| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | After being barely utilized as a runner in college, Gibson came out on fire in his rookie season. He averaged 4.7 YPC and 11 rushing touchdowns, which is absurd for a player who saw only 33 total carries in college. Heading into 2021, the sky's the limit for Gibson and what he can do with this experience to his name. He should receive a larger workload this upcoming season and this offense is going to be more potent due to the QB upgrade. You're going to have to pay up for Gibson and it's hard to take him over some more proven names, but this is a swing for the fences selection that has a very good chance of making it out of the park. | Based on pure talent, Swift already belongs in the top-12 RB conversation in the NFL. Unfortunately, it's hard to have faith that Swift will finish in that range this year for fantasy purposes. While he could see plenty of targets in the passing game, the scoring opportunities on this bad Detroit Lions team probably aren't going to be very plentiful. Additionally, he now has Jamaal Williams in this backfield to compete for touches with and Anthony Lynn has been vocal about his love for utilizing a committee approach. Swift is going to be a safe RB2 for your roster this season because of the floor he'll bring you week in and week out. However, due to the offense he's in, there's virtually no upside. Think about it this way...would you have been as excited about Swift last season if he were on the New York Jets or Jacksonville Jaguars and in a near 50/50 time share? That could be the exact situation we're looking at this season in Detroit. My Very Early Projection: 206-843-5 rushing & 54-428-1 receiving. |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | After a RB13 finish as a raw rookie, it's hard not to be seduced by all the reports out of the WFT that the team is looking develop him in a CMC-like role | DET likely to be among worst NFL offenses and Jamaal Williams getting lots of lip service love from OC Lynn - still, there's 70-catch upside if he can soon put groin issue in past |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Well this call could make me look really smart or really foolish. Just an fyi- the smart money is on foolish haha! Antonio Gibson is still recovering from a turf toe injury he suffered in late 2020. That's a concern. If he's okay, then things could get real interesting. Coach Ron Rivera said he wants him to be more involved in the passing game (Note- he played WR in college). He came into the NFL really raw as a RB which means he could make a huge leap. Gibson is one of the few RBs with major three down upside if things break right, well assuming it's not his toe. He's big (220 lbs), fast (ran a 4.39 40 yard dash), and a natural playmaker. Can his toe hold up? That's the million dollar question? If it does, lookout! Gibbaay! | INJURY UPDATE- Swift has missed a lot of practice time after injuring his groin. Monitor this situation closely as August progresses. As soon as we hear anything we will let you know. Stay tuned........ Swift is a really talented RB, but he isn't big enough to be a three down RB. He'll wear down. The Lions under a new GM signed RB Jamaal Williams from Green Bay in free agency. He'll probably see the goal line work. He's a better power runner. There's also rumors that Detroit is interested in Todd Gurley. Some members of the Lions front office came over from L.A. when Gurley was playing for the Rams. This management has no ties to Swift. Detroit's offense isn't that great anyway. This is one of those where I like the player, but hate the situation type of deals. Why some analysts are taking DeAndre Swift so early (3rd round) is beyond me. They might as well take Taylor Swift instead. At that price point, I think DeAndre Swift is a bust in 2021. Avoid |
| Kevin Wheeler The Draft Zone | Last season we thought Antonio Gibson would be a receiving threat out of the backfield and likely limited rushing, given his collegiate experience. Gibson's most likely utilization comps for 2021 are Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry with 60-70% attempts and 5-8% of targets. *If* he does take over McKissic's passing-down work - we are talking certified beast usage. McKissic seems very likely to continue his same role, but I would put Gibson's odds as more likely to keep McKissick off the field than JT is to displace Hines or Henry to spike in targets. Gibson just barely trailed McKissic in YPRR and PFF receiving grade last year. Gibson was not good in limited pass pro chances, that's where he needs to show improvement. | Last season, as a rookie, D'Andre had 57 targets in 13 games. He was on pace for 70 targets. Through off-season departures and additions, the Lions have 362 targets available. @RobFFAddict If you don't think D'Andre Swift is a great value at the end of the 3rd round... I assure you, life as a fantasy "analyst" is not in your future. 75 target FLOOR - @JLarkytweets Seeing people who aren't injury experts still making late comments about D'Andre Swift's injury when he's been making great plays in practice this week is interesting. It has influenced several people, based on drafts and Twitter. According to @PFF_Fantasy, D'Andre Swift has the third-hardest schedule among running backs. Insane talent, pass-catching upside, heavy usage, terrible team, negative game-scripts, tough schedule, new QB/coach. |
