Bush seems likely to play in Week 3 against the Washington Redskins. He's the team's starting running back, and a valuable weapon in the passing game for Matthew Stafford. Bush had a big Week 1, but slowed down in Week 2 due to the injury.
Joique Bell is Bush's backup, and even if Bush is good to go, it seems likely that Bell takes more than his usual share of the touches. The Lions want to get Bell the ball, and this is as good an excuse as any to do so.
Fantasy Impact: Bush should play on Sunday, though the team hasn’t confirmed that at this point. But he should start, and he should get a decent amount of touches provided there are no setbacks. However, he is probably not the best option to start as it seems likely the team will give the ball to Bell. It’s really a judgment call, and depends on your running back depth.
