Play Theo Riddick as an Underdog

We just covered this barnburner of a matchup between the Saints and the Lions. Many players in this game are expected to do well, but I'd like to highlight Lions running back Theo Riddick.

The Lions are six-point underdogs, and as an underdog since the start of 2015, Riddick has averaged 11.11 half-PPR points per game.

The high total of 53.5 also makes Riddick an intriguing play. He has played in only two games with a total of 50 or higher but has averaged 14.65 half-PPR points per game.

Riddick has been targeted five or more times per game in all but one game this season and can be expected to be heavily utilized when the Lions try to keep pace with the Saints. Riddick is priced at $6,500 on FanDuel, which is 20th among running backs. He is a viable option in cash games as well as tournaments.
