Here are a few considerations for how much FAAB to spend on Puka Nacua:
- Puka just got traded to the Browns and will join an offense with plenty of targets up for grabs. As long as he can earn playing time, his upside is considerable.
- However, the Browns passing game is still a question mark with Deshaun Watson's playing status unclear. There is uncertainty around how the targets will be distributed.
- Puka has big play ability but is still unproven as an NFL receiver. He carries risk as someone who may not pan out.
- As a waiver wire add, he likely won't cost an exorbitant amount of FAAB. But given the risk, biding more than 20-25% of your budget may be too much this early.
- If you have space left on your bench, Puka could pay off as a lottery ticket. But make sure to prioritize safer players who can help your lineup right away too.
Overall, somewhere between 10-20% of your FAAB budget seems reasonable to acquire Puka's upside without breaking the bank. Monitor reports on his role in practice this week.
