Lions to place Jahvid Best on IR

The Detroit Free Press

Nov 25, 2011 · 5:03 PM EST

The Detroit Lions announced today they will place running Jahvid Best on season-ending injured reserve because of ongoing concussion problems. The move is not expected to become official until next week.

"Definitely expect him to be back next year," [his agent] TonyFleming said. "Being put on IR is more precautionary because he’s continuing to see specialists, and he’s just being evaluated still. It seems to be in the best interests to sit him for the season, but there’s nothing long-term that’s been established."

Fantasy Impact:

Feel free to cut Best in redraft leagues. His value in keeper leagues is unclear, given his injury history and the emergence of Kevin Smith (or even Mikel Leshoure) as his possible replacement. If Best is completely healthy heading into next season, he'll likely be a mid-round (5th-8th) pick as part of a RBBC in Detroit.

The Detroit Lions claimed big running back Keiland Williams off waivers Sunday, and may have found someone to fill the offensive role the Lions expected rookie Mikel Leshoure to play before he tore his Achilles' tendon and ended his season prematurely.

Physically, the 5-foot-11, 230-pounder is almost identical to Mikel Leshoure -- one of Detroit's second-round picks in this year's draft -- who was lost for the season when he tore his Achilles' tendon at the start of training camp.

Before signing with Washington, Hightower played for three years in Arizona, where he was a very productive runner. He started 16 of the 48 games he played in, and carried the ball 439 times for 1,733 yards and 23 touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact:

This situation is worth watching given the fragility of Jahvid Best.
