Owned in 15% of Fleaflicker leagues
Can you name any running back, let alone a second-string RB, that has put together four straight games of five catches or more? Honestly, off the top of my head, I could not think of any until I saw the recent numbers that Riddick has been putting together lately. And, it is amazing he is yet to be owned in the majority of leagues.
There are several question marks surrounding the Detroit Lions, the NFL’s last winless team this season. They have a questionable QB in Matthew Stafford and their offense had high expectations that they have failed to meet. And, as expected, the team has trailed a lot in games, especially in the second half.
Riddick is their best back on the team to use in the passing game. Riddick should begin to see more snaps as the season goes on, especially if the team continues to disappoint. Look for Riddick to have a large role in this week’s game.
Prediction: 30 rushing yards, 6 receptions, 50 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown
