Fantasy Football: 10 Running Backs to Target in PPR Leagues
Theo Riddick, Detroit Lions
Standard Running Back Projection: 42nd
PPR Running Back Projection: 35th
PPR Average Draft Position: 12.12 (RB52)
Theo Riddick has been one of the more underappreciated PPR commodities over the last three seasons, consistently outperforming his ADP.
| Season | ADP | Fantasy Finish |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | Undrafted | RB18 |
| 2016 | RB41 | RB26 |
| 2017 | RB33 | RB25 |
Well, it's pretty much the same old song and dance for 2018. Riddick is coming off the board as RB52, and our models project him to be the PPR RB35.
Fantasy doesn't have to be hard, guys.
Riddick will likely never again see 99 targets like he did in 2015, when he made 80 catches, but he's more than capable of repeating his numbers from the last two seasons, during which he's averaged 69 targets, 53 grabs, 407.5 yards and 3.5 touchdowns as a receiver.
We project Riddick for 49 catches, 386 yards and 1.39 scores through the air -- in addition to 87 carries, 318 yards and 2.01 touchdowns on the ground -- and he's one of the best mid-round values out there in PPR formats.
