The Detroit Lions have ruled out Theo Riddick for their Week 6 matchup with the L.A. Rams. Riddick is dealing with an ankle injury suffered in Week 5 that caused him to miss practice this week.
Theo Riddick injury update: Lions RB out vs. Rams
The Lions are already without Ameer Abdullah, so losing Theo Riddick would be a major blow to this offense and fantasy owners.


This would be a big loss for the Lions and fantasy owners of Riddick. He has been a PPR stud and really sparked this offense with Ameer Abdullah now on injured reserve. In five games, Riddick has 171 rushing yards and one score to go with 26 catches for 190 yards and three scores.
Heading into Week 5, no NFL running back had caught more passes than Riddick’s 26.
Fantasy Impact: Not having Riddick means Detroit will rely heavily on Dwayne Washington this week, though he is listed as questionable to play with an ankle injury. That means we could see Zach Zenner start against L.A. on Sunday.
Zenner had seven rushes for just nine yards and caught two passes for 23 yards in the Lions’ Week 5 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
