Henry Ruggs III Fantasy Stats

NFL reporter Albert Breer said he believes we could see Henry Ruggs III in an NFL uniform again. The former Las Vegas Raiders wideout pleaded guilty to felony DUI resulting in death and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter after a deadly crash in November of 2021 and has been behind bars for the last few years. Ruggs recently spoke as part of a Hope for Prisoners event in Las Vegas and said he wished he could "turn back the hands of time." "It was a horrific, horrific accident, and that's always the first thing to consider on it." Breer wrote. "But eventually, people will start to look forward, and Ruggs's public appearance was at least a reminder that he's eligible for parole in early August 2026, a little over a year from now. At that point, he'll be 27 and, at least on paper, he'd be in the heart of his athletic prime. It's unclear whether the NFL would suspend him. I checked in with the league office and was told the matter would be "reviewed" ahead of reinstatement." Breer mentioned the two-year prison sentence served by former NFL quarterback Michael Vick as the closest comparison to the situation. It would be up to an NFL team to decide if he is deserving of a second chance, but deservedly so, it would be a controversial development.

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.

Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is being charged with DUI resulting in a death for his role in a car crash on early Tuesday morning that involved a deceased victim. The 22-year-old Ruggs was the driver of the vehicle. He remained on the scene of the crash and showed signs of impairment. Ruggs was transported to a hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries. RotoBaller extends its sympathies to the deceased victim's family in this terrible situation. This is an ongoing investigation, but Ruggs will obviously be facing jail time and may never play another down in the NFL.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was involved in a serious car accident early Tuesday morning, according to TMZ. Ruggs' condition is unknown at the time, but there was significant damage to both vehicles involved in the crash. This will be an ongoing story on Tuesday, and we'll update the situation when he have more details on Ruggs' condition. Hopefully, the 22-year-old pass-catcher is OK, but there have been reports that there was at least one fatality in the accident. The Raiders are coming off their bye week and are set to face the New York Giants on the road in Week 9. Ruggs has 24 catches on 36 targets for 469 yards and two touchdowns in seven games this year. His yards have already eclipsed his season total from his rookie year in 13 games, while he's already matched his two scores from 2020 as well.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III caught 4-of-4 targets for 24 yards and had one carry for seven rushing yards in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. As expected earlier in the week, the 22-year-old garnered a lot of attention from the Eagles defense and wasn't left as open downfield as he has been in previous weeks. Fantasy managers can anticipate Ruggs getting more work when the Raiders return from their bye in Week 8, especially as they visit the New York Giants.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is looking to have another big game this weekend against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. The 22-year-old caught 3-of-4 targets for 97 yards with one touchdown in last Sunday's 34-24 win over the host Denver Broncos and continues to be a difference-maker week after week for the Silver and Black. Even with Darius Slay and the Eagles secondary putting a ton of pressure on Vegas' passing game, Ruggs should continue showcasing his speed and downfield dominance. Consider Ruggs a WR3 this week against Philly.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III had a very impactful Sunday, catching 3-of-4 targets for 97 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 win over the host Denver Broncos. Ruggs' opening drive touchdown catch set the Raiders offense up to have a big day against a Denver defense that struggled against the passing game on Sunday. The 22-year-old is finally meeting preseason expectations and has emerged as one of Vegas' most consistent players, which is good news for both fans and fantasy managers.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III has the potential to come up big for his team in Week 6 against the host Denver Broncos. The 22-year-old saw limited production in last week's 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears but still caught 3-of-3 passes for 51 yards. Ruggs is currently tied for third in the league averaging 20.5 yards per reception and is a serious downfield threat for a Vegas team that has had more success in the air than on the ground. Ruggs should be considered a WR3 going up against a Denver defense that ranks sixth against the pass, but it won't be surprising if he has a couple of big catches for the Raiders as well.
