Michael Bush: (Ribs) Placed on IR

Bush (ribs) has been placed on injured reserve, the Bears' official site reports.

Analysis: Bush sat out Sunday after injuring his ribs in Week 14. The Bears re-signed Kahlil Bell to replace Bush on the active roster.

Bush (ribs) may be placed on injured reserve, Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis: Bush injured his ribs during Week 14 and sat out Sunday's loss to Green Bay. Bush is the Bears' primary short-yardage back and has compiled 411 yards and five touchdowns this season. Chicago re-signed Kahlil Bell on Tuesday to provide insurance behind Matt Forte and Armando Allen.

Bush (ribs) did not receive a touch Sunday against the Packers.

Analysis: Bush was active, but did not see the field in favor of Armando Allen. The Bears could have used the bruiser on a key goal to go situation, so its clear he is not fully healthy. It is hard to trust an injured Bush with any value in these last couple of weeks.

Bush (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: He aggravated the injury last week against the Vikings, and it remains to be seen if Bush will have a limited workload as a result of the recent setback.

Bush (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Chicago Tribune writer Brad Biggs reports.

Analysis: Bush looks like a game-time call after aggravating his rib issue against Minnesota last week. His owners should probably examine other options.

Bush (ribs) did not participate in practice Thursday, the Bears' official site reports.

Analysis: This marks back-to-back missed practices for Bush, after he injured his ribs during Week 14's loss in Minnesota, which explained his meager output (one carry for six yards). Since Matt Forte is healthy and acting like a No. 1 back, it's difficult to see Bush doing much more than spelling Forte. Now that Bush is dealing with another injury, his production is likely to be hindered to those attempting to win fantasy titles. However, we'll monitor his progress as the week goes on.

Bush (ribs) did not practice Wednesday, the Bears' official site reports.

Analysis: Granted, the Bears held a walkthrough due to the numerous injuries ailing the team. Bush himself injured his ribs yet again during Week 14's loss at Minnesota, which helped to explain his meager output (one carry for six yards). Since Matt Forte is healthy and acting like a No. 1 back, it's difficult to see Bush doing much more than spelling Forte. Now that Bush is dealing with another ailment, his output is likely to be less-than-desirable to those attempting to win fantasy titles. No matter, we'll keep an eye on his progress as the weekend draws near.

Coach Lovie Smith said that Bush re-injured his ribs Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "He took a shot," Smith noted Monday.

Analysis: That helps explain why Bush had just one carry for six yards Sunday, though his fantasy upside remains limited in any case, as long as Matt Forte remains healthy.

Bush (ribs) is active for Sunday's contest in Minnesota.

Analysis: With Matt Forte healthy in Week 13, Bush was held to a more typical seven carries for 39 yards. Expect much of the same versus a Vikings run defense that has allowed five of their past six opponents to break the 100-yard barrier.

Bush (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota, ChicagoBears.com reports.

Analysis: Bush was a limited practice participant Friday, but it was his only appearance in practice all week. He's looking like a legitimate game-time call.

Bush (ribs) did not participate in practice Thursday, the Bears' official site reports.

Analysis: This marks the second consecutive practice in which Bush was held out. While he is currently dealing with sore ribs, he had seven carries for 39 yards (5.6 YPC) in Week 13, as Matt Forte took on most of the workload in his return from an ankle injury. Friday's injury report should clear up the Bears' running back situation entering Sunday's game in Minnesota.

Bush (ribs) was limited in practice Wednesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis: Bush, who is currently dealing with sore ribs, ran seven times for 39 yards (5.6 YPC) in Week 13, as Matt Forte dominated the carries in his return from an ankle injury. While Bush's fantasy owners should watch his progress through the injury this week, be mindful that Forte will continue to receive the bulk of the rushes.

Forte carries heavy load

Forte totaled 21 carries for 66 yards, adding three receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks. Teammate Michael Bush only played a "closer" role for the team, posting 39 yards on seven carries for the day. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: The big margin in carries speaks to what fantasy owners can expect in the future. With so many injuries at the wide receiver position, Forte's catching abilities should keep him on the field for a majority of snaps.

