The Los Angeles Rams have Super Bowl aspirations ahead of the 2026 season, and the talented wide receiver duo of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are no small part of the reason why.So it’s no surprise that when Pro Football Focus ranked receivers in the NFL, both finished in the top 25.Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (12) and Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (17) celebrate after a touchdown during the first quarter against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Nov 9, 2025.One member of that dynamic duo, though, did better than just getting a mention on the list. He came in the top spot.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDespite a tumultuous offseason, Nacua came in No. 1 overall in PFF’s ranking, as detailed by Dalton Wasserman and Max Chadwick.“The Rams star leads the NFL with 3.19 yards per route run since entering the league and earned a position-leading 96.1 PFF grade in 2025,” Wasserman and Chadwick explained.Jan 25, 2026; Seattle, WA, USA; Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (12) scores a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks during the second half in the 2026 NFC Championship Game at Lumen Field.
