BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
Owned in 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Reggie who? Theo Riddick has made a name for himself in two of the past three weeks as a dangerous pass catching weapon out of the backfield. Against the Falcons swiss-cheese defense, he hauled in 8 catches for 74 yards and a touchdown, including a drive-saving one handed catch that helped setup the game winning field goal. While Riddick doesn’t have game-breaking speed or power, he makes up for that with superb hands and good vision.
As long as Reggie Bush remains banged up, Riddick will see his fair share of snaps as a 3rd down back, which in the Lions offense makes him someone to own. Bush has been disappointing when he’s played this year, so it wouldn’t be too surprising to see Riddick have a role regardless of when Bush comes back. Calvin Johnson's imminent return should have minimal impact on Riddick's outlook, so I’d hang on to Riddick as a stash coming out of their bye as he could be a valuable flex asset come playoff time, especially in PPR leagues.
