Riddick snatched six passes off of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. He added 17 rushing yards on five carries.
The five carries were Riddick's second most of the season and, perhaps more importantly, he snagged five or more passes for the fifth time in eight games. Riddick's 11 touches on Sunday were more than Joique Bell and Ameer Abdullah's touches combined and with quarterback Matthew Stafford often harrassed by pass rushers, quick passes to Riddick have become a staple of Detroit's offense. He ranks second on the team in catches and, unless the Lions make wholesale changes during the Week 9 bye, Riddick should remain a spot starter in PPR leagues.
