Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush will not play against the Minnesota Vikings a week after leaving Detroit's Week 5 game early with an ankle sprain. Bush has been injury prone throughout his career and the Lions are probably just playing it safe, so he should be ready for Week 7.
Joique Bell set for a big fantasy day with Reggie Bush out

As for this week, it's going to be a lot of Joique Bell, who the Lions will rely on even more with receiver Calvin Johnson (ankle) not playing. Their defense is vastly improved and they should have no problem building a decent lead against the Vikings and rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
Bell is coming off a concussion from Week 4 that kept him out last week, but he was cleared for contact back on Wednesday. The Lions really only have Theo Riddick behind him, so Bell figures to get an overwhelming amount of carries.
Fantasy impact: He’s a great start this week and can be viewed as a strong RB2 in all formats.
