Reggie Bush Or A Top WR In A PPR Draft (1 Viewer)

[packersfan]

Bush has been a disappointment to some degree in his first two years. However, from a fantasy perspective he's been a very good option in PPR leagues having caught 88 passes and 73 (despite missing four games). Using the dreaded "on pace" argument he was on pace for 97 receptions last season had he not suffered a season-ending injury. In a PPR league, that's obviously strong production for a RB. But coming off a season in which he failed to take the next step forward, Bush's value is down in drafts so far. His ADP in PPR drafts is 24 which means he's available at the end of the second round.

That brings me to my question - let's say you have a Top 5 pick in a PPR league and you took a RB in the first round (LT, Peterson, Westbrook, Jackson or Addai - maybe Gore), would you take Bush in the second or would you grab a top WR knowing how important they are in PPR leagues?

The top WRs currently on the board at the backend of the second round, early part of the third are: Houshmandzadeh, Andre Johnson, Colston, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith (he could be dropping with his suspension), Boldin, Holt and Burress. Is grabbing one of those top WRs the right move or would taking Bush as your RB2 and then hoping a solid, if not elite, WR is on the board early in the third more to your liking. You could be looking at one of two possibilities:

Westbrook/Bush/Chad Johnson or Westbrook/Andre Johnson/Chad Johnson.

That's if you went with a second WR in the third. If you took a RB you could be looking at options including Jones-Drew, Jacobs or Lewis.

My belief is Bush right now represents huge value so even in a PPR league where WRs play such a critical role, if he's still on the board at the backend of the second round it's going to be awfully difficult to pass on him. You run the risk of going from a Andre Johnson to Burress, Holt or Boldin as your WR1 but if you can snare a quality WR2 in the fourth or fifth it could work out.

What does everyone here think? Are they seeing the same potential value with Bush or is the possibility of loading up with a top RB in the first and two strong WRs (assuming that's the way you want to go) in the second and third more appealing?

 

[Ron_Mexico]

I may look at other RBs before Bush.

What other RBs are available with your pick ?

 

[Road Warriors]

IMO, Bush is a borderline top 10 RB in a PPR scoring system. Based on the scenario painted, I'd evaluate the WR on the board, and see if one of the top tier remaining will likely make it around the turn at 2/3 and go with Bush in 2 and best WR in 3.

I don't particularly like Bush as an NFL running back, but for a PPR fantasy back... he's still a monster.

 

[Jason Wood]

I wouldn't classify myself as a fan of Reggie Bush or his overall place among NFL running backs. That said, try as I might I find it hard to model projections for him that keeps him out of the top 10 in PPR leagues. So to answer your question, I would happily grab him at the tail end of the 2nd round, particularly because I know I'm still getting a solid WR on the turn even if there's a run in the next few picks.

 

[packersfan]

I may look at other RBs before Bush.What other RBs are available with your pick ?

I don't have a pick yet. I was interested in seeing what people thought about Bush given how I believe he represents great value at the backend of the second round. I think it's an interesting decision in a PPR draft between Bush as a RB2 or an elite WR if you've taken a top RB in the first.

 

[RudeDog]

Colston over Bush in a heartbeat.

 

[TheFanatic]

Let's look at this. Bush scored 131 points in a non PPR last year. Add in his 73 recepts and he's sitting on 204. Not bad. Let's look at the #10 WR last year in non PPR - Burress. He had 167 points plus his 70 catches gives him 237. The number 5 WR (Fitz) would have 295 points.

Which would you rather have? Housh scored 293 last year. CJ 280 last year. #15, Roddy White, had 232. Mind you I'm using non PPR numbers and adding the recepts so the numbers are a little off. Boldin finished 19th in non PPR. Add in the Recepts and he has 207.

I'll take the WR....

 

[Jason Wood]

Colston over Bush in a heartbeat.

