RB Reggie Bush, NO
<< Back to Profiles List
Reggie Bush is going to be a risky pick in upcoming fantasy drafts. Bush has been plagued by injuries and ineffective rushing throughout his young career. When healthy, Bush is one of the league's best at catching the ball out of the backfield, averaging about 5.5 catches per game in his career. Bush has another roadblock in his way this season, Pierre Thomas. Thomas had a major impact on the Saints' running game at the end of 2008 and will be a large part of the Saints backfield in 2009. This leaves the Saints with a dilemma on how to use Bush. If Bush gets 10 carries and 6 catches out of the backfield each game, he can still be an effective fantasy running back, especially in point per reception leagues. Another problem with drafting Reggie Bush is that he is a big name, flashy player who will probably go a round or two earlier than he deserves to based on his name. Unless Reggie Bush slips to around the 5th or 6th round, there are simply too many issues surrounding him to make him a good value pick. Bush will be a high risk/high reward player for fantasy owners this season.

ThunderingBlurb.com - As is always the case at my spot, there are several ways to go. But in a league which only requires 2 WRs, but needs 2 RBs (even with PPR scoring) I want to fill out my RB tandem first. It was between several players here and while he's got some injury issues and hasn't actually achieved what we expected him to, Reggie Bush has the opportunity to be a nice #2 in this format. I may have to be extra careful with the rest of my RBS to make sure they can fill in should he go down but I think the risk is worth the potential reward. |

FantasySharks.com - In a PPR league Bush has the potential to put a lot of points on the board. This continues my streak of drafting all players with the same bye week. Now to find a WR with a Week 5 Bye. |

ThunderingBlurb.com - Microfracture surgery is a worry but if he stays healthy, in a PPR league he's a very solid #2. Will have to be careful though as now both my RBs have some injury concerns. This means solid picks are a must for any backups - but there is value to be had all over the board and I think it keeps dropping. |
