Henry Ruggs III Fantasy

Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III faces years behind bars. The 23-year-old was released by Vegas last season after crashing his Corvette into another vehicle operated by a young woman, killing her. However, Ruggs' lawyers are now arguing that since he was injured and didn't perform a field sobriety test at the accident scene, there wasn't "true" probable cause to obtain the sample needed to determine his blood-alcohol level. Nonetheless, Ruggs and his legal advisors will undoubtedly do everything possible to avoid prison time despite his BAC allegedly being well above the limit. Still, even if he miraculously dodges a conviction and can play in the future, it's doubtful any team would want to sign him. Dynasty managers who have him on the roster can drop him without thinking twice.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had 19 targets in the season opener, but he's averaging seven targets per game since Week 1 and had a season-low 24 yards on four receptions in the Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Waller still has had no fewer than five targets and four catches in every game, and his 71 targets on the year are second to only Travis Kelce, but he hasn't had double-digit targets since that very first game. With wide receiver Henry Ruggs III now out of the picture, teams haven't been as afraid of Zay Jones or DeSean Jackson deep down the field and have shifted more coverage Waller's way. Waller will continue being a top-five fantasy tight end and the Raiders will continue to involve him heavily, and he has a nice bounce-back opportunity against a Cincinnati Bengals defense in Week 11 that has struggled against the position recently.

The Las Vegas Raiders released wide receiver Henry Ruggs III on Tuesday following his involvement in a car crash that left a woman dead. Ruggs is facing felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol resulting in death and reckless driving. He was released from hospital and taken to jail ahead of an initial court appearance scheduled for Wednesday. The 22-year-old suffered injuries that weren't life-threatening, and he'll face a sentence of two to 20 years in a state prison. Ruggs, a first-round pick in 2020, there's a chance that this horrific tragedy is the end of his NFL career. RotoBaller extends its condolences to the deceased woman's family and friends.