It's no slam dunk. It entirely comes down to your lineup.Colston is, on average, forecast for 237.2 fantasy points while Bush is forecast for 244.2 fantasy points in PPR.Comparing their two projections and VBD X-Values against different baselines, you would want to take Bush in any league that allows an even number of RB/WR starters, but would give Colston the edge in leagues that start 3WRs and/or don't allow a RBUTIL.Here are their respective X-Values at the most common baselines:Reggie BushRB24 Baseline = 70.0 X-ValueRB30 Baseline = 93.2 X-ValueRB36 Baseline = 118.1 X-ValueMarques Colston WR24 Baseline = 57.9 X-ValueWR30 Baseline = 77.0 X-ValueWR36 Baseline = 104.0 X-Value

Good to see you're at least making an effort to shoehorn personal bias into your projections. Might not work every time, but keeping trying!

As to the OP, depending on where you are picking, why not get best of both worlds: Moss in 1, Bush in 2?

Add in the Recepts and he has 207. I'll take the WR....

Bush's #s are over 12 games, so they're artificially low for this comparison. The other aspect of the equation is what RB2 do you get in round 4 to pair with your WR1/2 vs. Bush/WR1 and a round 4 WR. ADP shows maybe LenDale or Fast Willie are coming off the board at or around late 4. Roy Williams/Calvin Johnson/Santonio Holmes are WR you could pair up. Either set works, but I think the gap between Reggie & LenDale is > the gap between CJ & CJ2.

Do you expect Reggie Bush to post similar numbers this season? I don't. In PPR, I'll take 2008 Reggie Bush over 2008 Houshmandzadeh 10 times out of 10, especially when it's a near lock I can get a top 5 WR in round 2.

What you fail to mention is that Bush's stats are based on 12 games played while the other guys your comparing him to played in 16.In PPR Bush was at 17+ a game.Edited: an above post posted the same thing.

Colston over Bush in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the numbers Jason,I, however, am giving my opinion since that is what the OP asked for. Reggie, in my opinion, will cease to be much of a RB at all this year. He just doesn't have the ability to see the field and hit a hole quickly at this level. I see Pierre as a much better option for the Saints at RB. That being said you can discount his points that are being projected by the majority of the rushing yards.

 

[vikingdave]

I had this debate in a recent 10 team draft...I had the #2 pick, took AP, came back around and was planning on going with 2 top WRs, but Bush was still there so I took him, IMO in a PPR league as a RB2 paired with AP and AJ who I took at 3.2, I was loving the start I had...

 

[packersfan]

Where I think it gets tricky is something like the following happens:

You pass on Bush in the second and take a stud WR. Let's say Houshmandzadeh. You hope to get Jones-Drew in the third but he's off the board so you pass on RBs and take another top WR. Let's say Boldin. Or Steve Smith if you don't mind losing him for the first two games. Then you get to the fourth round and now you're looking at RBs like McFadden, Jones, Parker, maybe LenDale White. If you don't take a RB2 in the fourth the talent could really thin out so let's say you went with Jones. You'd then be looking at:

RB - Westbrook/Jones

WR-Houshmandzadeh/Boldin (or Smith)

If you had taken Bush in the second and Boldin or Smith in the third you could be looking at WRs in the fourth such as Jennings, Roy Williams, Holmes, Bowe, Calvin Johnson, maybe Harrison. So your team would be:

RB - Westbrook/Bush

WR - Boldin (or Smith)/Roy Williams

Team No. 2 looks pretty darn good to me. You may not have a stud WR - at least not for the first two weeks until Smith returns - but you would have two solid WRs and if you found a good WR3 you should do well at the position. Meanwhile, a combination of Bush and a stud RB could be gangbusters in a PPR league.

Umm - what? In any PPR league bigger than 8 teams, Reggie Bush should be long gone in the first 15 picks.

With the 10th overall pick in a supposed experts league earlier in the summer I did just that. Debating Bush or Moss at 10 overall after 9 RBs left the board, I took Moss at 1.10, received Bush at 2.03. I could not be happier with that opener from the 10-hole in a PPR.

