2012 Outlook: Sleeper (undervalued)

Last updated on Aug-12-2012 by Matt De Lima

Detroit's potent offense is worthy of close examination because the players who earn the most touches inevitably will score a lot of fantasy points. After missing his entire rookie year, Mikel Leshoure has a ton of potential. For those who hadn't heard, Leshoure will face a two-game suspension after pleading guilty to a possession of marijuana charge in early May. Putting that suspension aside, Leshoure is the main backup behind Jahvid Best, a player with a known injury history. If fantasy owners can grab Leshoure as a late-round flier, the upside makes him a worthwhile selection especially since he figures to be Detroit's goal-line back.

Update (8/12): Leshoure anticipates that he'll return to practice sometime in the next week.

2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	9.10	CBSSports.com - Lots of ways to go with this pick, but I like Leshoure a lot. I think he will easily be Detroit's best RB this season.
