Theo Riddick

Lions' Theo Riddick projected for productive Thanksgiving Day showing

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick is projected for 8.2 touches, 45.7 yards and 0.16 touchdowns in a Week 12 home matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.

What It Means:

Last week, Riddick ran for 35 yards on nine carries, but he was limited to just a single reception and four yards in the Detroit passing game. His 10 touches were nice, but Riddick's activity through the air has been discouraging of late. But the Vikings have allowed 7.6 targets and 5.3 receptions a game to opposing running backs this season so maybe he could in for a good game.

At a cost of $5,600, Riddick is projected to tally 7.2 FanDuel points on Thursday afternoon.
