FAAB Bid: $6 - 8 (PPR Leagues), 15% owned in Fleaflicker
Riddick deserves a lot more love in PPR leagues, but it turns out he's not a total throwaway in standard leagues either. Ameer Abdullah fumbled the ball twice in the first half of the Lions' game against the Arizona Cardinals, and he was benched for Zach Zenner and Theo Riddick.
Now while the Lions won't be getting beaten down every week as handily as they were on Sunday, they do appear to really be floundering. Matthew Stafford was benched as well, and when your defense is also struggling, well the passing down situations are going to come often. This is where Riddick shines, as he got 13 targets, turning these into ten receptions for 53 yards and a touchdown. He's always looked like a good runner when he gets the ball in his hands, though he isn't big enough to be a pure between the tackles guy and usually the volume isn't there to make him valuable.
That said, he's gotten a ton of work in the fourth quarter this year because of the horrid gameflow situations the Lions have found themselves in to date. If you're in PPR leagues, lost Charles, but don't have nearly enough to get West or Davis and the waiver wire is pretty barren, look at Riddick.
