Henry Ruggs III Week 13 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 3rd 2020, 8:26am EST

He tied a career-high in targets last week... with five of them. The 56 yards he posted against the Falcons was the second-highest mark of the season for him, so baby steps, I guess. The Jets have allowed a massive 72.0 percent catch-rate to wide receivers, a number that's only grown as the year has gone on. There have been 19 wide receivers who've seen at least five targets against the Jets, and 17 of them finished as top-48 wide receivers, so volume is really all we need for Ruggs to get into WR4 territory. Knowing the Raiders run game isn't particularly healthy and may struggle against the Jets run defense (that's better than most believe), we should see a bit more pass attempts out of the Raiders offense. The Jets have also allowed 38 pass plays that have gone for 20-plus yards, the seventh-most in football. You know the risk you're getting into with Ruggs by now, though this matchup is one that really should allow him to shine a bit. He's a risk/reward WR4/5-type option.
