Reggie Bush @ 3.3 in PPR redraft.. talk me up/down

[Dawinner127]

Your a fantasy expert and your asking about taking Bush?!?! Take a WR

It doesn't matter if he was a fantasy god and won the league fifteen years in a row and counting. Everyone and anyone can be torn on a certain player and can't decide what to do so they come here and ask for help.

Thanks DaWinner.....I was a bit surprised by Drew's response as I didn't think it that outlandish a question. Bush is a solid RB in PPR imo, and well worth a thought at 3.3. I felt it best to ignore the comment, and focus on the helpful responses. I will still help Drew IF he ever struggles enough with a drafting/trade issue.

All the best

If you can score what you think is an extremely solid RB with that first pick, and then an elite stud WR falls to that 2.10 pick, I might take the gamble with Bush in that 3.3 pick, especially in 1 PPR scoring. If he is a bust, you have some pretty good studs to still carry your team in a combo like MJD/SS with the first two picks. If you win, you get a PPR monster and two very solid RB1-producing RBs. The way I see it, Bush is the kind of player this year that can produce a fantasy champion, or a mediocre team, assuming you finish the draft as if he is a big injury risk, and get a RB with two of the next three. You might want to try moving a little back in the third round via trade, and moving up in the fourth round to see if he is there, while you draft a guy like R Brown, Boldin etc. in the third round to make sure you have a solid enough team to take him in the early fourth if he falls that far, if you really want him. He might be too much of a risk to take in the early third.

Basically, you could have a core team of:

MJD/Forte
Steve Smith
Bush
Housh/Marshall

If Bush is healthy and as productive as he was early last year, that is a beasty team in PPR. If Bush fails again, it could be:

MJD/Forte
Steve Smith
Housh/Marshall
