Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell has been ruled out of Sunday's contest versus the Buffalo Bills.
Joique Bell injury update: Lions RB ruled out, Reggie Bush set to boost fantasy lineups
With Joique Bell sidelined with a concussion, the stage is set for a big afternon from Reggie Bush. We break down the fantasy implications.

Though he was cleared for physical activity on Friday, Bell won't see game action since he was unable to practice all week after leaving during the third quarter of Week 4's bout with the New York Jets. Backfield counterpart Theo Riddick will also be shelved due to a hamstring injury, leaving Reggie Bush in line for a massive role on Sunday.
Fantasy Spin: Bush owners can fire him up with confidence this week, as they will have a home-run threat in line to monopolize the team’s rushing attack. Though the Bills defense has been stout versus the ground game so far, the volume of Bush’s workload, the firepower of his offense and his standalone talent make him a worthy RB1 this week.
Bell owners should expect him back in their lineups for an enticing Week 6 matchup versus the Minnesota Vikings.
