Puka Nacua is the pick over Ja'Marr Chase. He wins the canonical roster-value comparison outright: ranked 1st overall, higher modeled median (292.1 vs 264.9) and higher ceiling (345.7 vs 316.1). While Chase’s role-command is slightly higher (51.3% vs 49.2%), Nacua still has the superior overall scoring profile, plus a lower risk number (18 vs 23). Nacua’s playoff runway is also stronger (62 vs 54). Timing note: whether you acquire him early or mid-draft, his rank/ceiling edge holds.

Chase’s strongest path is converting role into top-end production; if his usage translates cleanly, his ceiling can dominate.
A newer structured status showing unrestricted participation or clearance would supersede this adjustment.
