Henry Ruggs (WR, LV) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: This is probably the last time I will be able to (reasonably) write about Henry Ruggs as a WW target. His rostership is already at a high 44% in Yahoo! leagues, and the only thing keeping that value from sky-rocketing this week is the upcoming bye for the Raiders. And with that, I'm going to give you some sound advice: go add Ruggs to your roster and stash him for a week; he's very well worth the wait.

After missing the last two games against New England and Buffalo, Ruggs went back to the field this past Sunday, and oh lord did he thrived. You're going to say: but hey, he was targeted just three times on back-to-back games, how can you trust that!? To which I will respond: Week 5, 3 targets, 2 receptions, 118 receiving yards, 1 TD. All in all, 19.8 PPR points and a WR12 finish pending MNF/TNF. That's all, no discussions to be held, because I don't care about them.

Check that line again, please: 2-118-1. That means Ruggs averaged a silly 59 yards per reception (LOL). That is unsustainable, I know, but Ruggs has played 42+ snaps in all three games he's been on the field, he's been targeted 3+ times in each of those matches, and has 177 yards in three games and 6 receptions (27.1 Y/R) to go with a score.

Outside of Darren Waller, the Raiders are slim at receiving options. It comes down to Renfrow, Agholor, and Ruggs. Of those, Ruggs has played the fewest snaps but he's also the only one to miss time and has the highest PPG average at 10.3 over Renfrow's 9.2 and Agholor's 9.3. He's a burner and a deep threat, and he's connected with QB Derek Carr so far. He's still a step away from becoming a must-add in every league, but you should definitely consider adding him to any 12+ Team league roster (especially non-PPR).
