Mikel Leshoure back at Lions practice, fantasy value stable for Week 13
Detroit Lions running back Mikel Leshoure (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Gregory Shamus
Leshoure ran for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Houston Texans. He has scored five touchdowns in the last four games for the Lions.
Fantasy Impact: Leshoure has been a solid fantasy running back the last few weeks despite Detroit’s three-game losing streak. He has scored in two straight games and should have a decent shot to the find the end zone again this week against the Colts.
Leshoure should be considered a high-end No. 2 fantasy running back in Week 13.
