Fantasy Outlook:

Why you should draft Reggie Bush: Bush is touchdown waiting to happen when he is healthy.  Even though his career stats don’t back that up quite yet, it isn’t hard to recognize his versatility when you see him play.  Bush has eclipsed 400 rushing yards and 400 receiving yards in every season of his career. 

Why you may want to stay away from drafting Reggie Bush: Over the last two seasons, Bush has missed ten games and has averaged just 492 rushing yards in that span.   The number of rushing touchdowns that Bush has amassed has dropped every season, beginning at six in 2006 then dipping all the way down to a mere two scores in 2008. 

Bottom Line: Even though Bush has been rather disappointing in fantasy, he figures to come at a good value this season.  In other words, Bush has the capability of being a No. 1 fantasy running back and there is a chance he could be available in the 4th and 5th rounds in several drafts.
