Dwayne Washington will start Week 6 for Lions

Theo Riddick has officially been ruled out for the Detroit Lions, meanwhile Dwayne Washington returned to limited practice on Friday.

The Lions will have Justin Forsett and Dwayne Washington handle backfield duties with Washington getting the start and most of the touches.

The Lions host the Los Angeles Rams, so the matchup isn't too bad. Washington will likely see at least 12 touches, which makes him a viable starting option in fantasy leagues. Forsett will be involved when Washington needs a breather.

We expect Washington to be a decent bye-week or injury replacement back with high-end RB3 value.
