I think in Re-Draft leagues... next season in the ADPs you'll see something like: LT going #1 in ~60% of ADP, and LJ going #1 in ~40%. LJ has been running wild over EVERYONE in the past few weeks. Dunno if KC will keep that phenomenal offensive line intact (not sure if any are FAs), but they've done a helluva job for LJ this year.In no particular order:
LT LJ SA Edge then

Way to ressurect this thread?! Anyways even after a stellar first game I don't think the LT vs. Bush comparison is valid yet. Wait until midseason and we'll see what we have.
I do, however, think that picking Bush in round 4 in my PPR keeper league (keep 1 player after round 4) was an insanely good deal...

Bush will be the #1 Fantasy back taken next year in PPR leagues.No sarcasm at all here Dr.

Bush owners will still have to worry about Deuce take carries from Bush.

Not much to go on, I realize ... BUT: my hunch is that this situation works it's way out in Bush's favor before the 2007 season opener.

I have a feeling that problem will have worked itself out by then.I'm not saying Bush should be #1 next year in PPR, in fact, I disagree, but I don't expect that competition to still be there next year.

Okay, I think most everyone agrees that in PPR leagues Bush is paving the way for greatness.
Now I ask you how many touches turn into Touch Downs? How many TD's will Bush score this year, then next?
I'll guess 8 to 9 total TD's in 2006, 6 rush and 2-3 receiving.
In 2007 bump that to 10 rush and 4 receiving.

When are you speaking? Now? 2007? 2008?I think it's realistic this year he can finish Top 5 if he's used the same way he was Sunday.

That sounds about right.I think the most encouraging sign is that he was given a shot at the goalline once last game. Hopefully he can prove himself there.If he does, THEN we have this discussion. Not before.
I see the Bush/Deuce situation being similar to Sundays game for the next 3 seasons. Why take Deuce off the field when you can line him up in the backfield and split Reggie out wide? It's a great situation for a creative OC to take advantage of two great talents, without wearing either one out. I see Bush around these stats for his early career:
1000/1100 yards rushing
850/1000 yards receiving
95/100 receptions
9/10 TDs
In addition, the O-Line looked very good against a decent Browns D, and are rather young with no experience together. Throw in two talented young WRs to take the pressure off the running game, and this will be a very dynamic offense barring injuries.

Worst thread ever...(I could understand this topic in December, maybe.)

I own Bush in my Dynasty and I love him dearly. But there is not a chance in hell Bush outscores LT this year or next year, barring injury. N o t p o s s i b l e. LT is the ENTIRE offense for SD. He carries the ball just about constantly, and when he's not running it he's catching it. He's in at the goal line and he is successful. SD has a nice defense to keep things relevant. He is in a division that weaker defensively than Bush. He is proven, he does it against every defense thrown at him, and he does it in every way imaginable.Now, Bush is going to be the next Faulk, I don't have a doubt in my mind. I'm not talking about skill sets, I'm talking about point totals. He is going to amass obscene yardage and streak into the endzone at a similar clip. But while it may "begin" next year, it's not going to reach its apex for at least a couple years.Worst thread ever...(I could understand this topic in December, maybe.)
