers with four touchdown receptions, and with the Dolphins averaging an incredible 43.3 points per game, the Dolphins star could be in great position to surpass his single-season career high of 15 TDs.
