Detroit Lions RB Mikel Leshoure returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two weeks because of a hamstring injury. Leshoure participated in individual drills, but not take part in team drills. His return is encouraging for the Lions, who are still without Jahvid Best (concussion) and will likely have to rely on veteran Kevin Smith. Leshoure is suspended for the first two games of the season because of two offseason arrests.
Detroit RB Mikel Leshoure Returns to Practice: Fantasy Implications
Detroit Lions RB Mikel Leshoure returned to practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: The Lions are seeking someong to immerge at running back and Leshoure is a good a bet as anyone else they have on their roster. It’s still not clear when Best will be cleared to play and Smith likely isn’t going to be the answer for the entire season either. Especially with the two-game suspension, fantasy owners shouldn’t go out of their way to draft Leshoure but he could be a sneaky pick in dynasty or keeper leagues.
