Reggie Bush practicing in full, should play against Buccaneers; fantasy value low


Reggie Bush is back to full practices and should be able to play in Week 14. We break down the fantasy implications.


Detroit Lions' running back Reggie Bush has been a full participant in practice this week, and seems to be sufficiently recovered from his ankle injury. Bush was a limited participant in practice last week and missed Detroit's most recent game, a 34-17 win over the Chicago Bears. Bush also missed Detroit's previous two games, both losses, and his spot on the depth chart is kind of a mystery at this point.


Bush is second on the team in rushing yardage, but that doesn't mean much as the Lions have been one of the worst rushing teams in the league this season. Joique Bell leads the way with 164 carries for 581 yards and five touchdowns. Bush has 53 carries for 191 yards and a touchdown. He also has 26 receptions for 169 yards and was replaced by Theo Riddick in the passing game.


Fantasy Impact: Bush can be expected to regain his role on passing downs, but that doesn't exactly guarantee he'll be worth looking at from a fantasy perspective. He's a far cry from the productive back he once was, and it's hard to imagine him getting much more than 10-12 touches overall Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
