What the Experts Are Saying
Well, so much for D’Andre Swift relinquishing the lead back role in Chicago coming out of the bye. Last week, Swift smashed with 16 touches and 175 total yards as the RB6 for the week. Overall, he is the RB14 in fantasy points per game, ranking 15th in snap share, 11th in opportunity share, and 18th in weighted opportunities. He is 16th among backs in targets and has a 13.1% target share (12th among running backs). Swift has averaged 17 touches and 89.4 total yards. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks 25th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 44th in yards after contact per attempt. He has enjoyed the 12th-best yards before contact per attempt this season getting 2.3 yards upfield on average before colliding with any defender. Swift should have another solid day, but I don’t know if it’s a spot for another ceiling game. The Saints have been a confounding run defense, ranking 16th in rushing yards per game while allowing the ninth-highest missed tackle rate, but holding backs to the seventh-lowest yards after contact per attempt and yards before contact per attempt and 14th-lowest rushing success rate. Swift is dealing with a groin injury and has been listed as questionable, but he is expected to play. He had limited practices on Thursday and Friday this week.
