Michael Bush to the Bears? Oh, no

Michael Bush is with the Chicago Bears.

One, that doesn't help Matt Forte's value.

Two, it doesn't help Bush's value either.

Forte, someone I traded for late last season in one of my dynasty leagues, took a hit. He was a late first round or early second round pick.

Bush will steal carries and likely touches around the goal.

At this stage, I'd take Forte in the third or fourth round and grab Bush as a handcuff.

And for dynasty leagues, I'd expect Bush to be the main man in Chicago in 2013.

Tebow's droppable in fantasy formats

Tim Tebow's value just dropped.

While I think he's raw as a quarterback, he did have value as a fantasy quarterback last year with the Denver Broncos.

Now that he's a Jet, he's droppable. Don't even think of keeping him.

I don't understand the Jets' extension of Mark Sanchez. And, today, I don't understand trading for Tebow.

McGahee's value drops with Manning

Willis McGahee had a great season in 2011 with the Denver Broncos.

He rushed for 1,199 yards and had four touchdowns.

With Peyton Manning under center, I'd expect McGahee's numbers to drop.

The Broncos turned their offense into a run-first, run-second and run-third style.

That won't be the same.

With Manning, I'd expect McGahee, who'll turn 31 in October, to get four TDs again, but I think he'll miss out on 1,000 yards.

RG3 to Redskins?

It looks like the Redskins will get Robert Griffin III in the NFL Draft, if news reported Friday night is correct.

The Redskins traded with the Rams to get the second overall pick in April's draft, presumably to get Griffin.

It's a bold move by the Redskins to get Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner. And I wouldn't be too concerned about a lack of draft picks, either. Washington has plenty of bucks left under the salary cap to fill needs through free agency.

The Redskins swap No. 1 picks with the Rams, and throw in two future No. 1s and a second-rounder, according to a FoxSports.com report.

The Rams make out quite well, too, to fill their needs.

I'm really intrigued with Roy Helu there with Griffin.
