Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush is doubtful to face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday due to an ankle sprain. He hasn't practiced all week and there's almost no way he's going to play.
Joique Bell set for a monster fantasy day with Reggie Bush doubtful
Reggie Bush is doubtful to face the Falcons. We break down the fantasy implications.


Bush did say earlier this week that he would play, but so much for that idea. Considering he’s dealt with his ankle injury before, the Lions would be wise to rest him leading into the bye week.
So, it's going to be a lot of running back Joique Bell. He's going to be very busy against one of the softest defenses in the league. Plus, the Lions have their top three tight ends on the shelf, so they'll need Bell in the passing game.
Running back Theo Riddick will also get some touches. He does have a 41-yard touchdown to his credit and might actually flirt with 10 touches or so.
Fantasy impact: Start Bell everywhere. Riddick is a sneaky RB3 in deep 14-team leagues this week, and Bush should obviously be stashed or can be viewed as a buy-low target.
