NFL Fantasy Football 2011: Is Reggie Bush Back?
Reggie Bush is a very good football player. Has he lived up to his draft position? Statistically the answer is a no, but the Saints do have a Super Bowl ring that he played a key role in earning.
He is going to be missed in New Orleans for his versatility.
They appear to be set at running back, and Lance Moore will take on added responsibility in the passing game, but there isnโt as dynamic a punt returner on the Saints roster.

Now that heโs taken his talents to South Beach, what should we expect of Bush? I certainly donโt envision a 200-carry season for Bush. I donโt think heโs best suited or best utilized in that role.
The Dolphins drafted Daniel Thomas to be the workhorse so they should share the load. Thomas will likely close out games and get a lot of the first- and second-down calls near the goal line.
Bush will get his carries, probably around the 150 mark, but it wonโt be a steady diet of Bush.
Where Bush will earn his paycheck, and fantasy love, will be in the passing game. I wouldnโt be surprised with a season like his rookie year when he had more receiving yards than rushing yards.
In fact, thatโs been the case three of his five years in the league.
If Bush can stay healthy, something that he hasnโt been able to do for the bulk of his career, I can see Bush catching 70 passes for about 1,200 total yards.
Those numbers wonโt blow you away, but they certainly are beneficial in a PPR setting.
What are your thoughts on Bush?
