Summary

Running Back Rank: #41
Overall: #133

Best suffered a season-ending concussion Week 6. He has a history of concussion issues and this is a big concern going forward. His future seems a little murky right now. Best did play pretty well before suffering the concussion, though. He had 677 total yards and three touchdowns in six games. He was on his way to a breakout season. Best was much improved as a runner than his rookie season, averaging 4.6 yards per carry after averaging just 3.2 the previous year. As long as he is healthy, Best should shoulder much of the load at running back for the Lions. His smallish stature is a concern, which could limit his touches some, but he played his entire rookie season before getting hurt last year. Best has top speed and does a great job of hitting the hole. Best sets up his blocks well, making a lot of big plays in both the rushing and passing game. He is a very good receiver, having 85 receptions in two seasons.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Best is a risk because of his concussion issues. He is going to be a boom or bust pick. He certainly has the potential for huge things in this offense, which makes him intriguing for fantasy teams. If healthy and playing a full season, Best could get 1,600 total yards and eight to 10 touchdowns. But you can't draft him on that potential. Consider him a top No. 3 back and hope he comes back healthy.
