Mikel Leshoure Rushes For 100 Yards In Fantasy Debut
Mikel Leshoure racked up 134 total yards and a touchdown in an impressive debut against the Titans. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: The Lions’ coaching staff clearly has a lot of confidence in Leshoure, considering they benched what had been a productive Smith. With a solid passing game taking away pressure, Leshoure could be a solid RB2 going forward. He was also targeted four times in the passing game for four receptions for 34 yards.