Bush had seven carries for 39 yards Sunday against the Seahawks.

Analysis: Matt Forte (ankle) looked healthy and dominated touches with 24 for 96 total yards on the day making Bush just a change of pace back again. That role does not figure to change against the Vikings, unless Forte were to aggravate his ankle injury during practice in the coming week.

Bears RBs struggling

Forte and Bush have combined for just 29 total yards rushing in the first half of their game against the Seahawks. FOLLOW WITH GAME CENTER

Analysis: The timeshare and facing a stout defense is not helping either player's fantasy value this week. Don't expect much of a change in the second half.

Forte is ACTIVE

Bears running back Matt Forte (ankle) is active, as expected. Alshon Jeffrey (knee), and Devin Hester (concussion) are out against the Seahawks. FULL SUNDAY INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: Forte was already nearing a perfect split in time with Michael Bush, so temper expectations for the back against one of the best NFL defenses. As for Brandon Marshall, expect him to be the focal point of the Seattle defense, but his high target numbers could still help fantasy owners get some production.

Forte to return for Week 13 action

Running back Matt Forte (ankle), linebacker Lance Briggs (ankle), and cornerback Charles Tillman (ankle) all are probable. The Bears won't have wide receivers Devin Hester (concussion) and Alshon Jeffrey (knee). FULL INJURY ROUNDUP

Analysis: Though Forte looks to return, a matchup against a stout Seattle defense and the performance of teammate Michael Bush could limit his potential. Brandon Marshall should continue to see a heavy amount of targets with few other options due to Jeffrey and Hester's injuries.

Bush carries heavy load without Forte

In his " Targets and Touches" analysis, Jason Smith notes, "Michael Bush's 22 touches rank him 11th this week for running backs, but more importantly, Bush and Matt Forte had split the carries until Forte's injury in the second half of the Bears win." READ: TARGETS AND TOUCHES

Analysis: If Forte can play, Bush is still a very good flex play, simply because you know he's going to get the goal-line carries for Chicago in addition to half the workload.

Bush doubles up

Bush took over for an injured Matt Forte on Sunday, totaling 21 carries for 60 yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings. WATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Analysis: Bush could be in line for another start depending on the severity of Forte's ankle injury. Be sure to keep tabs on his status this week.

Bush had 21 carries for 60 yards with two touchdowns and caught one pass for negative one yard Sunday against the Vikings.

Analysis: The scores were his first since Week 3, as he ran with power in goal line and short-yardage situations Sunday. With Matt Forte (ankle) exiting the game early, Bush became the Bears' lead back dominating touches the rest of the way. Waiver wire fodder before this week, owners who held onto Bush as insurance will likely be rewarded if Forte is to miss games for the second time this season. Check back in the coming days for a better read on Forte's upcoming injury status as the Bears head into a tough matchup against Seattle's 11th ranked run defense.

Bush had five rushes for nine yards and caught one pass for 18 yards Monday against the 49ers.

Analysis: Bush continues to be an afterthought in the offense while Matt Forte (24) dominates touches. Bush is really only a fantasy option in the deepest of leagues with Forte healthy.

Bush had three rushes for 34 yards Sunday against the Texans.

Analysis: Bush actually had a couple nice runs Sunday, but lost a crucial fumble that swung the tides of the game early. The 34 yards are his most since the 36 in Week 7 against the Lions, but Matt Forte is dominating workloads (18 touches).

Bush had 10 carries for 16 yards and caught one pass for 17 yards Sunday against the Titans.

Analysis: Even in a blowout, Bush was not able to do much in this game. While his touches were close to Matt Forte's, it was only due to the lopsided score. He is not much more than a handcuff, especially with the Texans and 49ers up next for Chicago.

Forte faces favorable matchup in Week 8

In his Week 8 "Fantasy Matchups" breakdown, Marcas Grant advises "ride Matt Forte against Carolina's run defense," which is allowing an average of 21.75 points per game to opposing running backs. FULL MATCHUPS BREAKDOWN

Analysis: Though Michael Bush could vulture a score, Forte should find plenty of success against one of the weaker defenses he's faced this season. The Panthers are ranked 19th against both the run and pass this year.

