Lions RB Joique Bell has been ruled out for Week 5

Detroit Lions running back Joique Bell has been ruled out for Week 5. He is dealing with an ankle injury, which appears to be a setback from offseason surgery. Bell has not practiced since Week 3 and there is no timetable for his return. He is considered week to week at this point.

Fantasy Analysis:

With Bell out, Ameer Abdullah will be the lead back in Detroit. Predictably, Abdullah has been inconsistent and disappointing to this point. He struggled against the Seattle Seahawks last week and things won't get all that much easier against the Arizona Cardinals this week.
