I know this is a bit different from the kind of "vs" thread you'd expect, but I'm trying to decide which to have on my fantasy team. It's .5 PPR and I'm leaning Ruggs because the Broncos have more options on offense than the Raiders so I think Las Vegas might lean on HRIII a bit more than Denver leans on Jeudy.

Any fantasy guys have any good advice on Ruggs or Jeudy?

Jeudy has had glowing reviews in Denver but last I read he wasnt even running with the first team.

Ruggs is likely to start.

Id say Ruggs is safer, Jeudy has higher scoring upside.

I’d take Ruggs. I don’t even know who the QB at Denver is. That’s more than likely on me though

Just googled...... Jeff Driskel and Drew Lock are the Denver QBs. Take Ruggs

Jeudy is listed as the starter on ESPN. Doesn't mean much honestly. In my PPR league, pay site rankings app...Jeudy is 76th overall with an average draft position of 98th. Ruggs is 86th overall with an average draft position of 121. So it seems neither would ever start for you outside of a bye week, but Ruggs presents more value.

Biggest thing with fantasy is value relative to their position. So let's say these were the players available, who would give you the biggest advantage:

Team A: QB-40 points, RB 40 points, WR 30 points, TE 20 points.

Team B: QB-38 points, RB 42 points, WR 27 points, TE 10 points.

So the TE on Team A actually should be the first player taken because he gives you the biggest advantage over the other player at his position. That's basically the basis of value based drafting. Who gives you the most value at your pick. That's why I said if you could get Ruggs 3 rounds after Jeudy, he's actually the better value. Either way, I don't think they're winning you your league this year. Traditionally rookie WRs have the toughest transition to fantasy production.

He is.

It’s Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick...in that order. KJ Hamler as the 4th option.

All depends on Drew Lock. How has he progressed from year 1?

I took Jeudy in my fantasy draft this morning, I think with him in the slot, he will get plenty of touches

Ruggs, especially in PPR. LV is now without Tyrell Williams and Lynn Bowden. Think he’s gonna get a ton of targets.
