If he can stay healthy. This year was the first time (IMO) when he could be considered a good value pick. I was surprised he was still available when I picked at 8.08 (12 team redraft, .5 PPR); made me feel stupid for being one of the owners letting him slide that far.

Maybe it is the year, but hes a virtual lock to tear something in his knee and be out for 4-6 weeks at some point.

Bush started turning the corner last year as a running back. He really started to be stronger and faster up the interior of the line and then fighting through tackles. He had been the escape artist up until that time and the style wasn't working for him. This could be a big year for RB because for once he is healthy (Knock on wood) I still think he lacks the size to be an every down back but he can certainly become a better back this year to go with his already crazy receiving skills. This is a contract year for Reggie as well as PT. The Saints are not likely to offer a big pay day to both Bush and Pierre so I think both backs know this is a big year in the greater scheme of things. Add to that Chris Ivory who could develop and be the pounding punishing runner that Deuce Mcallister used to be and that leaves the door open for someone to leave next year. I think Bush and PT are both going to amp it up this year as a result. Also there have not been many changes on the offensive line with exception of Jamaal Brown (Traded to the Skins) Brown missed much of the season last year as well as the playoffs.

Locals are very, very, very positive on Reggie of late (and, no, it has not always been like that from a football standpoint). Everyone in NO seems to think he is ready for a great season.
His running style has become up & down, north & south, not sideline to sideline, and he is 100% healthy. His on-site conditioning and training dedication was noted during the off-season as well. Look to the breakaway TD run vs the Cards in the playoffs last year, maybe something just turned "on" for him.

In PPR a major value as he slipped in my redraft to 7.03. I just couldn't let him slip any further.I agree with about his his value is great this year and if he stays healthy his upside is too great to ignore.

He'll never be Marshall Faulk but he'll continue to be a huge playmaker and valuable asset for an NFL team.
