Reggie Bush...sell high.

[SniperShot]

Horrible day for Reggie.

My statements were strictly meant fantasy wise

Totally cool. And for the record, I targeted him in ZERO of my redraft leagues and EVERY ONE of my PPR leagues.

Which has been Treat and I's argument from the start of this thread. He is solid in PPR leagues (even today he scored 8.8 on his horrible day), but in standard he was worth a sell high

Well I am with you guys there. If you hold onto him in a redraft, he has to be one of your starters every week IMO. You cannot afford to miss his 20+ point weeks. But with the good comes the bad, and you should undoubtedly expect weeks like these. High risk, high reward.

High risk high reward, he's just like a WR, he's going to have his weeks where they pick up on him in the receiving game. Hopefully with the re-emergence of Duece, it should free up Reggie and put some pressure on opposing defenses.

I am not so sure the re-emergence of Deuce is a great thing for Bush's value. You saw it today: Deuce touched the ball 20 times. That means less touches for Reggie, and less carries especially. Less touches = less value. Remember that he ran pretty well last week against Denver, so if he is not getting those opportunities, well, you see what can happen. Reggie = more WR, less RB with more Deuce, which means more inconsistency. Without using him as a double threat, defenses know what is coming when Reggie is on the field, and will make the Saints use other weapons -- like they did today -- to beat them.

The guy's a walking landmine, just like I said. *Boom* dud *Boom* dud

Nice

Between he and Barber my team is now the armless, legless, scoreless wonder of the world.

If Deuce runs like he did against 49ers, its like Pierre Thomas just with yardage. The 49ers clearly had a game plan to contain Reggie, and the Saints were forced to feed Deuce ball and throw to others. Throughout the game, all the wide receivers were down field and in single coverage, b/c they the 49ers were forced to bring there safeties up to account for Bush. By adding the element of McCallister and the down field receiving bombs, defenses will have to spread out more, and won't be able to stack against Bush. 10-15 carries a game and 7-8 receptions is more then enough for him to do his damage. That's all he was getting before Duece, with the exception of the Broncos game.

So with Colston and Shockey set to return, how does this effect Reggie's value going forward? (ppr and non ppr)
