Mikel LeShoure Injury Update: Fantasy running back set to go vs. Falcons
Mikel LeShoure (calf) looks to be ready to go against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact: LeShoure's calf hasn't really been much of an issue all year and the Lions should be using him in a featured rusher. Joique Bell does see some touches on third down, but all the goal-line work should go to the Illinois product.
The Falcons rank 24th in the league against the rush and LeShoure might be able to make up for the 3.8 yard-per-carry average this season. The Lions really don’t run the ball ranking 24th in the league in carries and leading the league by a mile in pass attempts. LeShoure is a high-end flex in standard leagues with some upside.
