The Detroit Lions will be without Reggie Bush for another week as he will be inactive against the New England Patriots. He's still dealing with an ankle injury and was very limited in practice all week. This leaves Joique Bell and Theo Riddick with the workload. Bell is coming off a 14 carries for 85 yards performance on the ground. Riddick is assumed to be primarily used on passing plays, but he hasn't done much since Week 8. He had three receptions for 22 yards and two carries for 2 yards in Week 11.
Reggie Bush injury update: Lions RB inactive, Joique Bell primed for fantasy owners again
Reggie Bush is inactive yet again. We take a look at what it means for fantasy owners.


Fantasy impact: At this point, fantasy owners are probably accustomed to not having Bush at their disposal on a weekly basis. In other words, there are likely contingency plans in place for fantasy owners already. Bell owners should consider him an RB2 for the week. He’s been producing more and more by the week, and the Patriots are below average in fantasy points allowed to running backs. Riddick will be a complete roll of the dice. He’s very risky, but if the Lions are taking his pass catching abilities seriously, one would think they’d involve Riddick against the Patriots offense.
