just curious....

I think Bush will have a breakout year this year, but he's almost more of a WR than RB anyway. He'll rack up a lot of yards and TDs a lot of different ways...

Please help me

the only problem is that we dont play a flex position, meaning he'd be 1 of 2 primary backs. our WR is a true WR not WR/RB/Flex....

i feel like that's banking on him? or maybe he WILL break out.... hmmmmmmm

I like Megatron. Thomas is clearly the back to have in NO now. Bush will put up good numbers, have some huge games, but will be too inconsistent overall to warrant keeping him over a freak like Johnson.

Calvin Johnson: 1300 rec yds 10-12 td's
Reggie Bush: 550 rush yds, 650 rec yds, 8 total td's

I side with Megatron. Brees has other weapons to target in Colston, Moore, Shockey, Henderson, Thomas. In Detroit, everything is Calvin Johnson and Kevin Smith. Much more potential to produce. Sure he'll be double teamed, but he was last year as well nd look how he produced, and with a battered group of far less than average qb's throwing to him...no reason to think his stats will fall off this year.

I'd go with Calin Johnson as well.

I have both players in a dynasty league and I'm hoping for one of two things out of Reggie. He finally turns things around and becomes a top player he once was in college and I keep him, or he plays well enough for me to trade him away for something half way decent. If I had to keep one of the two I'm keeping Calvin. If you look at the team he had around him, the qb's he was playing with he had nothing to work with. Now if they can get there o-line settled down, consistent qb play, Smith to play well, someone else to catch the ball then Calvin should be a lock for 1200+yrds and 10tds for several years. Good luck.

Both are good options in PPR, but because it's a keeper league I'd go with Calvin because he has upside -- we have yet to see his best season.

Bush, on the other hand, may have had his best season already and he's a risk due to his injury history.

If Matthew Stafford becomes a franchise QB, Calvin Johnson could put up monster Fantasy numbers down the road...

I am a huge Bush fan, but Calvin is the choice here. He has been a stud on a horrible team with bad QB play. I just can't imagine what he will do with a talented QB. The sky is the limit for Calvin. Bush is coming off a knee injury and no one knows how many touches Pierre will take from him.
