Raiders sign Theo Riddick to one-year deal
The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to a one-year deal with former Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos running back Theo Riddick.
What It Means:
Riddick joins a Raiders backfield that is crowded with pass-catching options behind sophomore star Josh Jacobs. It remains to be seen what kind of a role, if any, Riddick will have, but his addition highlights the primary question surrounding Josh Jacobs' fantasy outlook for this season - how involved will he be in the passing game?
numberFire's models project Jacobs for 28.6 receptions on 37.1 targets this season. He is the RB9 in their preseason fantasy rankings.
