Summary

Running Back Rank: #59All Players: #214

Bush got his chance to start much of last season because of injury to Darren McFadden and enjoyed his best season of his career. He proved he could be a legit starter in the NFL. Bush finished with 1,395 total yards and eight touchdowns. Bush had two 100-yard games and topped 100 total yards five times. He did have a few stinker games, though, averaged less than three yards per carry five times. Bush has done well finding the end zone, scoring eight times each of the last two seasons. The concern for Bush is his role. He should be the top backup to Matt Forte, which will limit his work some. The Bears claim they will use more of a timeshare at running back but you should expect Forte to get more work than Bush. The good news for Bush is he could be the goal-line and short-yardage option for the Bears. Bush is a big, athletic back with speed. Injuries have dogged him some throughout his career, but he has been able to stay healthy the past few seasons. Bush also does pretty well as a receiver considering his size. He had a career-high 37 receptions last season.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Bush has upside, but might have a hard time matching last season. He is more of a low-end No. 3 back for fantasy teams. He can get you 900 total yards and eight or so touchdowns, giving him some value for a few spot starts. He is an injury away from being a legit No. 2 fantasy back.
