The Detroit Lions are calling Theo Riddick questionable vs. the Chicago Bears in Week 14.

Riddick has a wrist injury that kept him out of practice on Wednesday before he was limited Thursday. An ankle injury has also been bothering him in recent weeks, leading to a weekly questionable designation on the final injury report.

Riddick has missed just two games due to injury this season, but it does not appear this latest issue will sideline him in Week 14. He ranks third in catches (53) among running backs this season as he has been a solid PPR back.

Fantasy Impact: If Riddick is active, Yahoo! ranks him as the 11th-best running back in PPR leagues and 24th in standard leagues. He would face a Bears defense allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.

As long as Riddick plays, keep him in your starting lineup in PPR leagues, but bench him in standard leagues.
