What kind of value are we looking at? I don't know about the sky but he's in a good spot as far as touches go to start the season. Two big problems that I see:

1. He has major durability issues. It's difficult to envision him staying healthy for the entire season.

2. Daniel Thomas hasn't looked great so far but he appears to have the edge on Bush for goal-line touches. I also think Thomas is going to be a good bet to get more involved as the season goes along.

I think Bush is a fine value right now and has Top 25 potential in PPR leagues when healthy. But you have to plan on the inevitable injury.

what are your thoughts? I like his power but I don't like the fact he's pretty much a total non-factor in the passing game. It looks like the Bucs don't trust him at all there and that's not good. I think he's a solid RB2 but I do think people are getting a little carried away with how good they think he might be.

How far do you expect Peyton Manning to fall? I think he ends up being a big factor in this years fantasy season. If the reports continue to be bad and he sinks on cheat sheets, then ultimately plays week one and is the normal Peyton Manning, some teams may end up with a stud QB 2 or more rounds later than they should have had to take him...

How does this story impact Garcon, Wayne, Clark, etc?

I've been saying this for more than a decade now....

I just asked my son this question this morning, "Exactly how far would he have to fall before we'd say 'We HAVE to take him HERE!???" For example, we're drafting 13th tonight in the BillyWaz DC. If he's there after 3RR in round 3? Certainly if he somehow fell to the end of round 4 (highly doubtful).

I'd be hard-pressed to let Peyton fall past the fourth round unless some dire news came out between now and the start of the season.

Okay, Tom just did his first FBG draft and has the NFFC in line for the $100,000 grand prize!!!

Let's open the Live Chat thread again today so that you can ask him what he saw, players he passed on, etc. It's open for questions at 3 pm EST today.

Bring it on. We're here again to take your questions. Thanks all.