Bush had six carries for 36 yards and one catch for negative three yards Monday against the Lions.

Analysis: Bush has not hit pay dirt since Week 3, but will have an excellent chance to break that streak against the Panthers leaky run defense in Week 8.

Bush's Week 7 matchup does not look to be a friendly one as the Lions have only allowed one rushing touchdown this season.

Analysis: When Matt Forte is healthy, Bush is highly unlikely to put up decent fantasy numbers unless he picks up a short rushing touchdown. The Detroit defense isn't exactly a formidable unit, but they've held opponents to 3.7 yards per carry and allowed just the one rushing touchdown in five games. Bush still has a decent shot to pick up a score -- that's the case every week -- but it's hard to imagine him having a big game if Forte stays healthy.

Bush had four rushed for 26 yards and added two catches for 26 yards Sunday against the Jaguars.

Analysis: A healthy Matt Forte touched the ball 24 times to Bush's six. With Forte back as the bell cow, Bush becomes a risky proposition in fantasy circles, unless he gets red zone work and a score.

Bush had 10 carries for 29 yards and caught one pass for eight yards Monday against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Bush, who was used to kill the clock in the fourth quarter, saw 11 touches to Matt Forte's 14. Bush again was used as the primary red-zone back, and figures to be a shaky option unless he hits pay dirt with Forte (ankle) returning to the starting lineup.

Bush (shoulder) is active for Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Analysis: There's been talk that Bush's shoulder may be an issue, but in terms of his immediate fantasy value, the return of Matt Forte limits Bush's fantasy reliability/upside Monday, assuming that Forte's ankle holds up in his return to action.

Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune indicated that he has heard that Bush is dealing with a shoulder issue that might be significant.

Analysis: Interestingly, Bush does not appear on the Bears' injury report, but the implication here is that he is dealing with some sort of nagging issue. Meanwhile, teammate Matt Forte is believed to be on track to play Monday night, barring a setback, which probably limits Bush' Week 4 upside anyway.

Forte still questionable for Monday night

Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte is officially questionable to play Monday night, though Around the League's Gregg Rosenthal does expect him to play.

Analysis: Forte could be limited in his production, and since he is not playing until Monday night, owners might want to consider safer options. Mike Bush would carry the load if Forte misses action.

Bush (shoulder) is not on the Chicago injury report report.

Analysis: Bush will be ready to start against Dallas on Monday if Matt Forte (ankle) is not, though it looks like the latter might be able to get back on to the field in at least a limited capacity.

Bush (shoulder) practiced without restrictions Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: Bush's status for Monday's game against the Cowboys doesn't seem to be in any danger, though the possible return of Matt Forte is likely to impact Bush's Week 4 workload, after he carried 18 times in Week 3.

Bush practiced Wednesday after "banging up" his shoulder this past weekend, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: The injury appears to be one that comes with the job description of running back, but we'll watch Bush's progress this week, especially with Matt Forte (ankle) expecting to play Monday at Dallas, ESPN Chicago reports.

Coach Lovie Smith said Tuesday that Bush "took some good shots" and "came out one play on a hard hit" during Sunday's win over the Rams, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: Smith said he has "a lot of guys that got a little banged up," but he did not provide any details a possible injury for Bush. There doesn't seem to be anything serious here, but it is worth keeping an eye on during the week's practices.

Bush had 18 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 18 yards Sunday against the Rams.

Analysis: Bush was used as Chicago's lead back with Matt Forte (ankle) out and he put in serviceable numbers, hitting pay dirt once. Backup Kahlil Bell saw 11 touches, so it looks as if the Bears aren't going to give all the backfield duties to Bush, while Forte is out. Bush is the best bet for production of the two, though in Week 4 he does face a Cowboys defense that just locked down the Bucs.

Forte to sit out Week 3

Matt Forte will not start against the Rams on Sunday. Michael Bush will get the call in Week 3.

Analysis: Bush will make for a good play against a Rams defense allowing 18.90 fantasy points to opposing RBs.

With Matt Forte out this week, Bush is in line to start at running back for the Bears on Sunday against the Rams.

