Lions stars Reggie Bush (doubtful), Calvin Johnson (game-time decision) on injury report
Two of the Detroit Lions biggest offensive threats are both on the injury report for their Sunday matchup with the Atlanta Falcons in London. Running back Reggie Bush is officially listed as doubtful and is unlikely to play. Star receiver Calvin Johnson is listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision.Bush is second on the team in rushing yards with 171 and in receptions with 25. He has been bothered by an ankle injury for a couple of weeks. Johnson, who has missed the past two weeks due to a sprained ankle, is still second on the team in receiving yards with 348 and is tied for a team-best two TD catches with WR Golden Tate.In Bush's absence, the brunt of the running load would fall to Joique Bell, with Theo Riddick seeing any extra work.
This is unfortunate for Bush owners, but if you have Bell, this is good news. The Falcons allow the most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Expect a big day from Joique.Riddick is a sneaky flex play with Bush out. In Week 6, Riddick was used in the passing game and had a nice fantasy day, with five catches, 75 yards and a score. If Johnson ends up sitting out as well, this only elevates Riddick's value in the passing game.If you have Megatron and he's an option for you this week, be sure to check in earlier than normal. The Lions-Falcons game, being played in London, will be kicking off at 9:30 a.m. Eastern. Megatron's absence would mean a big uptick Tate, as he would be the main guy in the passing game yet again.
