Lions Beat: Use of RBs Dwayne Washington, Justin Forsett depends on flow of game

I expect both RBs Dwayne Washington and Justin Forsett to be active and available for the Lions on Sunday and how Detroit splits their carries will likely depend on the game and on the health of Theo Riddick.

With Riddick out, figure that Washington and Forsett will both see in the neighborhood of 10 to 12 carries, particularly against a beaten-up Los Angeles defensive line. How the two are used could depend on game situations, too.

Related players: Zach Zenner

Fantasy Impact: 

Washington has a better handle on the offense than Forsett because Forsett just signed with Detroit this week. Washington has shown he can be a good combination of size and speed. He’s definitely a more versatile option than Forsett as of now and a bigger back if the Lions need to grind the ball with the lead late in the game. The Lions also have Zach Zenner, who can handle some of that role. Washington seems like the safer play at this point, but it seems like all three backs will be involved making it a tricky situation.

Lions RB Theo Riddick (ankle, out) missed practice all week and is out for Week 6. Dwayne Washington (ankle, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 6. If Washington plays, we believe he’ll serve as the lead back unless the ankle is closer to 70% than it is to 90-100%. Washington, Zach Zenner and Justin Forsett could form a three-man committee.

Lions RB Dwayne Washington (ankle) missed practice again Thursday. Washington apparently worked off to the side, so his Friday participation will be key.

Lions Beat: Theo Riddick and Dwayne Washington expected to be the 'No 1. and No. 2' backs

Tim Twentyman was asked about Justin Forsett's role:

I still see Theo Riddick being the lead back. He’s too important as a pass catcher to take off the field, and the Lions can’t tip their hand by not handing him the ball.

Dwayne Washington, when he returns, is still going to get carries. He’s shown big-time promise when healthy. He hasn’t done anything not to continue to get those looks.

The fact that neither Riddick (ankle) or Washington was on the practice field Wednesday is worth monitoring as the week goes on, and could certainly affect Forsett’s role this week.

When everyone is healthy and available, I expect Riddick and Washington to be No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, with Forsett challenging for the No. 3 role.

Fantasy Impact: 

This was our thinking as well. Forsett has averaged under 4.1 YPC in his last 13 games, which is significantly lower than the 5.1 YPC that he averaged from 2009 to 2014. He's likely to serve as depth if both Riddick and Washington are healthy.
