D'Andre Swift

Kareem Hunt was reportedly "another option" for the Bears before he re-signed with the Chiefs.

Chicago re-signed RB Travis Homer on Monday. It remains possible the Bears draft a running back early next month which could have an impact on Swift's role.

The Bears are not expected to cut D’Andre Swift this offseason, though the team could look to bolster its running back room, per insider reports. Swift, locked in for $8 million in 2025 with most of it guaranteed, underwhelmed in 2024 relative to his three-year, $24 million deal signed last spring. Chicago’s offense struggled broadly, which may have hindered him more than his own play, but new HC Ben Johnson’s arrival should lift the scheme. Still, with ample draft picks and cap room, the Bears might add a new face—or at least competition—to the backfield, leaving Swift’s role in flux.

Fantasy Impact

Swift’s 2024 was a letdown for fantasy managers, and his grip on the Bears’ lead-back job looks shaky if upgrades arrive. Johnson’s system could spark the run game, but a new addition might cap Swift at a committee role rather than a workhorse gig. His $8 million tag keeps him rostered, yet fantasy value hinges on how much Chicago invests elsewhere. For now, he’s a mid-to-late round pick with RB2 potential—temper expectations unless he holds off challengers. Keep an eye on draft and free agency moves for clarity.

D'Andre Swift carried the ball 20 times for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Swift was able to put up a pretty solid performance on Sunday. He was able to find the end zone once, but outside of that, he wasn't particularly productive in any one area. He slowed down over the back half of the 2024 season, but his strong performance in the first half of the season will offer reasonable optimism to fantasy managers for his outlook in 2025 and beyond.

D'Andre Swift carried the ball 12 times for 53 yards while also catching four of his five targets for 28 yards in the Bears' 6-3 Week 17 loss to the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

Swift has struggled out of the Chicago backfield of late, rushing for less than 70 yards in five of his last six games. The running back remains a risky lineup option ahead of a tough Week 18 divisional matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

D'Andre Swift carried the ball nine times for 20 yards while catching all three of his targets for 33 yards in the Bears' 34-17 Week 16 loss to the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Swift has struggled to make a consistent impact leading the Chicago backfield attack, rushing for less than 40 yards in five of his last six games. The running back remains a risky lineup option for fantasy managers in all formats, with a Week 17 Thursday night matchup against the Seattle Seahawks up next.
