Theo Riddick Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Kerryon Johnson (knee) not practicing again Thursday
The rookie will miss another week while veteran backs LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick split the load. Week 14 offers a rare game where the Lions are favored and Blount has average 18 touches per game in Johnson's absence so he could be worthy of your player pool this week at a fairly cheap price in potential positive gamescript.
Upside In This Massive Game Total
If you're looking for a long shot play for large field tournaments, Theo Riddick is your guy this weekend. This game has a 55.5-point total and I think it ends close to 60-64 points. Kerryon Johnson has yet to practice this week and is doubtful to play against the Rams. While Blount could steal some red zone work, Riddick will be used in the passing game. Since returning from injury in week 9, Riddick has at least six targets in all four games, and has at least five catches in those games. He semi disappointed on Thanksgiving, but don't forget the play he was tackled at the two-yard line. If he scores that touchdown, he would likely be chalk this weekend. The Rams are going to put up points, so I'm hoping we see a lot of back and front here with the Lions.
RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) not practicing again Thursday
Johnson will miss another week after recently taking the lead back reins. In his absence last game, LeGarrette Blount had over 100 total yards on 20 touches and while Theo Riddick caught 7 passes. Expect both to be heavily involved again on Sunday, with Riddick potentially seeing more snaps than Blount this time around given gamescript concerns against the Rams potent offense.
RB Kerryon Johnson (knee) not practicing Wednesday
Johnson is likely to miss another week after recently taking the lead back reins. In his absence last game, LeGarrette Blount had over 100 total yards on 20 touches and while Theo Riddick caught 7 passes. Expect both to be heavily involved again on Sunday, with Riddick potentially seeing more snaps than Blount this time around given gamescript concerns against the Rams potent offense.
RB Kerryon Johnson has knee sprain; Likely to "miss a game or two"
The rookie back isn't going to play on Thursday against the Bears after spraining his knee against the Panthers in Week 11. LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick should form a committee in a very tough matchup with gamescript dictating which back sees more snaps. That would tend to favor Riddick, with the Lions being 4-point underdogs on Thanksgiving.
WR Marvin Jones (knee) not spotted at practice Thursday
The Lions wideout is looking closer to doubtful now for Week 11 after being considered day-to-day with a bone bruise. Coming off a 13 target performance in Week 10, Kenny Golladay projects to again be a target monster against a Panthers secondary that was just obliterated by the Steelers pass-catchers. T.J. Jones would likely round out 2-WR sets, while RB Theo Riddick may be more heavily utilized if (Marvin) Jones misses Sunday's game.
Theo Riddick, Darius Slay active for DET
As expected. With Riddick back, it's likely he takes some passing-down work from Kerryon Johnson, but he'll also have an opportunity to see an uptick in slot opportunity with Golden Tate shipped out of town. Slay's presence is not great news for the Vikings passing game, which is down Stefon Diggs. Adam Thielen remains the top overall WR play.
Theo Riddick practices in full Friday, will play Sunday; Darius Slay questionable
Theo Riddick practices in full Friday, will play Sunday, while Darius Slay is questionable. Riddick's presence should eat into Kerryon Johnson's passing down work and it's also very possible Riddick sees a little time out of the slot with Golden Tate shipped off to Philly. Johnson isn't quite as strong of a mid-range RB target with Riddick active.
Theo Riddick (knee) out Sunday
Theo Riddick is officially out Sunday due to a knee injury. Look for Kerryon Johnson to see the most carries out of the Lions backfield, with LeGarrette Blount seeing most of the goal line work and Ameer Abdullah functioning in a change-of-pace role.
RB Theo Riddick (knee) not taking part in practice Thursday
Riddick looks unlikely to play again in Week 8. Last week, Kerryon Johnson saw 21 touches for nearly 180 yards in his absence and should see all the passing down work at running back again this week with LeGarrette Blount being his only competition for carries
