Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell is listed as questionable to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. He missed Wednesday's practice, was limited on Thursday and put in a full practice on Friday.
Joique Bell injury update: Lions running back should be ready for fantasy owners
Joique Bell’s foot injury kept him limited in practice this week. We break down the fantasy implications.

Bell suffered a foot injury last Sunday, cutting his day short and finishing with nine carries for 49 yards, three catches for 48 yards and one score against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Reggie Bush had a fumble in the first half and the team put him on the bench as a punishment. Bush was able to return to the game after the Bell injury. Interestingly, he vowed not to fumble again for the rest of the season.
Fantasy impact: Bell was cooling off before Sunday and didn’t top 60 yards from scrimmage in any of his previous six games. His foot injury isn’t serious and he’s going to play, but it’ll be tough to put him in fantasy lineups as a backup. Bush is locked and loaded as an elite option. He ranks third on our running back rankings for PPR formats.