So far his ADP in WCOFF and FFPC, two high stakes PPR leagues, is higher than 15. His running between 17-18 in WCOFF. I don't know his exact numbers in FFPC but most drafts I've seen he is right outside the top 15.ETA: If this seems to low I am posting the ADP of those going higher than him and I don't really see anything unusual about any of these players going higher than Bush:1.29 Tomlinson LaDainian RB SDG2.14 Peterson Adrian RB MIN3.36 Westbrook Brian RB PHI3.36 Jackson Steven RB STL6.14 Addai Joseph RB IND6.43 Gore Frank RB SFO7.86 Moss Randy WR NWE9 Barber Marion RB DAL10 Brady Tom QB NWE10.71 Wayne Reggie WR IND11.36 Portis Clinton RB WAS11.57 Johnson Larry RB KAN13.31 Owens Terrell WR DAL15 Lynch Marshawn RB BUF16.15 Manning Peyton QB IND17.38 Edwards Braylon WR CLE17.92 Bush Reggie RB NOR

In a PPR league, I would take Bush over Peyton Manning, likely over Braylon Edwards, and possibly over Larry Johnson. As Jason articulated, every time he ran the numbers in a PPR, Bush came out in the top-10, despite his bias. A top-10 RB should never last to the bottom of the 2nd round.Regardless - his current ADP in WCOFF drafts is much closer to #15 than "tail-end of the 2nd round" (or #22-#24), right? Now, in a non-PPR league, I don't know that I would consider Reggie Bush for my team unless he came at insane value.

Hey Marc, I didn't check the ADP for WCOFF drafts. I was using the data for PPR drafts on MockDraftCentral.com. The PPR drafts on their site have his ADP at 24 right now. Does FBG have ADP rankings for PPR drafts only?

 

[packersfan]

I had a chance to test this out tonight. I had the fourth pick in a 12-team PPR draft. Bush was there in the second so I took him. I ended up with the following as my core guys:

QB-Roethlisberger

RB-Gore

RB-Bush

RB-Felix Jones

WR-Chad Johnson

WR-Roy Williams

WR-Cotchery

TE-Daniels

I'm pretty happy with that. I keep seeing Bush fall to the end of the second in a lot of PPR drafts so I wasn't surprised he fell to me in the one I was in tonight. I think that's crazy value for him and I think it's very tough to pass on him there given the WRs you can get in the subsequent rounds.

 

[Apollo Creed]

I specifically said the list was for PPR leagues.

And I posted a a PPR list that contradicts yours. I'm not saying one is better than the other, I just don't see Bush lasting to the end of the second in a PPR league. If he does, by all means take him.

[Leroy's Aces]

As shown above, Reggie Bush's average draft position for drafted WCOFF Satellite leagues as of 08.01.2008 is 17.92. That is pick 2.06. That is, or course, an average, and I have seen him go as high as 12 or 13 and as low as 24. He has gone in the same general area in the FFPC, because the scoring is similar with the exception of tight ends at 1.5 PPR, which starts to make an impact just a few picks later.

Good team, well drafted as I would assume:1- Gore2-Bush3-Chad4-Roy5-Ben6-CotcheryIn a PPR, I'd have concentrated a little earlier on TE, but I think you have a good core - who is your 4th WR, because, in a PPR, starting 3-WRs every week is key.

 

[GreekFreak]

I have the #2 pick in a 14 team redraft. I am hoping for Bush to be there for me in the 2nd round. A backfield of Westy/Bush in PPR would be huge!

I couldn't pass up Cotchery as a WR3 in a PPR league. I loved him before the Favre trade but now I think he could surprise and finish as a Top 15 WR in PPR leagues. And I think Daniels is a very nice TE in PPR leagues even if the TDs may not be there with Johnson and Walter also around. But on a team that has crap in the running game I was happy to wait on TEs and get Daniels. My WR4 is Burleson. I was hoping to snare Engram or Derrick Mason but they went three and two picks ahead of me, respectively in the round when I took Burleson.

Elaborate on why in ppr u focus earlier on a TE???

 

[packersfan]

I should add that the choice was between the following:

Bush in the second or one of the following WRs - Fitzgerald, Colston, Chad Johnson and Smith. I decided to go with Bush hoping that either Colston or Johnson would be on the board in the third. Johnson was there. If he had been gone, the best WRs available after him were Smith, Holt, Burress and Boldin.
