Picked up Bush 16th round which I can keep for the next 5 years at that spot. Can't understand why he can't overtake the startering spot with McFadden injured. He's better runner than Fargas...Even Davis said he was one of the Raider's playmaker's...So what gives?

He even though he plays on a crappy team...Raiders should try to establish the running game with him first. They somewhat succeeded towards the end of last season and Russell started to play more decent.

Any insight "Raider Nation" and is he worth retaining taking space on my roster going forward the next 5 years?

Doesn't appear like he'll get traded.

He's definitely not a drop yet and he has the best ypc of any back on the team. I wouldn't worry too much about his role in dynasty because there is a good chance that there will be a new coach next season and who knows at that point? All the backs will have a chance to win the starting back fresh. His value is limited being on the Raides but I do believe that he will leave and be a good starting back somewhere when his contract expires like Turner did. How long you can hang onto him depends on how deep your roster is but I have no intention of dropping him and I have 22 on roster.

I'm holding on to him. He is a FA after 2010 season. There was some speculation that Al featured Fargas yesterday b/c the trade deadline is approaching. I like Bush long term. Right now, the team is a mess, and they haven't given him carries. Don't know if that changes later in the season or not.In my perfect world, Bush gets dealt to cleveland for Brady Quinn. Thats how bad the Raiders are. Oh, if ONLY HE WERE IN CLEVELAND bad.

I am holding him in Dynasty b/c I think he's got the size, hands, and speed to be a feature back in the NFL. Just hoping for some opportunity.

I just drafted him as my RB4/5 in a startup dynasty. I too believe he's in the same situation as Michael Turner was in SD, except that DMac is no prime LT, so he might see the field on a full-time basis much sooner than we think.Otoh, he couldn't hold off Fargas this weekend. Tough call, but he's a definite hold in dynasty.
