I'd rather have Patterson than Bush. Bush is the kind of guy that will never see your lineup except after a fluke game where he scores 2 TD's and then he ruins your next week because you think he's back. You probably won't ever feel comfortable enough to cut him. I'd rather take a shot with Patterson getting it together and if not, just cut him.
Bush has more receptions than Patterson in fewer games. He's more consistent, productive, and plays at a more premium position. Looks like a no brainer to me.
Seems odd to prefer a guy because you're more likely to cut him.
I think most would agree with it. It obviously depends on the situation but assuming I'm getting by just fine without needing Bush or Patterson, I'd rather have the guy with a huge ceiling and is also easier to move on from. I feel like Bush is one of the guys that it would be really hard to cut, but you're not really going to want to start him either. Patterson is more of a flyer at this point. Stash him for as long as you can to see if he puts it together and if he doesn't then just grab someone you like off waivers. I'd rather churn through high ceiling guys hoping to get one to hit than have a guy that I think might be a flex a week or two.
Again, it depends on your teams makeup though. If you're RB situation doesn't look that good or stable then you'd obviously rather have Bush.
