Joique Bell has officially been ruled as he deals with a concussion suffered in Week 4. This leaves Reggie Bush as the pure lead back for the Detroit Lions in Week 5. The Buffalo Bills have been tough against the run, but Bush is a threat in the passing game as well. The Bills will be starting quarterback Kyle Orton, and it's likely that the game will at least be within reach of the Lions for the entire contest. Of course, it's also very possible that the Lions maintain a healthy lead, which offers more opportunity for Bush as the Lions work at controlling the clock.

Fantasy impact: While the match up isn’t a complete cakewalk, the situation couldn’t be much better for Bush owners. He should be locked in as an RB1 in all formats. He has incredible upside in PPR leagues. It shouldn’t be an issue finding room for Bush in your lineup, but if you’re strong at the position, get Bush into your lineup no matter what.
