Kansas City Chiefs at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Bold predictions for Week 11

Henry Ruggs scores a touchdown

Things between Henry Ruggs and quarterback Derek Carr has been a bit off these past few weeks.  Whether it has been a ball just out of reach, going through his hands, or not being able to get two feet inbounds, Ruggs hasn’t been the difference maker every Raiders fan hoped he’d be when he was drafted with the 12th pick in this years draft

This is the week he gets back on track.

I think Gruden runs some screens, and slants to Ruggs, plays he excelled with in college, then unleash him deep to score another long touchdown against this defense.  In the last game against the Chiefs, Ruggs got two catches for 118 yards and a touchdown, and I think he surpasses those numbers on Sunday.

It’s time to get him more involved in the offense, and that will be a part of the plan going into this one. Nelson Agholor has been playing well this season, but Ruggs is important not only to this season, but the future going forward.
