Latest Fantasy Rumors
Poised for starting role
The Saints' release of veteran Larry Warford on Saturday, reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, opens up a starting spot on the offensive line for Ruiz.
ANALYSIS
Andrus Peat and Warford were slotted in to start at the guard spots for New Orleans, but it appears Ruiz will instead get crack at securing a job. The 24th overall pick in April's draft was the consensus top interior lineman of the draft after spending his collegiate career at Michigan.