Analysis: With Forte out of the mix, Bush will take aim (at home) Sunday at a Rams' defense that gave up 89 yards (on 16 carries for a 5.6 YPC) in Week 3's win over the Redskins.

Forte's injury is bad news for Chicago

Losing Matt Forte to an ankle injury will sting the Bears worse than most expect, writes NFL.com’s Albert Breer, even though they were smart to backstop him in the offseason with Michael Bush. All you have to do is look at how the team went into an offensive tailspin last year after Forte was injured.

Analysis: Until Forte returns, Bush will see a heavy workload. But if Chicago's main back is out for an extended period of time, there's no telling how Bush fares. Last season in Oakland, Bush began to wear down and was just average after Darren McFadden was lost to an injury.

Lovie Smith says Forte reports are wrong

Lovie Smith says RB Matt Forte does not have a high ankle sprain.

Analysis: Time will tell if Smith is just throwing up a smoke screen, but fantasy owners should keep a close eye on his practice participation this week. Michael Bush has proven he can carry the load, and could continue to vulture scores even if Forte returns.

Forte has high ankle sprain, Bush ready to go

Matt Forte reportedly has a high ankle sprain. If he is forced to miss time, RB Michael Bush says he's ready to pick up where Forte "left off."

Analysis: Bush looked good against the Packers in Forte's absence, and faces a good match up at home against the St. Louis Rams in Week 3.

Bush had 14 rushes for 54 yards Thursday against the Packers in relief of an injured Matt Forte.

Analysis: The big news here is Forte's ankle injury suffered in the third quarter and not allowing him to return. Bush filled in for Forte and immediately became the Bears' top running back. Though we do not know the extent of Forte's injury, Bush will slide in as the starter for now. A role he has demonstrated he can handled after his years filling in for an injured Darren McFadden during his days in Oakland, A very tasty matchup against the Rams awaits in Week 3 should Bush get the start for Chicago.

Bush had 12 carries for 42 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Colts.

Analysis: A bulk of Bush's work came in mop up duty, but the main thing to take away is the two touchdowns. Bush scored twice from the goal line and will continue to be used in that role for the foreseeable future, making him an intriguing flex option each week.

Bush had just one carry for two yards Friday against the Giants.

Analysis: The Chicago running game was nonexistent all night as the bruiser never got any red zone shots. He'll continue to be the goal-line guy in Chicago, but as long as Matt Forte is healthy, don't expect many heavy workload days.

The Bears are hoping to have Bush rush for 1,000 yards along with starter Matt Forte, The Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis: In Bush's free agent visit in the offseason, offensive coordinator Mike Tice told him of the teams desire to have two 1,000-yard backs. Bush has a high fantasy value for a backup already because he will see most of the goal line carries. Though two 1,000-yard backs in this era of passing is unlikely, when you add in Forte's injury history and role in the passing game, Bush should have solid value this season.

Bush battered his way to two first-quarter touchdowns during Chicago's preseason victory versus Washington on Saturday.

Analysis: Overall, Bush rushed five times for 21 yards (4.2 YPC) and added one reception for four more yards. He bounced back nicely from losing a fumble in his preseason debut with the Bears, with eight- and one-yard scores. Fantasy owners should expect Bush to receive the vast majority of carries inside the 10-yard line, considering Saturday's play calling.

Bush had three carries for two yards and a fumble Thursday against the Broncos.

Analysis: Not the start that Bush was looking for in his first game in a Bears' uniform. Chalk this one up to working the kinks out as the Bears still plan to use Bush as a complement to Matt Forte and in red-zone situations.

The Bears plan to give Bush the bulk of the team's goal line work in 2012, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis: "When Spencer and (tight ends coach Mike) DeBord do a study, who is successful in short yardage and goal line and why, it's the guy who can move the pile," Tice said. We have one of those guys." Short-yardage and goal-line situations have never been starter Matt Forte's strong suits, making Bush the main back in the red zone. Considering Marion Barber, who was even benched near the end of the season, was able to find pay dirt six times last year, Bush should have plenty of chances to match or top that number in Chicago in a sidekick role.

