Theo Riddick, RB, Detroit Lions

Theo Riddick has thrived in the absence of Ameer Abdullah in years past, and Sunday was no different.

Rookie Tion Green burst onto the scene and looked good in his first taste of NFL action and is worth a speculative add if you have the roster space. However, we've seen Riddick act as the primary pass-catching back in addition to rushing more than he normally would in Abdullah's absence before.

This week, he had 14 touches, 62 total yards, and a touchdown. He's a much better option in PPR leagues, but his pass-catching ability and heavy snap share should interest you even in standard formats. Abdullah may not be out for much longer, but the short-term schedule looks nice for Riddick -- they play a soft Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense in Week 14.
