Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush is officially listed as doubtful on the injury report for Week 8. The Lions will play the Atlanta Falcons in London on Sunday, so the game will be on in the early morning in the United States. Bush is dealing with an ankle injury that had him extremely limited in Detroit's last game.
Reggie Bush injury update: Lions RB doubtful, should sit for fantasy owners

Bush also missed Detroit's Week 6 game against the Minnesota Vikings due to the injury. He was then limited in practice the following week and was active for Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. But he didn't do anything in that game, as he rushed the ball four times for 10 yards and caught five passes for 22 yards. In other words, he was a non-factor.
Fantasy Impact: If Bush were to somehow play this game against the Falcons, smart money would be on him to once again be a non-factor. He won't get a ton of carries, and Theo Riddick will get all of his targets in the passing game. Joique Bell will take most of the carries. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere, even if Bush winds up being active for this game, though he likely won't.
