Return to Draft, Trade, & Waiver Questions

I have an 8-team ESPN h2h league and drafted AP as my RB2. My immediate back up RBs (Bradshaw and Wells) are questionable for the season opener, and Bush is my next best guy. You think it'd be worth it to make a trade for Gerhart to have him as a handcuff and also to use him in the season opener since my other guys are injured?
Will Bush be any good as a red-zone back or will Forte just vulture so many carries that Bush's role won't matter as much? Gotta say, Bush looked pretty good against Washington though. Also, who will be better long-term?

For the first few weeks I'd say Gerhart, but I like Bush for the full season. I think that Chicago is going to use him as there goal line RB and he will vulture the tds from Forte. Good luck.

Another vote for Bush. Not only will he be the goal line back, he'll also be in for short yardage. He's got the skill to break one of these off for a big gain. Gerhart's use will dwindle as AP proves that he's 100%. Plus, being the AP owner, you'd probably have to overpay for Gerhart. Save yourself the headache!

I definitely like Bush here, simply because he's the better runningback. He's always been underrated for his playmaking abilities and I think he'll come out and make it impossible for the Bears not to play him.

I say Gerhart is the best option here UNTIL you see AP is back, and back to normal.
please help me out with mine:

Toby lost weight and is looking good. Also with a bit of a ? with AP having the injury I think that Toby should get the slight edge jut in case AP doesn't hold up.
