Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush (ankle) is listed as probable and will play in the team's Week 7 game against the New Orleans Saints. Bush sat out of the game last week but practiced every day this week on a limited basis.
Reggie Bush injury update: RB probable for Lions, fantasy owners
Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush is listed as probable for Week 7. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: Bush will be in line to split the workload with Joique Bell. Bush’s 2014 season hasn’t been anything to write home about. Through five games, he’s only rushed 45 times for 161 yards (3.6 YPC) and one touchdown. At this pace, he’ll fall well short of achieving his second consecutive 1,000-yard campaign and third in the last four years. While Bush was a serviceable RB2 last year, he’s failed to match that production in his second season with Detroit.
Bush has a favorable matchup in the New Orleans Saints, who give up the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Until Bush can find a way to produce more, he’ll be no more than a mediocre Flex option.