| Zachary Hanshew FantasyPros | I'm a huge fan of Gibson and legitimately believe Washington focuses on the run game this season and gives him plenty of work. He and Taylor both have RB1 upside, and I hate to leave either of them out of the top-12, but the bottom line is there are so many talented backs in the RB10-15 range that not everyone can make the cut. This is praise for the top-12 rather than an indictment on Gibson. | Swift finished as RB18 in his first season thanks to 46 receptions and 10 total scores. Though he amassed only 160 total touches, Swift posted almost 1,000 yards in just 13 games. Jamaal Williams isn't a legitimate threat to take a ton of work from Swift, but he may be a caterpillar in the buttermilk in Swift's path to an RB1 season. Consider the second-year Lion a mid-range RB2. |
| Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | I like Gibson, it's not that I don't. The issue is that he's not heavily involved in the passing game, and he topped 94 yards on the ground just twice all of last season, with both of those games coming against the Cowboys. In fact, 28.7 percent of his fantasy points in 2020 were against the Cowboys. I can certainly see Gibson finishing higher than my ranking, but those above him have either (a) a more consistent track record, or (b) less question marks. He scored a touchdown once every 15.5 carries last year, a number that's surely to go up. | There were certainly flashes of what could be a great three-down back with Swift last year, but the Lions seem to have alternate plans. They snagged Jamaal Williams in free agency and signed him to a two-year deal. Then, they drafted Jermar Jefferson. Then, they brought in Todd Gurley on a free agent visit. While they didn't sign him, it's not promising for Swift's outlook, as they clearly want this to be somewhat of a timeshare. It's not to say timeshare backs can't get into the top-12 conversation - they can, but it requires a lot of scoring opportunities, something we're not expecting from the Lions offense. Swift is an extremely talented football player, but situation and opportunity knock him into clear-cut RB2 territory. That's especially true with him being "iffy" for Week 1 because he was so delayed in getting his conditioning up to speed due to his groin injury. |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | More positive game-scripts & TD opportunities w/ Fitz, plus Scott Turner could just decide to give Gibson the full CMac bellcow treatment he so deserves. McKissic still playing third downs in the preseason is annoying, but Gibson is flashing in all facets of the game | Improved line, huge target upside, run-it-all-out coach. Love this offseason for Swift -- except Anthony Lynn calling Jamaal WIlliams the "A Back?" And then Swift missing so much time w/ a groin injury. Upside remains sky-high |
| Dan Harris FantasyPros | It wasn't a bad rookie season by any means for Swift, as he finished as the 18th-ranked running back in half-PPR formats and did strong work as a receiver, totaling an impressive 1.58 yards per route run. New offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn made some waves with his comments about Jamaal Williams essentially playing as the primary back, but, even if true, we've seen backs in Lynn's system succeed as complementary pass-catching options. There are also plenty of vacated targets in Detroit and Jared Goff is sure to look for Swift as his safety net. Add it all up and Swift is a decent RB2 in half-PPR formats, but one with a fairly hard cap on his upside. | |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Gibson averaged 13.2 fantasy points per game in his rookie year and he should have a lot of upside in his second year if Washington ups his usage in his second year. | Swift averaged a healthy 12.8 fantasy points in 13 games last year and he figures to see more work as the featured back in Detroit. He should be an upside RB1 in 2021 behind one of the more underrated offensive lines in the league. |
| Tim Petropoulos BRoto Fantasy | The Lions have one of the best and deepest offensive lines in football coming into 2021, which is great news for Swift. Even better news is that he is on a team that just acquired a QB that loves to throw to the RB (Goff) in an offense that lacks outside weapons. Swift could easily see upwards of 100 targets for the Lions this season, even with Jammal Williams also getting touches. New OC Anthony Lynn has produced two RB2's or better multiple times in his time with the Chargers, and with almost nowhere else to go to on offense, the offense will run through Swift and Williams. | |
