Michael Bush is the new starting RB for his team after the franchise star went down with an injury. He has some doubters, but fans are hopeful, and fantasy owners are frantically scouring the waiver wire, hoping he can help them win the league. But enough about the Raiders and Darren McFadden.
Michael Bush A Great Fantasy Matchup Against Rams
Michael Bush takes over as the Bears starter with Matt Forte out. We break down the fantasy implications.
After doing a fine job filling in for McFadden last season (977 yards, seven TDs), Bush finds himself in almost the exact same situation with the Chicago Bears, taking over as the starter with Matt Forte out for the foreseeable future. He gets his first start Sunday against the St. Louis Rams.
Fantasy Impact: He has a very favorable matchup against the Rams, who are 21st in rush defense after getting gashed by the Redskins. Bush has already proven he can be a reliable workhorse when called upon, and he's a safe RB2 play this week.
