After missing practice Tuesday for unexplained reasons Reggis was back on the gridiron for the mid-week practice. Last year Reggie finally stayed mostly healthy and his fantasy numbers were a surprise to many but not to me. Reggie had a chip on his shoulder last year and it was evident even in the preseason that he had something to prove to his fans and especially to the Brass in New Orleans. This year, though Bush has company in the backfield should be equally as good number wise for Bush if that fire is still burning hot in his soul. Bush will be taken as a #2 RB in most fantasy drafts but could produce as a low end #1.
 
I can't help but be a little more skeptical. Bush has had 1 good year out of 6, he's often injured, and Sparano is gone. Its a completely new system - with a rookie potentially running it. And its not like Philbin put any Packer backs on the map.

Too much downside for the cost.
 
Bush had his best year last year it will have been the best of his career. He we be splitting time this season even more than last. Thomas who was a bust will probably be a bust again this season but I am interested to see this beast from Canada(Messam) fight for a spot. Also Miller(R) from University of Miami will likely be thrown into the mix. I would be afraid to use Bush even as a flex this year.
 
I am not a Bush lover, but with the WR and TE situation that Miami has, I like Bush in PPR leagues this year, especially due to the Qb situation in Miami. I doubt Bush will be a 1000+ rusher again, but if he can make some huge plays with screens and such, and returns again...it was worth the investment I made in him this year.
