RB Mikel Leshoure has received a somewhat surprising number of first-team reps with the Detroit Lions in training camp. He's listed third on the depth chart.

And it appears he'll play quite a bit Saturday night when Detroit opens the preseason with a game against the Cleveland Browns.

But Leshoure likely won't be a significant contributor once the season begins, with Reggie Bush and Joique Bell entrenched atop the depth chart. Theo Riddick almost certainly will be the No. 3, with his growing role in the passing game and contributions on special teams.

Fantasy Impact: 

Why is he playing so much and getting first team reps - the story says it's possible the Lions are looking to deal him, something that's actually been talked about long before this. Now that Riddick appears to have passed him on the depth chart, the Lions are better off moving him for something else.

Lions RB Mikel Leshoure was listed ahead of Theo Riddick on the team's first depth chart.

Fantasy Impact: 

This may not mean much, but it takes a bit of wind out of Riddick's sails. The team could also be setting up Leshoure for a feature role in a preseason game only to drive up his trade value.

Detroit Lions tailback Mikel Leshoure acknowledges there was a point last season when he realized he would not get an opportunity to play under the old coaching staff.

But he says he never wavered in his belief that he can be a productive NFL tailback, if given an opportunity. And he says he'll find that opportunity this year, whether it's in Detroit or elsewhere.

"I feel like I'll get a role somewhere," he said, when asked after practice Monday whether he'd prefer to move on if he can't land a job in Detroit. "So I'm going to think about that right now."

Leshoure was selected in the second round of the 2011 draft, then led the Lions in rushing a year later. But he plummeted down the depth chart in 2013.

Fantasy Impact: 

Reggie Bush was signed in 2013 and the emergence of Joique Bell pushed Leshoure down the chart. Now this season, there is hype around sixth-round draft pick Theo Riddick. Seems like Leshoure may have to get a fresh start somewhere else.

Lions RBs Reggie Bush and Joique Bell aren’t going anywhere. Theo Riddick was one of the stars of the spring and looks like he’ll end up having a role in the offense beyond special teams this season. Mikel Leshoure missed part of spring workouts, so it is tough to say where his role will be this season, if he has one. But Detroit has its first three running backs pretty set right now unless it makes a free-agent move at the position.
