Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell has been a consistent but low-ceiling fantasy play this season. Always a good bet to end up in the 10-15 carry range, Bell is averaging just under 72 yards per game, 49 of which come on the ground where he has found the end zone three times. His 3.6 YPC average could stand to improve but he's a crucial part of Detroit's rushing attack. Reggie Bush is likely to make his return this week, but he'll factor in more on passing downs. Theo Riddick will also be in the mix, but isn't a huge threat to Bell's workload.
Fantasy start/sit advice, Week 12: Joique Bell
The Lions running back has been solid and consistent. Can he keep it going in Week 12?

Fantasy Impact: Bell has a favorable matchup in the New England Patriots. Their defense gives up the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Although Bell isn't a great bet to see more than 15 carries with Bush and Riddick healthy, he'll remain a solid RB2 play in both standard and PPR formats.
