Michael Bush-RB-Chicago Bears

If you’re going to need to roll the dice this week, check out Michael Bush of the Bears as they face the Lions this week. Bush’s fantasy value really comes from just one stat category as he serves as goal line back for the Bears and vultures TDs from Matt Forte.

Last week against Chicago, Bush had eight carries for nine yards but got his all-important touchdown. Bush doesn’t pile up yards or catches but consistently gets carries and opportunities to punch it in the end zone. So far this season, he has just 24 yards on 16 carries.

The Lions have allowed four touchdowns to opposing RBs in the first three weeks, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Bush found the end zone again this week. It’s a pretty big gamble to start Bush with Forte healthy, but if your league scores touchdowns highly, Bush might be a nice long shot today.
