7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 13
Theo Riddick, RB, Detroit Lions
Price: $5,300
Theo Riddick is another high-volume back, but he does it in a different way than Lewis does.
The Detroit Lions are thin at the wide receiver spot with Golden Tate gone and Marvin Jones injured, and Riddick has effectively been a wideout this season.
He has yet to notch more than 4 carries in a game (tallying only 11 on the year), but he has 58 targets in his 9 games, averaging 6.4 per. He hasn't seen fewer than 6 targets in any of his last four games, with his per-game average up to 7.0 per in that stretch.
That may not seem especially exciting in half-point per reception scoring on FanDuel, but as our Jim Sannes looked at before the season, targets are worth about twice as much as carries from a fantasy standpoint.
If anything, that 6-to-7 target range could very well be Riddick's floor this week, too. The Lions are heavy 10.0-point home underdogs, meaning they're likely going to be forced to go to the air a lot this week.
