Summary

Running Back Rank: #35
Overall: #106

Leshoure suffered a torn Achilles before the start of the season, missing his entire rookie year. He was hurt very early last year, though, and is right on track to be ready for the start of the coming year. He should be practicing without limitations during training camp. As long as he is healthy, Leshoure has a chance to play a prominent role in the Lions' offense. Jahvid Best is no sure thing after his concussion issues last season, meaning Leshoure could shoulder much of the load at running back for Detroit. Leshoure is a big back that does well between the tackles. He can move the pile with his size and strength. Leshoure also does pretty well as a receiver and could blossom in that role with more seasoning. He seems a good fit for the Lions' offense.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Leshoure is a scary pick after last season but he certainly has a lot of upside. Consider him a top No. 3 back for fantasy teams. If he gets the goal-line work, which seems likely, his touchdown totals should be very high. A season with around 1,000 total yards and double-digit score is a real possibility.

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz would not say Sunday, April 22, whether he has spoken with OT Johnny Culbreath, DL Nick Fairley or RB Mikel Leshoure, three players arrested and cited for possession of marijuana in the past three months. '(We'll) address it,' Schwartz said. 'We're not happy that the player have put themselves and the organization in that light. There's a lot of lessons we learn from it.'

Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand said the team expects RB Mikel Leshoure, OT Johnny Culbreath and DT Nick Fairley to be in attendance for the start of offseason workouts even though each was arrested on marijuana-related charges earlier this offseason.

Detroit Lions RB Mikel Leshoure has been involved in two separate instances where he was caught in possession of marijuana over the last two months. He was first cited for marijuana possession during a traffic stop Feb. 18, but pleaded to a lesser charge of use of marijuana and paid a fine. He was the passenger in a car March 12, when he was caught with marijuana possession for the second time.

Fantasy Impact: This isn't good for the young back. One offense can lead to nothing but two should get him some sort of suspension. Stay tuned.
