Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Have you noticed a theme yet this week? So far it seems to be all underutilized backs who are all backups to players who recently got injured. Granted, you may wonder why Riddick is on this list at all since he rushed for zero yards and only caught two passes for 2.5 yards. However, one of those catches was for a touchdown. That's not the main reason I have Riddick reappearing on this list though. It's because Reggie Bush tweaked his ankle again during Week 10's game. Bush never officially checked out of the game, but he was incredibly limited after hurting his ankle. Also in the two games before this, Riddick caught receptions for 70+ yards and a TD. Riddick has a role that is very similar to Bush, and with Bush questionable moving forward, Riddick makes for a good add. I'm actually somewhat surprised Riddick's ownership is only at 11%, because I'd imagine he'd be owned heavily in dynasty formats. The chronicles of Riddick are worth following in deeper leagues and in the majority of dynasty formats.
