Detroit Lions RB Mikel Leshoure carried 13 times for 26 yards in the Week 4 loss against the Minnesota Vikings, and he added 37 yards on four receptions. He took a major step backward after posting 100 rushing yards in his NFL debut in Week 3.

Our View: Leshoure was often meeting a defender in the backfield and still made a few miss. His legs looked fresh, but the Lions running game did not get on track. He’ll be a matchup RB2 and every week flex going forward, as the good news is that he was still the feature back.
