Can Reggie Bush be a Fantast Impact

I'm going to keep this short, yes. Reggie Bush will be an impact fantasy player. Now that don't mean I believe he is a top 10 back right now, but he could end the season that way! The simple fact is that is New Orleans he did underachieve for sure, but to his defense New Orleans passes all day long. Now in Miami there are still questions to be answered, will they resign Rickey Williams, will Ronnie Brown be back, and will Kyle Orton end up in a Dolphins jersey.
No matter who ends up under center Bush is a huge winner by this signing. Expect him to have games with has many has 18-20 carries, he is so explosive don't be surprised with a couple big play's a game. Of course he will continue to catch balls in the flats were he maybe the most dangerous guy in the NFL.
So when our new Positional Rankings come out expect Bush to make a big jump. He should now be taken seriously as a fantasy football impact player.

Readers Fantasy Football Questions

JB and I have both recieved emails from readers with fantasy football questions. A good majority of them have asked us about drafting What is called 'handcuffed' guys. For example if you had drafted Vick and late in your draft you take Kevin Kolb. Or if you take Adrian Petterson in the first later taking Toby Gearhart. This is something that every Fantasy owner must answer yearly. Personally it is a case by case thing.
There are certainly instances where I would recommend drafting a back up of a player you took early. But things must line up right at the same time. If I take Maurice Jones-Drew again this season I would again pick up Rashard Jennings again but as a free agent. This is where doing research before a draft is important. If you were to take Jamaal Charles and were adamant about having Thomas Jones you would more than likely have to use one of your 6-8 picks for him. Personally I don't like to use valuable picks for someone who is only valuable if a injury occurs. Thomas Jones has value but only in a 2-3 RB setting.
I do however believe in handcuffing you opponents, example last season when Frank Gore was Injured I set my alarm clock for 5:45am so I was awake when the waiver wire opened at 5:59am to pick up Brian Westbrook. I never played him but it helped knock my biggest competition in that league from 2nd place to out of the playoffs.
We will touch much more on this subject in the coming weeks, I just wanted to make sure readers didn't think we were disregarding the emails.

NFL Bye Weeks 2011

The 2011 NFL bye weeks

When drafting your fantasy team you always want the NFL bye week schedule next to you. The 2011 NFL bye schedule can be a very helpful tool if used correctly. You never want to put yourself in a postion where your back up's have the same bye week as your starters. So print your self a copy of the 2011 NFL bye weeks and have it handy during your drafts. It is a very frustrating position to be in, if at the end of your draft your 2 big players have the same bye week, or if you starting and there back up does.
Now with that said there are people who go out of there way to draft a team where to big time players have the same bye week. This could be tricky because there is a good change you wouldn't be taking best available at times. I try to make sure I get a back up QB RB and TE with different bye's then my starter. The waiver line can normally get you a receiver to get you through a week if need be.
Another tip, playoff contenders. I've always been a firm believer that playoffs should end by week 14. This is were a little preparation goes a long way. You have to be smart especially with QB's and RB's since they are more likely to sit when a playoff spot is clinched. We Will touch more on this soon but something for everyone to keep on mind.
