    Mikel Leshoure

    If you have him, you're in great position. He will be a top 7-8 fantasy back the rest of the way. Detroit has been dying for a guy they can give the ball to 20 times a game and throw 3-4 passes too. He will get about a 16-18 ppg average.

    Trade for him if you can, and if he is on waivers, CLAIM Him

    I have him in a few leagues. Can't imagine being in a league where he hasn't been claimed yet.

    Not sure about a top 7-8 back, but he could easily be a top 12-15 RB.

    Not a top 7 or 8, he is a top 5 back

    Is he worth burning a #1 waiver on and dropping Cedric benson(you can only carry 4 rbs)

    Im afraid best will eventually find his way back and cut into some carries

    Ha, I would not worry about Best coming back. If he does, he'll be KO'ed by halftime, similar to Collie last week.

    And no way is LeShoure a top 5 RB. Ray Rice, Arian Foster, Shady McCoy already claim the top 3 hands down. Then you have to talk about him being better than MJD, McFadden, Lynch, AP. Top 5? No. Top 10 Maybe. Top 12-15? Definitely yes.

    I hope he is a top 5 RB because I own him. Hope you all prove me wrong. What does everyone think about LeShoure this week against MIN. MIN has been STOUT against the run so far.

    He will run well against the Vikes. They will have a letdown I think after their big win.

    Picked up Leshoure last week, didn't start him, but still ended up winning by 3. Excited to get past that blunder, he'll be in my lineup every week unless he's not healthy.

    As for this week's matchup, the Vikes have played the run well. Might not see the production he had last week, but I don't see why 50-75 yards and a score isn't doable.

    As an everydown back that will likely face a lot of nickel defenses, LeShoure should be able to get close to 100 yards from scrimmage with a chance at a TD every game. Making him a very solid RB2. Probably going to sit him against the stout Vikings run defense.

    he was drafted in my league would be nice to have him as an RB2 or flex for sure...although what is it im reading about him with a groin injury?

    it's nothing. I heard they limited him in practice, but more for precautionary reasons and rest.

    yeah I wouldn't be too afraid of the Vikings Run D just yet... after just 3 games

    I'm a big fan of Leshoure, he saved me last week; I had matt forte and fred jackson (my 2nd and 3rd round picks) both out

    He could be the missing piece and be a huge fantasy star this year
