DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Carolina Panthers

As the Lions were trying to come back last Sunday against the Bears, Theo Riddick snagged six passes for 60 yards. In the past two weeks, with his team behind for most of the games, Riddick doesn’t have a rushing attempt but has totaled 13 receptions for 96 yards. Back at Ford Field versus the Panthers he makes for a flex start, but could be in for a bigger role if WR Marvin Jones is unable to play.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Miami Dolphins

With the Lions playing with the lead two weeks ago versus Green Bay, Matthew Stafford threw just 26 passes and Theo Riddick received only three looks. He grabbed two passes for 20 yards, but through the first five games has 31 touches for 168 yards and no TDs. Riddick is borderline to even be on a PPR league roster.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Green Bay Packers

The contest against the Cowboys was fairly even last week, which meant Matthew Stafford’s check down passes to Theo Riddick were again minimal. On five targets, Riddick finished with four grabs for 20 yards and has only eight touches the past two games. He has not been in the end zone this season despite Stafford throwing for eight scores in September. Riddick has become a borderline PPR start.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Dallas Cowboys

Versus New England last Sunday night, Detroit controlled the clock with 33 running plays and Matthew Stafford completed 75 percent of his passes. In the win, Theo Riddick did not have a rushing attempt, but he caught three passes for 36 yards. For the first time this season, the Lions spent most of the time with the lead, which meant the check-down passes to Riddick weren’t needed. He has 17 receptions in the first three contests and his pass-catching ability may be needed at Dallas this week. However, the Cowboys are ranked fourth versus the pass, so Riddick should again only be started in PPR leagues.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. New England Patriots

With Detroit playing from behind at San Francisco last week, Matthew Stafford threw 53 passes. He targeted Theo Riddick 12 times, resulting in a team-high nine receptions for 47 yards. As long as the Lions find themselves playing catchup, Riddick makes for a great PPR play. However, you’ve got to figure they’ll be playing in closer contests, which will limit Riddick’s playing time. Sunday night against the Patriots could be another productive game for the RB, though, especially if New England gets out to an early lead.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at San Francisco 49ers

With his team falling way behind in the second half last Monday night versus the Jets, Theo Riddick became the main RB, collecting four rushes for 20 yards and catching five passes for 15 more yards. It was a frustrating game all around for the offense, with five interceptions thrown by Detroit quarterbacks. While the Detroit ground attack needs some work, Riddick’s value will continue to come from the passing game. He should only be started in PPR format leagues.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. New York Jets

With LeGarrette Blount, Ameer Abdullah and Kerryon Johnson poised to carry the ball out of the Detroit backfield, most of Theo Riddick’s touches will again be on third down in the passing game. He remains a good PPR play, as Matthew Stafford loves to throw to Riddick, as he creates mismatches for opponents. Riddick doesn’t make for a good regular scoring format option.
