how far do you think REGGIE BUSH will go in an average fantasy draft?

Question

How much do you think he's worth this year? Do you think he'll get a lot of playing time? What about the other rooks like Vince Young and Matt Leinert?

Answer 1

out of the 3 top rookies u mentioned i Know for a fact Reggie who i've known an played with before will be by far the most productive one.

Remember he will have to split time with D. Mcallister, but sharing time hasn't stopped him before.

i see Reggie Runner for over a thousand. maybe 1100+
Duce Mcallister rushing for 900 or so

If he doesn't rush for over 1000 which he will. Drew Brees is reallly good at finding his running back out of the back field and Reggie will make about 50 receptions
Plus He will light it up on special team.

Fourth Round Sound about right, however i wouldn't be surprised if someone gets excited and takes him earlier than that.

Answer 2

it depends on the league size assuming starting 2 RB's in a 8 team league he'd go in the 3-4 in a 10-12 team league he would go in the 2nd rnd.
Remember he's still going to have the same problem that Deuce McAllister had, lack of an offensive line. Although he should have a decent QB and a bigger back in Deuce to take the load off. They'll move Bush around a lot so he should get C. Williams type numbers. Not as many carries but more receptions.

Leinart is clearly #2 on the charts so there is no need to waste a pick unless you're trying to handcuff Warner (not necessary) spend your pick somewhere else

Young on the other hand as much as the Titans talk about wanting to ease him in could start by week 6 and should be on the field by week 8. The Titans are just a bad team all around so they'll look for anything to excite the fans. So he could be worth a flier if you're starting QB has a late bye week or is injured. He'll probably have a few games where he'll light people up on the ground (a la' Vick) he just won't be able to win games with that team. Again not worth a draft pick. Unless you're in a long term keeper league or $ value league.

Answer 3

People that watch football should only comment on this. If Reggie Bush goes in the 1st round of any draft, then the drafter will be guaranteed to lose that league.

I'm not saying Reggie Bush wont be a great player at some point in time, but he isn't even the starting RB on his team, that belongs to Deuce McAllister.

Reggie Bush is not a 30 carries/game RB. Until either the Saints trade McAllister or he gets hurt...again, Bush will be getting 10-15 carries/game and will probably be used as a 3rd down back. He will more than likely be the primary KR/PR as well. Bush will have a little better value if your league provides points for receptions. However, McAllister will be the go to guy in goalline situations.

I would not draft Bush any earlier then the 4th or 5th round, even though you know some dumb sap will take him in the 1st round. He should be projected as your #3 RB, or #2 if you have a couple top 10 WR's and top 3 QB.

Seriously think about this, do you think he will put up better #'s then LT, LJ, Alexander, Portis, K Jones, J Jones, Cadillac, Ronnie Brown, D Davis, R Johnson, J Lewis, or McAllister? Me neither and those are 12 RBs.

As for VY, he will probably head into the season as the #2 for the Titans behind Billy Volek. I'm not saying Volek is a better QB, just that the Carson Palmer factor should be figured in. VY ran a shotgun offense out of Texas, which is almost never used in the NFL. While a freakish talent, he still needs to learn the position. I wouldn't draft VY unless in a futures keeper league.

Same goes for Leinert. He will be behind Kurt Warner all yearin AZ and will only see playing time in blowouts or if there is an injury. Neither the Titans or Cardinals drafted their respective QB's to be instant saviors.

Also, don't put any stock in 1st round WR's, outside of the occasional Randy Moss, they almost always take a year or two to develop to all star quality.

Look for fellow 1st rounders TE Vernon Davis and Marcedes Lewis and RB DeAngelo Williams to have decent fantasy value.

Answer 4

Reggie Bush will no doubt be hurt his first season. He's too young, he should have stayed at USC. Don't get me wrong he is an excellent player, I just think he's going in too cocky and he's gonna get careless. Vince Young is a football God and I hope and think he will do really well. Matt Leinert of course will do well, he'll be the starting quarterback for like the worst team in the NFL!!!! Maybe he'll learn how to be a team player and lose gracefully. Unlike he did when UT won the National Championship.

Answer 5

So far, it doesn't look like the Saints will be trading Deuce McAllister, and consequently, Bush will have to fight for playing time. It may all depend on how Deuce comes back from last season's injury. Yet it will be difficult for the Saints not to play Bush as much as possible: the fans and the media will be clamoring for Bush to get on the field no matter what Deuce has to offer.

Right now, there are question marks about how productive Bush is going to be in his first year, NOT because of questions about talent but because of questions about personnel. Since he's a risky pick, I wouldn't take him (or pretty much any other rookie) before the 3rd round.

Answer 6

Bush will get a lot of playing time and he'll probably have a very good year. As for how high he'll go in fantasy drafts, I don't think he's a first rounder. I have played in many a league over the last six years and I personally would rather go with proven producers in spite of all the potential that Bush has.

Answer 7

Bush probably goes around the 7th round because of the hype. I don't think he'll get much PT though because of Deuce McAllister. He'll return kicks, play in the slot, and split carries as a change-of-pace back. Lienart probably lower because of Kurt Warner, but I expect him to be starting by the middle of the season. Vince Young, with McNair gone to Baltimore, might be a decent sleeper pickup. I'm not sure how well he will work in Norm Chow's system, but the guy is just amazing.

Answer 8

I have Reggie ranked as the 20th RB.

V. Young will start the second half of the season for the Titans.

M. Leinert won't see much playing time this year.

Answer 9

I think the experts will probly pick him in the later rounds of the draft only because he's splitting time with Deuce. Bush is going to be some football player hopefully a future HOF. I really think D'Brickashaw Fegrueson will boost the jets O-Line and I believe Mario Williams will be a huge key for the Texans.

Answer 10

I think Bush will probably go around the late 3rd or early 4th round. And thats about what hes worth this year hell be solid but hes gonna split carries and not see near the touches period simply because there are more weapons on the field. I wouldnt draft Leinart or young at all he should be available in free agency.
