Making the right choice can be the difference between winning and losing, both in the National Football League and in the world of fantasy football. Case in point. In the 2020 NFL draft, the Raiders had the No. 12 overall pick. Needing a wide receiver, they selected Henry Ruggs out of Alabama. Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk and Marquise Brown were all still available.
Ruggs posted fewer than 500 yards in each of his first two NFL seasons before an off-the-field incident ended his career. On the flip side, Jeudy, Lamb, Jefferson, Aiyuk and Brown have all had varying levels of success with their respective teams.
The Raiders chose poorly.
