Bush can take off for a big gain or a score any time he gets the ball in space, and he's already a No. 1 fantasy running back in points-per-reception leagues. Your second choice should be Addai, who is more versatile than Maroney and plays in one of the league's best offenses. Addai and Maroney will both become top fantasy running backs, but Addai has better receiving skills and is further along at the pro level so far than Maroney.
