Week 15 vs. Chicago Bears
Despite being cleared to play after missing some time with a neck injury, Ameer Abdullah did not play last week in the win over the Bucs. Head Coach Jim Caldwell has not confirmed the RB as the team’s starter, but Theo Riddick has been somewhat effective the past two games, registering 3 TDs. Last month, the Bears stuffed Abdullah, holding him to 22 yards on 11 rushes; he did have a receiving TD in the Lions win, however. Abdullah should be pretty much fully recovered by Sunday, but is a risky start based on his role in the offense.
