Reggie Bush Flying up the charts (1 Viewer)

[Keys Myaths]

I think having Reggie Bush as your RB1 in a redraft league is a very risky proposition.

No joke.The only reason I was hyping Reggie so much is that at mid-3rd, he was a good value. If you're drafting him a lot earlier, you're in a LOT of trouble.

Some of the people in this thread are acting like they're going to take him at 1.09 as their RB1 or something. That's crazy.

Those of you getting him late second ... you guys are getting steals.

I've felt for awhile now that for drafts closer to the start of the season (mine is the afternoon of the Thursday opener) Bush isn't going to make it past the Top 15 picks in the majority of drafts barring injury. If anything happens to McAllister he isn't getting out of the first round. If this wasn't such a poor year for RBs I probably wouldn't consider Bush until the third round. But given how much uncertainty there is at the RB position and given how many RBs have major issues to contend with, taking Bush in the second isn't any riskier than grabbing many of the other RBs you'll be targeting there or in the third round as your RB2.

IMO, the top 3 picks in a 12 teamer just got that much stronger. Not only do you get one of the big 3 starting out, but it seems like Bush will be going around the 6 picks of the 2-3 turn as a RB2.

i don't get this at all. he had one nice run against a crappy defense in the titans. there is no way he has more value then some of these other guys, especially with deuce in the picture.

He had more than one nice run. Not saying that justifies anything, just saying he looked good the other night. I'm anxious to see him again Monday night.

No it was one nice run as the bulk of his yards.

Would you feel better about him if he didn't have that one long run?He had 8 touches. I saw every one of them. I'd say he really showed me something on at least 4 or 5 of those touches.

He had 59 yards on 6 carries. 1 of those carries amounted to 44 of the yards. So that means he got 15 yards on the other 5 carries. 3 yards per carry is not impressive. He is not superman and it was a preseason game. Stop the Hype. Then again if you want to waste a round 1 or 2 pick for him go right ahead while I pick up someone that actually has value.

My league's scoring system counts 44 yard runs. Doesn't yours?

But with Deuce there, will Reggie get enough touches in a game to break off the long ones? Don't get me wrong, I think he will be somewhat productive, but I wouldn't count on him being your #1 RB, A later RB 2 perhaps with some good upside but still risky.

I don't think anyone's disagreeing with this...or at least, any of us sane people.If you're using a mid-2nd round pick or higher on him, you're nuts at this point.

It should be noted that Bush's high VBD rating is based on Dodds' projections. Of all the FBG staffers that do rankings, Dodds has Bush rated the highest. He has him about 9 spots better than the FBG "average". That's not to say the DD is wrong, but just keep in mind the fact it is not FBG staff with that VBD value, it is FBG VBD voice. At the other extreme, for example, is Maurile Tremblay who has Reggie Bush at 50 points less than Dodds (with PPR).Dodds' value puts him at the end of the 1st round. Tremblay's put him toward the end of the 3rd round, maybe 4th. The truth probably lies somewhere in-between, which accounts for Bush's current ADP of about 3.04 in PPR 12 team leagues. Being right on this one could be key as any pick in the first 3 rounds needs to pull his weight. You could have real "value" if David's projections are close or you could start off playing catch up if Maurile is right.

Hey JP, this might be a dumb question but where are you getting the individual staff member rankings for PPR leagues? TIA.

The "rankings" are for FBG scoring which is not PPR.I used the Projections Dominator to get the projections for some of the other staff members and my scoring in the PD is PPR so I just used what was in front of me. I did not give the explicit projections since it is paid material.

It took him three touches the other night, so, yeah, I think he'll get enough touches.

I am bumping this because I would like some feedback from the owners who traded Reggie Bush for Ladanian Tomlinson before the season.

How is that trade working out for these owners?
