Take the Over On This Henry Ruggs III Receiving Yards Prop
By Thomas Snodgrass
Derek Carr has been slinging the pigskin through the first six weeks of the season, averaging 324.3 passing yards per game. While Darren Waller receives a lot of the credit in the Las Vegas Raiders passing attack, it’s Henry Ruggs III who leads this team in receiving yards with 445.
Ruggs is averaging 74.2 receiving yards per game makes his receiving yards prop on WynnBET Sportsbook a great value. WynnBET has set Ruggs receiving yards at 48.5 (Over -112/Under -110). Of course Waller’s receiving yards line is set higher at 62.5 (Over -110/Under -110).
In only one game this season has Ruggs failed to record at least 50 receiving yards and that was Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Ruggs is the kind of receiver that can eclipse his receiving yards total with one catch. Ruggs caught a 37-yard pass in Week 1, a 61-yard catch in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a 51-yard catch in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and a 48-yard pass against the Denver Broncos in Week 6.
The second-year receiver has become a deep-threat receiver that is striking big with increasing regularity. While Ruggs doesn’t receive the most targets in the Raiders receiving corps, he does lead the NFL in yards per catch at a lofty 22.2. Ruggs is averaging two whole yards per catch than the next man, Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals (20.5 yards per catch).
Interestingly enough, the receiver behind Chase is Las Vegas’ Bryan Edwards (20.2 YPC).
Right now, Ruggs is playing like a seldom targeted Tyreek Hill, but he will get enough catches against Philadelphia to surpass his receiving yards prop.
Ruggs really only needs one catch to get the job done.
