Reggie Bush has yet to be cleared by Lions doctors, remains a fantasy question mark for Week 3

The Lions’ top running back sat-out practice for the second straight day on Thursday and remains uncertain for Sunday’s game versus the Redskins. We break down the fantasy implications.

After taking a helmet to the knee in the first half versus the Cardinals in Week Two, Bush sat out most of the game's remainder as the offense struggled to get much going. Despite being banged-up for most of the young season so far, Bush remains optimistic about his chances for playing versus the Redskins. However, Bush was held out of practice once again on Thursday and has yet to suit-up this week.

Fantasy Spin: It's looking more and more like it will be a game-time decision for Bush, and even if he suits up, his chances of being heavily involved in the game plan do not look very high. Joique Bell is in line to take the bulk of the snaps if Bush sits out, and if that's the case, Bell has RB2 value with RB1 upside in PPR leagues. With several injuries to running backs in the previous week, owners who are thin at the position would be fortunate to have Bell start in Week Three. If Bush suits up on Sunday, he is a dicey flex play.
