Theo Riddick News
Las Vegas Raiders running backs Jalen Richard and Theo Riddick have been placed on the league's reserve/COVID-19 list, which will keep both out of training camp for the time being. With Kenyan Drake on the non-football injury list, the Raiders are left with just one of their top four backs at camp in Josh Jacobs. This could be a chance for a pair of rookie UDFAs, Trey Ragas and Garrett Groshek, to fight for a roster spot, especially Riddick's spot. Jacobs is rarely used as a receiving back, so if one of the duo impresses, they could be able to find a small role with this team in 2021, though playing behind Jacobs and Kenyan Drake complicates things, as does the coaching staff's love for Richard.
The Las Vegas Raiders re-signed running back Theo Riddick to a one-year, $1.175 million deal. The deal includes $50,000 guaranteed. Riddick's deal comes after the Raiders made a surprising move to bring in former Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake as the primary backfield complement for Josh Jacobs. With Drake and Jalen Richard also in the fold, Riddick will likely just be running back insurance as a receiving threat. The 30-year-old had a much bigger role with the Detroit Lions from 2014-18, but he hasn't done much in the last two years. He spent 2019 on the Denver Broncos Injured Reserve and played in just four games for the Raiders in 2020.
Denver Broncos running back Theo Riddick has suffered a fractured shoulder and will miss 6-8 weeks of action. The Broncos had just signed Riddick to give them a better third-down back than Devontae Booker, but they'll now be without him for at least some regular season games. Riddick's fantasy value takes a hit with this news, but he's still got PPR appeal once he's back on the field. Booker's not likely to play enough of a role in the meantime to make him fantasy relevant, though.
