Joique Bell, Reggie Bush, Theo Riddick's Post-Week 15 Fantasy Reaction

There's only one running back worth playing from the Detroit Lions, and his name is Joique Bell.

Once again establishing himself as Detroit's top dog, Bell received the bulk of the carries while also factoring into the pass-catching game against the Minnesota Vikings. 

Player	Rush	Rush YDs	YPC	TD	Rec.	Rec. YDs
Joique Bell	14	62	4.1	0	4	41
Reggie Bush	3	7	2.3	0	1	10
Theo Riddick	1	4	4.0	0	0	0

After netting over 50 receptions in back-to-back seasons, Bell fell off in that area, instead becoming a greater focal point on the ground. It's promising to see him do both during recent weeks, especially with two vulnerable NFC North defenses in the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers coming up.

Treat Bell as a high-end No. 2 running back as the season winds down.

The Lions gave Bell owners a scare by starting the game with Theo Riddick. Josh Moore of 4for4 Fantasy Football noted the odd beginning.

That, however, marked his only touch of the game. The four-yard run extended his season tally all the way up to 51 rushing yards. He also hasn't caught a pass during the past two games, so drop him if he's still occupying a roster spot.

Reggie Bush's return threatened Bell's heavy usage, but he has failed to make an impact all season. The 29-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown since Sept. 21, so don't feel bad for dumping Bush just because he's a household name.
