The deal that sent Reggie Bush to Miami is great for the fantasy value of Daniel Thomas and Mark Ingram.

The Saints and Dolphins have worked out terms of a trade for RB Reggie Bush, contingent on him agreeing to a new contract, according to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports and NFL Network.

The Saints might have two Heisman Trophy winners in their backfield this season … or they might not. By the time they sign first-round draft pick Mark Ingram, they could already have cut ties with Reggie Bush – who is still under contract but might be asked to take a paycut or be released.

Who says the NFL and the NFLPA don’t get along? The NFLPA is holding its annual Rookie Premiere event in Los Angeles on Friday, with recent draft picks from all 32 teams on hand – mainly to have photos taken for football cards. The NFLPA has been kind enough to allow NFL Network and NFL.com cameras into the event,

Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has a ton of talent, but offseason red flags make him a risk-reward option in fantasy land.

There was only one running back taken in the first-round — Mark Ingram to the Saints at No. 28 — but our “Path to the Draft” crew thinks that there are a couple of rookie running backs who could make a big impact in 2011.

Defensive line saw the biggest move from the previous 10 drafts, with 12 guys getting plucked where an average of just under eight were taken in years prior.

NEW YORK –- In the days leading up to the NFL Draft, much of what prognosticators see playing out is a matter of educated guessing. But some names continue to emerge as players who could slide in the first round Thursday night — a topic that was discussed among NFL Network’s analysts during their Tuesday production meeting.

It may not be “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” but it is 12 days until Christmas for a bunch of college kids … the best amateur football players in the country.

The Dolphins backfield could have a new look in 2011, but what will it mean for fantasy owners? Right now, it’s all a guessing game.

Between the emphasis on the passing game, backfields by committee, and the realization that good running backs can be found later in the draft, first-round running backs are becoming a rarity.

It’s 22 days until go-time for clubs looking to fill holes in their roster… 22 days as we count down the Path to Primetime. So what does the number 22 signify in our NFL draft conscious?

Based on the current state of things around the NFL, it’s tough to find any news that has major fantasy significance (sigh). So when several coaches and other organizational leaders discussed the state of their teams during the annual Owners Meetings, you can only imagine how quickly I jumped on the information.

The Saints were on the clock on “Path to the Draft” on Wednesday and Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune joined the show to discuss where the team could be heading in the draft. The Saints could be in a tough spot with a potential 26 unrestricted free agents and one of the highest payrolls from last season. And the team would still like to lockup QB Drew Brees long term.

As I expected, Marcell Dareus and Mark Ingram did not disappoint Wednesday.
