Reggie Bush only has 17 rushing yards; fantasy value floundering

Reggie Bush ran the ball 12 times for 17 yards. Is he still a must-start option?

Reggie Bush still hasn't got back to his September form with just 17 rushing yards on 12 carries. He was able to add five catches for 44 yards in the passing game.

Bush was the leader in rushing yards about a month ago, but he hit the skids. He has 434 rushing yards on 98 carries this season.

Fantasy Impact: While fantasy owners knew that Bush wasn't going to led the NFL in rushing, he has been disappointing. The Dolphins still play great defense and were leading the league in rushing yards allowed and YPC allowed coming in. They'll also absolutely have to keep their running game going to lighten the blitz packages that Ryan Tannehill will see.

Bush isn't really a must-start in standard leagues, but he should still be viewed as a buy-low player. The Dolphins head into a bye then will take on the Jets in Week 8.
