kilroy69 993 Posted September 8, 2020 I understand that Carr is not a great QB but he has not had a WR that was as good since cooper and he proved then he could feed the ball to one guy down the field. Ruggs is fast and is going to be a primary target right off the bat. Anyone else like him as a wr3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,451 Posted September 8, 2020 Cooper wasn’t a good wr with the Raiders, that’s why he’s not with the Raiders any longer, proving that motivation is a good motivator when changing teams,, like Fournette. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had a career year last year with the cowboys but lets not get carried away. His numbers with the raiders are not THAT far off from what they were last year with dallas.

Yeah after seeing your post, I checked out his stats, and it does look like I was wrong, and your right, so I apologize for that. But once again with Ruggs as a flex play, I’ll say sometimes. I just don’t think I see the Raiders passing game being consistent. I would have a tough time trusting him weekly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 146 Posted September 8, 2020 I'm no college football expert but I was very suprised that Ruggs had the 3rd most catches among WRs at Alabama last year. His speed and home run game is elite but I'm not sure how well rounded he is. I have been wrong often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cooper is an asburidly talented and smooth WR who lacks the killer instinct and has had a propensity to chase huge game with zeros and be somewhat unreliable for a top fantasy player. He kind of repeated what he was in Dallas FWIW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Showboat 143 Posted September 8, 2020 Ruggs strikes me as a Darrius Heyward-Bey kind of pick. It's hard to get too ethusiastic about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kent 228 Posted September 9, 2020 Word is the Edwards rookie opposite him has looked better. I'd have taken Ruggs had he landed later. I do have a share of.Jeudy though. Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 993 Posted September 9, 2020 Edwards was named the x today which I am happy about. The X is usually covered by the teams best cb while the z alternates between the slot and the stacked side wr. Rugga should be running against slower corners or possibly a lb from the z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best CB lines up in their position which would be covering edwards or rentfrow if ruggs and rentfrow swap at the slot that play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrokh 567 Posted September 9, 2020 Dcs move corners/safeties around so much these days there no longer is a set coverage. A lot of teams play 3 safeties and 2 LBs. Regardless, a DC isn’t going to allow Ruggs to be matched up in single coverage by a slow corner, or Lord forbid a LB. These DC’s know a lot more about football than we do, to say the least...

Tough one , it ready sounds like Cooks is going to be very questionable for this weekend , but over all I like him more, so do you need one of those Raiders wr for this weekend ?

Matt Mueller 146 Posted September 10, 2020 Tough. I like Ruggs and Edwards more from a standpoint that they be could 1A 1 B WRs in the offense and I think the Texans are also gonna be 1. a 1 B 2 B 2 C with Cobb and Stills all getting in the mix too Raiders want to pound the rock. Houston I think could be playing more catchup with Watson slinging late Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 399 Posted September 10, 2020 I'm starting him in one of my dynasty leagues this weekend. My WR group was totally shot, so I did a makeover and draft all three of the top rookie WRs. I'm starting him Lamb and Jeudy. We'll see how that works out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 587 Posted September 13, 2020 well, one of the rookies needs to get it done in Vegas. They literally have nobody else. one of the rookie WR's will breakout this year, I guess the challenge is figuring out which one it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
