Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle) is inactive for today’s game against the Patriots. He put in 3 limited practices this week, but Detroit is holding him out until he’s back to 100%. Theo Riddick gets another game as the pass-catching back, but he’s just a low-end RB3 or flex in PPR leagues.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora hears that Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle) will not play against the Patriots on Sunday.  Bush put in 3 limited practices this week and is listed as questionable.  "Not ready to go yet," La Canfora said. "Still working to get back."  That'll give Theo Riddick another game as Detroit's pass-catching RB, but he's just a lower-end flex option in PPR leagues.

Lions RB Reggie Bush told reporters Monday that he expects to play Sunday at New England. He has been dealing with an ankle sprain for 6 weeks and missed 3 contests over that span. According to MLive.com, Bush said he felt nearly 100% healthy before the Week 10 visit by Miami. But Dolphins DT Jared Odrick rolled up on the back of his leg and forced Bush out in the 1st quarter. "The way my ankle got bent, if I didn't have an ankle injury, I would have had one after that play," he said. We'd still try not to use Bush in fantasy in Week 12 -- or at all until he makes it through a game with a decent workload. Bush's presence would also hurt the fantasy outlook for Lions RB Theo Riddick, though Joique Bell's usage and value should remain just fine.

As expected, Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle) is inactive for today’s game against the Cardinals. RB Theo Riddick will step in as Detroit’s pass-catching RB and is a flex option in PPR leagues. Bush’s absence should also mean a few extra touches for RB Joique Bell.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle) won't play against the Cardinals today.  Bush has been ineffective on that bum ankle, so Detroit is holding him out until he's closer to 100%.  Theo Riddick will step in as the Lions' pass-catching RB, making him an intriguing RB3 or flex in PPR leagues.  Riddick racked up 13 catches, 149 yards and 2 TDs with Bush out for 2 games earlier this year.

CBS' Jason La Canfora reports that Lions RB Reggie Bush will miss Sunday's game at Arizona with his injured ankle. Bush had been listed as questionable, so it's not a shocking development, and the early decision helps fantasy owners. RB Theo Riddick now becomes a nice upside play in PPR leagues, while Joique Bell faces less competition for carries in a poor matchup. Don't stick Bush in a fantasy lineup until he proves he can make it through a full game.

Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.  He didn't practice all week, though, and HC Jim Caldwell admitted that he's considering holding Bush out until he's closer to 100%.  Insider Tim Twentyman considers Bush "unlikely" to play.  That makes Theo Riddick an intriguing RB3 or flex in PPR leagues.  He totaled 13 catches, 149 yards and 2 TDs (plus 11 rushing yards) in 2 games without Bush earlier this season.

Lions HC Jim Caldwell admitted that he's considered sitting RB Reggie Bush to get his ankle back to 100%.  It'd be a smart move, especially considering Detroit has a viable replacement in Theo Riddick.  Consider Bush 50-50 for this weekend's game against the Cardinals, but he'll be a shaky fantasy start if he plays.

Lions HC Jim Caldwell said that he'll use both Theo Riddick and Reggie Bush going forward.  Riddick has clearly been the more effective player this season, averaging 11.5 yards per catch and scoring on 2 of his 13 grabs.  Bush has averaged just 6.6 yards per catch without a TD (not to mention 3.5 yards per carry).  We'll have to see exactly how the workload is split between these 2 guys going forward, but Bush is becoming tough to trust in fantasy lineups.  Riddick could be a RB3 or flex option if he can get 8-10 touches per game.

Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle) is inactive for this morning's game in London. That makes RB Theo Riddick a sneaky-strong PPR option for fantasy owners in need. Riddick caught 5 balls for 75 yards and a TD vs. Minnesota his last time out, despite leaving early with a hamstring injury. In addition to Bush, Detroit will also miss WR Calvin Johnson and its top 3 TEs today against Atlanta. That leaves plenty of targets on the field.

Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Falcons.  It looks like he suffered a setback on Wednesday because he didn't practice on Thursday or Friday.  RB Theo Riddick is set to return from his hamstring injury and will play the Bush role this weekend.  He was impressive in his brief Week 6 showing, hauling in 5 balls for 75 yards and a TD.  Riddick is on the RB3/flex radar in PPR leagues.  Joique Bell will serve as Detroit's lead back and is a must-start against a leaky Falcons defense.

Lions RB Reggie Bush (ankle) is active for today’s game against the Saints. He’s averaged 14.3 touches in his 4 full games this season. Bush is a solid RB2 in a plus matchup. RB Theo Riddick (hamstring) is inactive.

Lions RB Theo Riddick left in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game with a hamstring injury.  We're guessing it's the same hammy that had him inactive last week.  Riddick was looking good in the Reggie Bush role before exiting, racking up 5 catches for 75 yards and a score.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that the Lions are "not planning" on having RB Reggie Bush (ankle) for today's game against the Vikings.  No surprise there.  Bush is listed as questionable but was unable to practice all week.  Look for Joique Bell to serve as Detroit's lead back and see 15+ touches today.  RBs Theo Riddick and George Winn will mix in behind Bell.

"I'm still hopeful, so we'll see," Bush said Friday.  Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official website considers Bush "unlikely" to play this weekend.  Look for RB Joique Bell to serve as the lead back, with RB Theo Riddick mixing in as a change-of-pace.

Lions RB Joique Bell (concussion) put in his 2nd straight full practice on Thursday.  Barring a setback, he'll be back for this weekend's game against the Vikings.  RB Reggie Bush (ankle) remained sidelined on Thursday, leaving him even iffier for Sunday.  Bell could be looking at around 20 touches if both Bush and WR Calvin Johnson are out.  RB Theo Riddick (hamstring) has also put in 2 full practices this week and will likely serve as the #2 RB.

Lions RB Joique Bell (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Bills. He was cleared for physical activity on Friday, so it looks like he’s on track to return for Week 6. RB Theo Riddick (hamstring) is also out this week, leaving the backfield to Reggie Bush and George Winn. Bush is a good bet for 20+ touches.

Lions RB Theo Riddick was back on the practice field Monday.  He left Saturday's preseason opener with an abdomen injury, but it clearly wasn't anything serious.  Although Riddick probably missed a chance at some additional action in that game, he remains an intriguing late-round flier in PPR leagues.

Lions RB Theo Riddick entered Saturday night's preseason opener on the 2nd series but left after his 1st touch with an abdominal injury.  The play went for a 9-yard reception before a bit hit by Browns S Donte Whitner knocked Riddick out of the game.  There's no word yet on the severity, though it doesn't seem like an issue that should cost him too much time.  Riddick, of course, could use as much game action as possible to prove that his practice buzz can carry over.
