BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker leagues
ANALYSIS: Reggie Bush found himself inactive for Sunday’s game due to an ankle injury. Not the best time to be inactive when your team has a plus matchup against a bad run defense, but you know, it happens. I’m not bitter that he was inactive on one of my most important teams. Not at all. Anyway, Joique Bell had a good showing against the Vikings, as many expected. But it was Theo Riddick who really impressed me. Granted, Riddick did almost nothing in the run game, but his pass-catching ability was superb. He caught five balls for 75 yards and a TD, including a screen pass that he turned into a 41-yard gain.
The 5’10” 201-lb. back’s best comparable is Justin Forsett. You know, that guy who is absolutely tearing it up in PPR leagues right now? Yeah, that one. Maybe thanks to Riddick’s success we can finally stop associating his name with a bad Vin Diesel movie. It’s relevant that Bush should return sooner than later, though. In fact, Bush is claiming he’ll return next week. But he also said he’d play this week, so trusting Reggie about when he plays may prove difficult. However, Riddick himself re-injured his hamstring in this week’s game. I’d add Riddick in all dynasty formats and potentially take a flier on him in 12 team leagues or deeper off the Week 7 waiver wire.
