Scouting report

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Washington
After missing last week’s game against Los Angeles with an ankle injury, Theo Riddick may be back on Sunday. He has a great matchup at home versus a Washington defense that yields over 360 total yards per game. Theo scored twice in Week 5 and, even with the addition of RB Justin Forsett, makes for a good start, especially in PPR leagues. Be sure to monitor the injury report, but if he's active, start Riddick.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Los Angeles
Last Sunday in the win over Philly, Theo Riddick was all over the place. He finished with 17 touches, leading the team in rushes and receptions. Theo scored twice in the passing game and totaled 82 yards. The 49 yards on the ground were a season high and he continues to be a great PPR weapon. Los Angeles was burned by LeSean McCoy last week, so be sure to keep on starting Riddick.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Philadelphia
It was a tough day for the Lions offense last week in Chicago, as the team totaled less than 250 yards. Theo Riddick finished with 58 yards on 15 touches. The good news is he led the team with 11 rushing attempts, but it was for just 31 yards (2.8 YPC). Rookie Dwayne Washington and Zach Zenner combined for only five carries. Theo will continue to be the starter and see the bulk of the touches out of the backfield. On the turf at Ford Field, expect a better game from Riddick.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 4, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Chicago
While the Packers were stuffing the Lions’ ground attack last week, Theo Riddick finished with just nine rushing yards on 10 attempts. He did have better success as a receiver, grabbing seven passes for 39 yards. Rookie Dwayne Washington received 10 carries at Green Bay and will likely be splitting time in the backfield with Theo moving forward. Riddick’s biggest value comes in the passing game, where he is a great option in PPR leagues.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Green Bay
With Ameer Abdullah lost for the season, Theo Riddick now becomes the featured RB on the team. He led the team with 11 rushes against the Titans last Sunday and also caught four passes for 28 yards. Theo is not going to be a 25-carry workhorse out of the backfield, as he’ll split time with rookie Dwayne Washington. Riddick will remain an important part of the passing game, however, which may be where most of his yards come this week, as Green Bay has allowed only 78 yards on the ground in two games.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Tennessee
As the Lions were totaling nearly 450 yards last Sunday at Indianapolis, Theo Riddick led the charge with two of the team’s five TDs. Theo scored on a 21-yard run and also caught a 13-yard pass that put Detroit ahead late in the fourth quarter. On 12 touches, he collected 108 yards. Riddick has another nice matchup in the home opener versus the Titans. While Ameer Abdullah will again receive the bulk of the rushing attempts, Theo should flourish in the passing game.

DET RB Theo Riddick - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Indianapolis
Theo Riddick is coming off of a career-year as a pass-catcher, grabbing 80 passes for nearly 700 yards. He’ll like get a few rushing attempts in the opener, but Ameer Abdullah will handle most of the ground attack. Look for Theo to again be used in the aerial attack, making him a nice play in PPR leagues. However, he doesn’t make for much of a traditional RB play in regular fantasy formats.
