Detroit Lions running back Mikel LeShoure had an early fumble, which turned into points for the Atlanta Falcons. However, LeShoure made up for it just a moment ago, scoring on a dive in the red zone.
Mikel LeShoure finds the end zone, fantasy value redeemed after fumble
Detroit Lions RB Mikel LeShoure pounded the ball in for a score inside the 5-yard line. We breakdown the fantasy implications.

His touchdown made it a ball game in Detroit after the Lions were getting blown out. All of a sudden, it’s a one possession game with over a quarter of play left.
Fantasy Analysis: LeShoure is a flex play at best, and if you used him in Week 16, you’ve already gotten your worth. That touchdown is what fantasy owners needed in order for LeShoure to have had a “good game.”
He is not one to break for long runs, but is tough in between the tackles. Any yards he gains after this is just the icing on the cake.
