Whose rolling with Reggie tonight? (1 Viewer)

I'm excited to see how Reggie Bush reacts after this whole Heisman debacle and under the bight lights but....
MIN defense is still solid and he's still in a RBBC.
I'm NOT starting him over Rex Ryan's "bell cow" Shonn Greene even though BAL is a tough defense too and LT is a threat to steal some carries. But it's week 1 and I'm gonna stay with the guy I drafted higher until it's proven other wise.

PPR league, starting Reggie Bush over MSW!! and i just traded for Reggie Bush 2 days ago...
minny rush def still very strong...it's their secondary that is not and might be where reggie gets his points.
in my non-PPR, i had to choose one for my flex:
reggie bush - RBBC, tough rush def, will get most points off of rec yards ?if will get a TD
marion barber - RBBC but playing a softer def and will get goalline touches
johnny knox - #1 WR playing a weak detroit def which may be a blowout, but chicago offense hasn't showed anything yet under martz..
i'm leaning towards barber now primarily in that i can change my mind and put in knox later. if i roll with reggie, then i'm committed. in the end, minny's def is what is scaring me away. i see big numbers for brees, colston, meachem, et al. reggie will get his rec. but not necessarily more than knox or compared tMB3's TD opportunities.
this is one of the frustrating things of having a good, deep draft....

I'm benching Bush for Barber non-ppr. goalline shots and softer def. But I do like Bush tonight could hurt me.
I'm flipflopping between Bush and Green for this week. Baltimore is good, but they got ripped for over 100 by Benson twice and AP once, along with the Steelers, Bears and Lions as a team last year. Is Green as good as AP? No. Is he as good as Benson? At least as good if not better. So I'll be going with Green for now, but may be kicking myself later, as my league rewards double points for RB rec TD's but no yards until 100.
its hard for me to reconcile that every preseason projection had pierre much higher, and his adp was 30 spots higher. yet somehow bush is the better start this week. i just dont understand it.

I would say it is a combination of the situational game tonight and how Bush has been looking in the preseason. As far as the game tonight Minny is real strong against the run. So the thought is to throw it outside to Bush. I think it is a toss up on who to play. In PPR I would definitely lean towards Reggie.
OMG! Ponies!

Thomas catches balls as well, and will most certainly get more of the carries..

I am starting him over Moreno in a .5 ppr league. Although I still have reservations... this is the Minny D he's going against and not Chicagoredrum42 said:
The deciding factor for me was Moreno's lack of work in the preseason and his dubious hammy. If I knew he was healthy I would probably go with Moreno.

6th or 7th in non PPR. Would anyone take a chance on him over Barber/Bradshaw?

looks like one of their strategies is to use up all of minnesota's cbs.

I am convinced PT slept with the head coach's wife. Bush has been in all 1st quarter possesions with perhaps the exception of maybe two plays!

No complaints so far. 
Looks dynamic, reliable, and exciting.

supposedly Saints are abandoning the run game for the most part and letting Brees beat up on the Vikings DB's. Basically what was mentioned just before halftime.. good for Bush obviously bad for PT.. stay tuned
if saints get a nice lead they will pound pierre. that has always been their philosophy, and it is a very smart one. last yr the endgame pounding was split between bell hamilton pierre and a bit of bush. this yr many of us banked on it being mainly pierre.
further, this balance is not really sustainable and likely a result of their opponent having such a great run d. again, it comes down to the saints success at getting nice leads. in 07 and 08 they did not run much, in my mind, bc they did not have leads and were often chasing. in 06 and 09 they were much more balanced bc they were in the position where running the ball made sense, ie they were winning games.
thats my story. could be way off.

He wants the word rolling to retire (i.e. not be used)

this may have been a bit premature...
PT:
8 carries, 2 rec, 42 yards 1 TD
10 touches
Bush
2 carries, 4 rec, 46 yards 0 TD
6 touches

22 touches - 17.6 fantasy points
Bush:

To lazy to figure out the targets...

Overall not a bad game from Bush. I thought he looked good when given the opportunity but he just didn't get too many looks.
Thomas is definitely the bell cow here in regards to carries and it looks like Bush will make a great RB3/Flex every week.

12 team redraft, .5 PPR, start 2 RB, no flex. He fell all the way to me @ 8.08. I thought about taking him as soon as Rd 6, but needed WRs; was very surprised he fell that far.

I owe you a beer dude! Swear to God I was about to switch when I read your post and I said to myself, "Groin Pains is right. I'm gonna keep Pierre in."Week one is too early to start yanking guys you took in round three or four.Sweating that first half was tough though...

Problem is there are so many people on that team that will get touches. Who do you take them from. There didn't look to be a weak link last night. Every WR and RB on the field for NO was solid... They can get more touches as a team by sustaining more drives but I don't think all those touches go to Bush. Bush did well and could certainly handle more touches, his touches will likely be around 7-13 touches a game. 13 would be a really good game for him. Unless PT goes down...

I wonder why they only rushed Reggie twice.... His two runs were for 8 yards and 6 yards. He looked good on both.... one was nice edge blocking, but he motored to the outside for a nice gain and the other was up the gut where he ran downhill well and looked good.... Maybe should have mixed him in a little more?
I like the Saint's strategy of getting a lead and pounding PT... it makes sense.. but I don't think Bush even had a carry in the 2nd half... why not give him 2 or 3 more mixed in with PT to keep the D on their toes?

The good news is Bush barely touched the ball and still had almost 10 points in PPR format. No one except Thomas really had good stats for the Saints be it a WR/TE/QB...no one was explosive. Thomas ends up with possible top12 numbers this week.

Sedrick Ellis tied or came close to Colston and other defenders did better than him. When a DT equals a WR it's news.

Bush & PT owner here in PPR 10 man league. Started Reggie (Benched P.Thomas) with regards to the Viking rush Defense. I lost the points for the night with my lineup choice but felt very good knowing that Pierre looked very solid and hopefully for weeks to come barring any injury. I think PT might be a great value overall to comparative backs at his price in my auction draft. I got him for $20 in $200 Auction and R. Bush for $13 BTW.
Now just need a Jonothan Stewart stellar year and dare I say..........................Championship!!
