After five mostly injury-plagued and somewhat disappointing seasons in New Orleans, Bush was traded to the Dolphins prior to training camp last season. Most pundits expected that Bush would continue to tease with his potential and fall short of the lofty expectations that accompanied him based on his outstanding college career, culminating in the Saints drafting him with the 2nd overall pick in the 2006 draft. Although Miami’s oft-stated objective was to make Bush a workhorse back, that was met with much skepticism given that the team had traded up in the 2nd round to acquire Kansas State product Daniel Thomas. Bush started the season slowly, gaining just 243 rushing yards, 97 receiving yards and scoring once in the team’s first six games. After that, he came on strong, rushing for 854 yards and six touchdowns while chipping in 199 receiving yards over last nine games. During that stretch, he topped 100 rushing yards five times, including his final four games, and hit double-digit fantasy points eight times. In 15 games (he sat out Week 17 with a knee injury), Bush set career-highs in rushing attempts with 217 (60 more than his previous high set in 2007), rushing yards with 1,097 and rushing touchdowns with six. The Dolphins scaled back his involvement in the passing game and he averaged fewer than three receptions per game for the first time in his career. For 2012, Bush rates as a risky high-end RB2 and it will be a surprise if he matches the 11th place running back ranking he had in 2011 given the new west coast offense being installed by head coach Joe Philbin. Expect Bush to be more of a hybrid back with less running up the middle or more time spent slit out wide as a receiver.

Reggie Bush heading to Motor City -- Wed Mar 13 1:15 pm --
4-year deal with Lions | The Detroit Lions have agreed to terms on a four-year contract with Reggie Bush and will introduce the running back at a a news conference Wednesday afternoon. The 29-year-old Bush proved that he can be an every-down tailback in Miami, rushing for 2,072 yards and 12 touchdowns in two seasons with the Dolphins. (ESPN)
FF Today's Take: Bush stayed healthy enough to play in all 16 games last season which was a big reason why he finished 14th among fantasy RBs. With Mikel Leshoure still in the mix and likely to get goaline carries, Bush's value will be greatest in PPR leagues.
|  | Cardinals release Beanie Wells -- Mon Mar 11 4:20 pm --
LaRod Stephens-Howling likely to depart in free agency | Starting running back Beanie Wells was released on Monday, and backup LaRod Stephens-Howling is likely to land elsewhere in free agency. Wells was due a roster bonus of $1.3 this spring and scheduled to make $1.157 million in salary. (Arizona REpublic)
FF Today's Take: Wells never gained much traction in Arizona. He suffered numerous injuries and played in only eight games last season. Look for Arizona to put the full court press on Reggie Bush once free agency opens tomorrow. Wells' value is limited due to his stone-hands but will find a job, likely in a committee role.
| | Bush won't return to Miami -- Sun Mar 10 11:30 am --
Three teams interested in veteran running back | Reggie Bush’s days with the Dolphins appear to be over. As expected, the market for Bush has proved to be strong, with three teams contacting Bush’s representation on the first day allowed, according to a source close to the running back. However, the Dolphins are not one of those teams showing interest, and Bush categorically will not return to the team in 2013, the source added. (Miami Herald)
FF Today's Take: We've expected that Bush would be wearing a different uniform in 2013. The Lions and Cardinals have reportedly shown interest and appear to be the most likely landing spots. The Lions are comfortable moving forward with Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas with Miller having higher fantasy value in RB3 territory.
| | Reggie Bush to the Lions? -- Wed Mar 6 9:00 pm --
Rumors abound that RB could be headed to Detroit | For the past week there has been some buzz that free agent running back Reggie Bush could be bolting South Beach for the Motor City. Bush is reportedly gaining serious interest from the Detroit Lions and he would be a perfect fit for the Lions offense. Tuesday morning on ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning, NFL analyst John Clayton furthered the speculation that Bush be the top target for Detroit. After discussing some upcoming free agents and the level of interest they will generate, Clayton closed out by saying Bush is one of the more interesting situations to watch but he could see him winding up in Detroit. Clayton also added that the price tag for Bush would not be too expensive. (SI)
FF Today's Take: The 28-year-old is coming off two of his most productive NFL seasons. His versatility as both a rushing and pass-catching running back could conceivably serve the Lions well.
| | Lamar Miller to play lead role in Miami -- Fri Mar 1 9:30 pm --
Second-year RB to take over starting job in Dolphins' backfield | The Miami Dolphins aren't even hiding the fact they expect Lamar Miller to replace Reggie Bush as the team's starter in 2013. Inside the team's headquarters there's no talk about Miller competing with former second-round pick Daniel Thomas, or one of the other young tailbacks on the roster. And there's very little discussion about adding another veteran tailback once Bush signs with another team, say the Lions or the Chargers (that's the word on the street). The future of the franchise's running game is being put in the hands of the former University of Miami standout, whom the team traded up to get in the fourth round of last year's draft, which featured his stock dropping because of a shoulder injury he played with at UM. (Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel)
FF Today's Take: Miller looked promising albeit in limited action in 2012 as a rookie. The shifty 21-year-old had an impressive 4.9 yards per carry. If he can replicate that feat in 2013 with the 200 to 250 carries he's expected to receive, the Miami-native will be in line for a tremendous season.
