Mikel Leshoure - Done for the Year (Torn Achilles)
Posted on 8/8/11 at 11:12 am

Mikel Leshoure is out for the season after tearing his Achilles' tendon in Monday's practice.
Leshoure was expected to serve as a power back and short-yardage complement to starter Jahvid Best. Now the second-round pick is facing a full year of rehab after suffering one of the most severe injuries an athlete can have. With only Maurice Morris and Aaron Brown left as backups pending a possible free agent addition or trade, Best's projected touches get a nice boost. He could also even see some goal-line work.

Upgrade J. Best but will be stay healthy?

He was made of glass as well. He's a FA and the Lions stated that they would not resign him. This may change things...

That's not good for the Lions. They better hope Best has a good year.

another reason to never draft before September
Wonder if any "big" names will go down this year. I still have nightmares of drafting Vick and Chad Pennington the year both broke their legs in preseason

Good news for Best owners

This is why im drafting on the 28th. Best's value is augmented by this news.

RB or any position?
Posted on 8/8/11 at 12:45 pm to CajunFootball
W/R Will work but i already have 2 WR and a RB on my bench...i had 2WR and 2RBs on the bench but best available would work.

I think this is not so great news for Best. In order for him to have agood season, he needs someone to take some of the pounding. Now he is really the main guy so I see him getting hurt, yet again.

I was looking I saw people like Davone Bess was available...He did pretty good for me last year...IDK what his production will look like this year though

Hoping i can get jahvid in the 5th.

I don't know, the emails I was getting were acting like Leshoure was going to cut significantly into Best's touches. Significant as in 60/40 split.