Bush continues to benefit from the absence of Matt Forte this offseason, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Analysis: "It's really helping him," Jay Cutler said of Bush getting more work. "He's such a pro. He does things the right way. He comes ready to work. He's a smart guy. He picks up the system quickly. Whenever we get Matt in here he's going to add a different dimension to this offense but right now Mike's doing a great job for us." If Forte at some point does return to the team, Bush is expected to be his more physical compliment in the trenches. However, the added work with the first-team and a Forte-less backfield could make Bush the new feature back in town for 2012.

Michael Bush: Four-Year Deal With CHI

Bush signed a four-year contract with the Bears on Thursday, Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune reports. Bush's deal is reportedly worth $14 million, with $7 million guaranteed.

Analysis: Bush will presumably replace Marion Barber as the top backup to Matt Forte, who the team franchised. He can also be insurance if the team can not come to an agreement on a contract with Forte. Along with the Bears, the Bengals and the Seahawks were also interested in the former Raiders back, a bruiser, who rushed for a career-high 977 yards last season.

At least four teams are reportedly in the running for Bush, NFL.com's Jason LaCanfora reports.

Analysis: Bush has already visited the Bengals and Bears, with the Seahawks trying to bring him in as well. The report hints that the Jets could be in the mix, and of course a return to Oakland can't be ruled out.

Michael Bush: Visits With Bears and Bengals on Tap

Bush is scheduled to visit the Bengals, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. He is also slated to visit the Bears.

Analysis: The Bengals are also taking a look at BenJarvus Green-Ellis, but if Bush signs with Cincinnati, he would have a much clearer path to carries there than he would in Chicago, with Matt Forte having been franchised by the Bears.

Michael Bush: Won't be Franchised by Raiders

Bush's teammate, Tyvon Branch, will be franchised by the Raiders, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Bush will be allowed to hit the free agent market and he could well be scooped up by another franchise looking for a power back.

Bush ended his 2011 campaign with a team-high 977 rush yards and an additional 418 receiving, with seven touchdowns on the ground and one more through the air.

Analysis: Bush was productive in his contract year, and was a fantasy spark in the lead running back role after Darren McFadden went down. Bush could now become a free agent, but with McFadden's shaky injury history, look for Oakland to potentially use its franchise tag to keep him a Raider.

Bush (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, according to Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times.

Analysis: Bush showed some grit last week playing at less than 100 percent. He'll continue to handle a large workload in Sunday's tilt against the Chargers, even with the possible return of Taiwan Jones and the ouside chance that Darren McFadden suits up.

Bush (shoulder) ran for 70 yards on 23 carries and added a pair of receptions for 24 yards in Saturday's overtime win at Kansas City.

Analysis: Bush averaged just three yards per carry, and had a long rush of only 11 yards, but gutted it out at less than 100 percent. Bush has definitely worn down a bit over the last couple of weeks, although he's still receiving the large majority of the work (Marcel Reese was the only other player to receive a carry, and he had just two rushes).

Michael Bush: Active Saturday

Bush (shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Bush will continue to shoulder the Raiders' rushing load Saturday, with Darren McFadden and Taiwan Jones still out.

The Raiders list Bush (shoulder) as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

Analysis: That said, the Raiders have already ruled out five players and coach Hue Jackson seems convinced that Bush will play. In any case, the Raiders kick off at 1:00 ET this week, so Bush's owners will be able to verify his status prior to the first wave of games Saturday.

Bush (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, 957 The Game's John Dickinson reports.

Analysis: Bush will be fine for Saturday's game against Kansas City as long as he avoids setbacks. With Darren McFadden (foot) still out, he should be in line for a sizable workload.

Coach Hue Jackson downplayed the sore shoulder that limited Bush at practice Wednesday, csnbayarea.com reports.

Analysis: With Darren McFadden still hurting and Taiwan Jones just working his way back, it makes sense to take some of the wear and tear of practice away from Bush, who has averaged 20.1 carries since taking over for McFadden. "Just got to take care of him," Jackson said of Bush. "Guy's been banging. Been banging quite a bit for the last several weeks."

Bush (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday, the Raiders' official site reports.

