Reggie Bush dominates Packers, leaving fantasy owners pleased
Bush recovered from an early fumble to gash the Packers in a blowout win. We break down the fantasy implications.

It was looking like a lost week for Bush after he lost yet another fumble on the opening drive. Lions coach Jim Schwartz typically kept Bush on the bench after turnovers, but he stuck with him and had his patience rewarded. Bush held onto the ball and went on to gash the Packers, who had no answer for the running game. The Lions moved the ball at will in their first Thanksgiving win since 2003.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners held their breath after Bush's fumble, fearing that he would lose touches to Joique Bell, but Bush stayed in and had another fine performance in the box score. He remains a quality RB1 and a PPR stud. The Lions take on the Eagles in Week 14 and Bush has a chance to feast on Philadelphia's weak defense.
