I have always been a big Michael Bush fan, once he hit the NFL coming off his college injury I thought that after a year he would push Justin Fargas out of the starting job and be the Raiders lead back for years to come.
Enter the tantalizing Darren McFadden, the Raiders now have two, arguably, equally talented backs that provide very different dynamics and with Fargas out of the lead back picture expect both Bush and McFadden to flourish in the added space Jason Campbell will provide them.
The Raiders passing game looks to be in better shape this year and this, as intimated above will only help Michael Bush as the Thunder in a Thunder and Lightning duo with McFadden. The Raiders are going to incorporate some power blocking schemes and want Bush to use with physical tools to become more of a traditional power back.
Michael Bush has the chance to be a very solid ADP value pick this year as he is likely to crack double digit touchdowns and will likely crack 1000 all purpose yards. Draft with confidence as a low end RB3 or high value flex player.

This backfield looks primed for 450+ carries enough for both running backs to have good fantasy seasons