Analysis: Now that Bush's name has popped up on the Raiders' injury report, we'll track his status, but so far there's been nothing to suggest that his Week 16 status is in any peril.

Bush had 18 carries for 77 yards and seven receptions for 62 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

Analysis: Bush was held out of the end zone for just the second time in six games, but he topped 100 total yards for the first time since Week 11. Fellow running back Darren McFadden (foot) has a chance to return in Week 16, but if he does not play, Bush would once again be the primary running back for the Raiders.

Bush had 23 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Packers. He also added three receptions for 19 yards in the game.

Analysis: Bush has found the end zone in four of his last five games, but he has averaged just 3.2 YPC over his last four contests. While Bush has been a workhorse for the Raiders the last couple months, he may be looking at a time share at best in Week 15 if Darren McFadden (foot) returns.

Bush will be the Raiders' starting running back again in Sunday's game against the Packers, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis: Darren McFadden is still sidelined with a foot injury, giving Bush the start for the sixth straight week. Bush should find some holes against a Packers defense giving up 4.9 yards per carry, but he figures to be the focus of the Packers' defense, and his carries could be limited if the Raiders fall too far behind on the scoreboard. Bush is worth a start this week, but keep in mind he totaled just 45 yards in Week 13 in a blowout loss to the Dolphins.

Bush had a tough game in Sunday's loss at Miami, rushing for just 18 yards on 10 carries. He was able to catch three passes for 27 yards.

Analysis: The entire Raiders' offense struggled, as they were shut out until a couple of touchdowns late in the fourth quarter. Bush had a long run of just three yards, so the Dolphins obviously made a concerted effort to stop him. Bush could shoulder the load again next week, as Darren McFadden (foot) may miss one more game, although nothing official has been announced on McFadden's status.

Bush had 24 rushes for 69 yards with a touchdown and caught four passes for 24 yards in Sunday's win over the Bears.

Analysis: Bush could have had two scores, but a touchdown reception was called back due to a penalty. He's been a true workhorse back while filling in for an injured Darren McFadden (foot).

Bush had a game-high 30 carries for 109 yards with a touchdown and caught two passes for 20 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win at Minnesota.

Analysis: Bush also had a fourth-quarter fumble that led to a Vikings' touchdown, and helped them get back in the game. Still, it was another productive game for Bush, as he filled in for Darren McFadden (foot). There doesn't seem like much that can slow down Bush, at least not until McFadden returns.

Michael Bush: Set to Start Third Straight

Bush will make his third straight start in Week 11 with Darren McFadden (foot) ruled out.

Analysis: Bush -- who has been effective in his last three games (averaging 5.8, 5.1 and 5.2 yards per carry, respectively) -- will take on a Vikings team that is allowing just 93.9 rushing yards per game, but considering he will receive nearly all the carries, and has racked up 482 total yards over the last three weeks, he should be considered a viable starting option in nearly all formats this week.

With Darren McFadden still out, Bush is once again in line to serve as the Raiders' lead back Sunday against the Vikings.

Analysis: Bush, who has been effective in his last three games (averaging 5.8, 5.1 and 5.2 yards per carry, respectively) will take aim Sunday against a Minnesota defense that has allowed 93.9 rushing yards per game, which is good for sixth in the league.

Michael Bush: Huge Effort In Victory

Bush picked up 157 rushing yards, 85 receiving yards and a touchdown in Thursday's victory over the Chargers.

Analysis: Bush racked up more than 100 total yards for the third straight week, and his 242 yards Thursday were the most by a Raiders player since the team joined the NFL in 1970. Bush will lose some touches if Darren McFadden (foot) plays in Week 11, but he has established himself as a starting running back in nearly all formats whenever McFadden is out.

Bush had 19 carries for 96 yards and caught a pair of passes for 33 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Denver.

Analysis: Bush probably would have gone over 100 yards rushing, but saw just three carries in the fourth quarter. Even still, he did a good job filling in for an injured Darren McFadden, who missed the game with a foot injury. Meanwhile, rookie Taiwan Jones wasn't much of a factor, rushing for just one yard on two carries.
