I love bush... (1 Viewer)

I think he is in line for a good number of carries this week, but against a tough Buffalo defense. For the McFadden owners who are sure he will be just fine, great, have fun with that. I want to talk about where Bush ranks if he gets the majority of carries this week. Do you play him over the Patriots RBs, Ricky or Ronnie, how about Willis or Ray Rice in Baltimore? I like Bush, but don't quite have a handle yet on where I think he should be ranked.

I've got Bush sitting behind Forte and Steven Jackson, so maybe there's no comparison there. I do like Morris and Ronnie in that matchup. The question is how sure anyone is about McFadden.

those were just examples. Personally I am considering whether to play him over LenDale White as my flex.

Wrong forum?

I don't like Bush vs Buff at home, probably splitting carries with RunDMC.

I love Morris this week though.

Trimmed? Sorry, I had to do that.

I like him also, but he is a very risky play. DMC could get most of the carries. I wouldn't bench a sure thing for him.

i'm taking that risk for my flex. Starting Michael bush over Larry Johnson. Already got Marshawn Lynch and Clinton Portis. Raiders aren't a very good team but they can sure run. I think Buffalo's rush defense stat is a little misleading; they went against Jax with a banged up front O line, and Seattle...julius jones....cmon.

20 carries, 110 yards and a td for Bush this week

This guy is truly a beast! I've stated this all along. All he needs is an opportunity. The rest of the league will be in for quite an eye-opener as I do not expect the Raiders running game to miss a beat if McFadden is limited vs. Buffalo, which I believe he will be (very limited). Last week was just a teaser for Bush to be introduced and this week he will be unleashed in full effect. Of the guys that you mentioned, none have the potential of Bush this week. I would not be surprised to see 100-125 yds rushing, 4-5 rec for another 30+ yds from him this week. If Fargas is out more than a couple of weeks, then I doubt that he will EVER get back into the rotation.......D-Mac + Bush will be one of the best 1-2 RB combos in the entire league from here on out.......

Prevailing wisdom i'm reading on the web seems to be that DMC will get the vast majority of carries but i think i'm still going to go bush. i think they're understating the turf toe injury and there's no reason to run him hard this week; a split start seems in order.

but i'm also choosing between him and chris perry against the G-men, so if he runs for more than 35 yards he'll be a much better pick than perry.

I'm starting him over LT.. other option is Ronnie Brown.. Hoping DMC's turf toe is akin to LT's and he comes out of the game (or it severely limits his carries), opening the door for Bush... honestly, at this point, I could flip a coin..
