Henry Ruggs III - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

On COVID list, won't play Thursday The Raiders placed Ruggs (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, ruling him out for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Ruggs has either tested positive for COVID-19 or come into close contact with someone who has. As a result, he'll log his second absence of his rookie season. With Ruggs on the pine, the Raiders will turn to Nelson Agholor, Hunter Renfrow, Bryan Edwards and Zay Jones at wide receiver.

Held to 18 receiving yards in loss Ruggs caught three passes on as many targets for 18 yards and returned one kickoff for 24 yards in Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Colts.

Impact Ruggs caught 100 percent of his targets for just the second time all season, but he averaged only 6.0 yards per catch Sunday after posting a 3-84-1 line in Week 13 against the Jets. Fellow pass catchers Darren Waller, Nelson Agholor and Hunter Renfrow combined to see 26 total targets thrown their way, but Ruggs should factor back into the mix on Thursday Night Football against the Chargers.

Atones for miscues with winning TD Ruggs caught three of four targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Jets.

Impact Ruggs had a ball bounce off his hands for an interception on Vegas' opening drive and lost a fumble in the fourth quarter, but those mistakes were overshadowed by the rookie speedster's game-winning 46-yard touchdown with five seconds to go. Left in single coverage with New York blitzing, Ruggs burned cornerback Lamar Jackson deep and hauled in an accurate pass from Derek Carr to keep the Raiders in the playoff hunt at 7-5. Ruggs' value is tied to his big-play ability, but showcasing those skills won't be as easy against the stingy Colts defense in Week 14.

Makes marvelous fourth-down catch Ruggs caught three of his five targets for 56 receiving yards during Sunday's 43-6 loss to the Falcons. He also recovered a fumble from teammate Keisean Nixon.

Impact Ruggs came down with an impressive 36-yard fourth-down reception over Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell on the final play of the first quarter, but he was unable to keep his feet in bounds and get the ball over the pylon. Las Vegas could not punch it in from Atlanta's three-yard line, ultimately settling for three points on the drive. Fantasy GMs invested in Ruggs have been constantly settling themselves, as the No. 12 overall draft choice has one touchdown on the season and just one outing of more than 55 receiving yards. If another breakout effort is coming, it may arrive Week 13 against the Jets. New York has allowed the third-most receiving yards (2,189) to opposing wideouts thus far this season.

Totals 17 yards on SNF Ruggs caught his only target for five yards and he also took one carry for 12 rushing yards in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Ruggs once again was outproduced by fellow pass-catchers Nelson Agholor and Darren Waller, who combined for 176 yards and two touchdowns on 13 receptions and 16 targets. Given his snap share consistently surpasses the 50-percent mark, it's disappointing to see Ruggs' lack of production continue on a night in which quarterback Derek Carr managed to throw for 275 yards and three touchdowns on 31 pass attempts. The rookie receiver will look to bounce back in Week 12 in a favorable matchup against the Falcons.

Drops deep pass Sunday Ruggs caught three of four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 37-12 win over the Broncos.

Impact Ruggs finished with more than two receptions for the first time since Week 1, but the rookie also dropped what could have been a long touchdown early in Sunday's contest before the Raiders got out to a big lead. Nonetheless, Ruggs led his position group in playing time with 45 offensive snaps. He'll now face a Chiefs secondary that allowed him to catch two passes for 118 yards and a touchdown back in Week 5.

Henry Ruggs III hasn't put up the stats, but Raiders would still take him first Denver's Jerry Jeudy may have outperformed Ruggs so far, but the Raiders still prefer the No. 12 pick's game-changing speed and ability.

Posts another dud Sunday Ruggs took his only carry for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Chargers, but he failed to catch any of his three targets.

Impact Ruggs has been silent as a receiver since the bye week with just four catches for 43 yards on 10 targets in three contests. Quarterback Derek Carr completed only 13 passes Sunday as the Raiders played with a lead for nearly the entirety of the second half, which didn't help Ruggs' case. Nonetheless, the rookie wideout played 39 of 50 offensive snaps and he figures to draw another start Week 10 against the Broncos.

Another quiet outing in Week 8 Ruggs secured two of his four targets for eight receiving yards during Sunday's 16-6 win against the Browns.

Impact The No. 12 overall pick from April's draft has been a boom-bust option in his five appearances this season, though the majority of his outings have landed on the bust end of the spectrum. Ruggs enjoyed a 118-yard, one-touchdown outing during the Raiders' Week 5 upset of the defending champion Chiefs, but he's averaged a mere two catches and 25.5 receiving yards over his other four appearances. Hamstring and knee injuries held the rookie out Weeks 3 and 4, but even when he has been active, the results have been inconsistent.

Quiet in lopsided loss Ruggs secured two of three targets for 35 yards in the Raiders' 45-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact The rookie speedster was contained by the Buccaneers' improving secondary save for a 29-yard grab, leading to his second-lowest yardage tally of the four games he's suited up for. Ruggs has now seen only three targets apiece in each of his last three contests, so he remains very big-play-dependent for his fantasy production. He'll look to up his production versus a vulnerable Browns secondary in Week 8.
