Dwayne Washington (ankle) could be busy for Lions Week 7

Detroit Lions running back Dwayne Washington (ankle) will "get a nice workload" if Theo Riddick (ankle) sits again this week, believes Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com.

What It Means:

The duo were both out last week, but Washington got in a limited practice Wednesday and is expected to be back for Week 7. Riddick was not able to practice and his status is much more uncertain. Friday should provide some clarity, but with Justin Forsett and Zach Zenner all of a sudden present in Detroit's backfield, this is a risky fantasy situation to invest in behind Riddick.

Our models currently project Riddick to see 14 touches in Week 7, while Washington is pegged for only six.
