What happened: PFF's leaderboard tracking yards after the catch since the start of the 2025 campaign places Nacua second at 891 yards, Christian McCaffrey third at 865, Jahmyr Gibbs fourth at 830, and Khalil Shakir fifth at 765. Running backs account for three of the top four spots on the five-man list, with Nacua and Shakir representing the only wide receivers.

Why it matters: Open-field production after the catch has anchored the Falcons' offense around Robinson, who posted his third 200-yard primetime game in September. In Los Angeles, Nacua's yards-after-catch output underscores what the 2-4 Rams risk missing as they navigate a two-game losing streak following an 18-16 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 18.

By the numbers: Per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026), Robinson rushed 287 times for 1,478 yards and seven touchdowns across 17 games for the Falcons in 2025, while Gibbs logged 243 carries for 1,223 yards and 13 scores in 17 games for the Lions. Among the wideouts in 2025, Nacua caught 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games for the Rams, and Shakir totaled 72 receptions for 719 yards and four scores in 16 appearances for the Bills.

What to watch: Nacua is listed as questionable after sustaining a Thursday calf injury believed to be minor and not significant, while the 14th-seeded Rams weigh wide receiver options ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
