Theo Riddick Is Flex-Worthy Against Rams
6 years agoDetroit Lions running back Theo Riddick has hauled in 25 of his last 28 targets for 174 yards since returning from injury in Week 9. Over the last four games, he's seen at least 6 targets per contest, and while he hasn't found the end zone yet this season, his role in the offense has never been more set. The Lions face off against the Rams this week, and with Golden Tate now in Philadelphia and Marvin Jones out for the season, Riddick has become a reliable option for Matthew Stafford to throw to. There is a likely chance that LA jumps out to a healthy lead, forcing the Lions to throw early and often, which bodes well for the 27-year-old back. This Sunday, he's got some flex potential in deeper PPR leagues, especially if he's able to find the end zone for the first time.
