I settled on Bush at No. 42 among running backs, which means he's certainly not a starter for me and probably won't be ranked well in Thursday's flex rankings either. I just don't trust that Bush is going to get enough touches to matter statistically, because, well, it has been a really long time since he has. I think his presence, whether as a receiving decoy out of the backfield or actual threat, will help Drew Brees, whom I ranked third at quarterback this week -- yes, ahead of the great Michael Vick! -- but I still expect marginal numbers overall.
For Eric's thoughts on ranking the Saints' backs, Mark Sanchez and others, you must be an ESPN Insider.
