The Detroit Lions placed RB Kevin Jones on PUP with an injured foot.
KJ still isn't healthy enough to play, and the Lions are doing the smart thing here by allowing him 6 additional weeks of rest and hoping he's available by week 6. KJ continues to mend from the Lisfranc foot fracture he suffered last year.
Fantasy Impact: None that wasn't expected. Tatum Bell will start and have the most fantasy value, and he'll continue to start until KJ returns unless he gets hurt. He's a solid RB3/Flex player with upside to be an RB2 depending on how many carries he'll get. Bell has had problems in short yardage and goal line situations, so the Lions also signed T.J. Duckett over the offseason to fill that role as he did for the Atlanta Falcons prior to his trade to the Redskins. Favor Duckett in TD-heavy leagues, although this just further confirms that the Lions will be throwing as much as any team in the NFL this season.
