Chicago Bears backup running back Michael Bush (ribs) was listed as "DNP" on Wednesday, though the Bears did not hold practice. Bush had just one carry for six yards in the Bears 21-14 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Michael Bush fantasy value still nil, rib injury does not help
Chicago’s backup running back would not have practiced, had there been practice. We break down the fantasy implications.
Jeff Hanisch-US PRESSWIRE
Starter Matt Forte has missed just one game this season, not allowing for Bush to have the kind of impact he had with the Raiders last season in Darren McFadden's stead. Bush has 114 carries for 411 yards and five touchdowns. Chicago has a pivotal rematch against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15.
Fantasy Take: Well you would not start Bush anyway this week and he’s not likely to eat into Forte’s production. The Bears are in a free fall after starting 7-1 and could fall behind early to the Packers and start chucking it to Brandon Marshall often.
