What are people doing with him? He's passing back material, and unless JBell goes down, he doesn't seam like he'll see feature back time. Wait for next big game and trade off? Who do you aim for? Hang on to him and hope JBell goes down?


My RB's are L.Bell, Bradshaw, Hyde, and K. Davis.

I'm in the same boat in one if my leagues. I own joique and Reggie. Not crazy about either one thus far. I need one of em to go off so I can offload em. Gotta wait it out for now bro

Edit: I own Forte and Vereen also. I'm rolling with them for now. I'll settle for vereens up and downs for now

So hard to hold onto him. ha. But I don't trust J. Bell to stay healthy all season as the feature back. I think Bush makes a push later on. Tricky with only 4 bench spots

I wouldn't feel too bad about starting reggie this week, have you seen the packers defense...cutback runs kill them. and they don't tackle well in the open field

As a Bush owner last year it frustrated the hell out of me watching Bush get yanked for Bell every time the Lions got inside the 20. If you're in PPR you can survive with Bush, if not, it's beyond infuriating.

.5 PPR. Maybe you'll remember. Did JBell go down at all last year or was that the year before? Or am I think Bush 2 years ago?

I think you should switch those two names around...

I would, except Bush isn't the feature back lately.

don't overreact to week 2 against the stout Panthers D. Detroit only scored 7 points and the whole offense struggled...and Reggie may have had limited touches because of injury.

...he was solid in week 1 PPR and the #8 PPR back last season.

Detroit's offense will be very good most weeks, imo.

Bush has played in 47 of 50 regular season games over the past four seasons.

Thank you sir, for being the voice of reason... i am the number 1 problem with my FF team. I now know what Jerry Jones feels like.

...could do a lot worse than Bell, Bush, and Bradshaw.

Bush is a lock to be at least a solid RB2, imo

Has he? I always thought he was injured or had a nagging injury throughout the season~ interesting. Anyways Bush is still viable in PPR. I think bell is going to only take away more and more, little by little

yep. He did struggle with injuries more during his time in New Orleans and makes injury reports a good bit so I guess he kinda gets that reputation, even though it's not really fair.

Perfectly stated. He played outdoors against a really good D. He has a favorable schedule this year too.

As my rb3 I see at least seven good starts for him the rest of the way based just on matchups. As long as he's healthy.
