Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush is inactive against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. He suffered an injury in Week 10 and the news has been pessimistic on his for the entire week leading up to his big matchup.
Theo Riddick and Joique Bell benefit in fantasy with Reggie Bush out

The Lions did not miss Bush last week and Theo Riddick has really stepped up. He's has a seamless transition in the lineup and has taken on most of Bush's carries without a problem. In fact, he has three receiving TDs, including a game-winner last week.
Addiitonally, Joique Bell has been solid. he's yet to really turn in a big game, but he's a capable featured guy. The Lions do not have a great matchup against the toughest run D in the NFL -- it's also in Arizona.
Fantasy impact: The opportunity trumps the matchup for Bell, so he’s a nice RB2. Riddick can be viewed as a low-end RB2 in PPR leagues. If you have to cut Bush in a standard, it’s not a bad idea.
