And man, is this kid fast. Often compared to another diminutive, lightning-fast wide receiver in Tyreek Hill, Ruggs is a catch-and-run stud — but what will his fantasy impact be on a team in need of a No. 1 receiver? Andy Behrens delivers his take in the video above.

While Ruggs wasn’t an incredibly productive player in college, Andy says he’s a burner that will automatically update the Raiders’ wide receiver depth chart. Think of him as a WR4-5 for fantasy purposes in his rookie campaign. Ruggs could be a DeSean Jackson-type with Hill being his ceiling if he fulfills his potential.
