D'Andre Swift
RB - Chicago Bears
Availability
D'Andre Swift carried the ball 16 times for 93 yards and one touchdown while also hauling in a team-leading seven receptions on as many targets for 72 yards in the Bears' 24-18 Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Swift enjoyed a breakout performance out of the Chicago backfield Sunday, finishing with more than 30 rushing yards for the first time in four games in a winning effort. Fantasy managers will hope to ride the versatile running back to another strong performance against a vulnerable Carolina Panthers defense in Week 5.
D'Andre Swift rushed 13 times for only 20 yards in Week 3's loss against the Colts. He also caught two passes for 22 yards.
Fantasy Impact
Swift's lack of production isn't all him, but the fact that Roschon Johnson had ten more yards with five fewer carries is troubling. Swift managers were hoping for a breakout game against the abysmal Colts' run defense, but he couldn't get anything going. After being stymied by one of the worst rush defenses in the league, Swift will be a risky, touchdown-dependent fantasy play moving forward, especially if he cedes more work to Roschon Johnson.
D'Andre Swift rushed the ball 14 times for 18 yards and caught four passes for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Houston Texans.
Fantasy Impact
Swift continued to struggle on Sunday night. He averaged just 1.3 yards per carry over the course of the night and totaled just 42 yards on 18 touches, and he hasn't even hit 50 total rushing yards on the season yet. Fantasy managers should be extremely concerned with how he and Chicago's offense looks right now, and he should be benched for the foreseeable future.
D'Andre Swift rushed for 30 yards on 10 attempts in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans. He failed to catch his only target.
Fantasy Impact
It was a disappointing day for Swift as the offense failed to move the ball for much more than a field goal. What's even more concerning is that 20 of his 30 yards came on one play. This meant that his other nine carries netted 10 total yards. For managers who may have drafted him as their RB2, this was certainly a disappointing performance and one that could have managers putting Swift on a "wait and see" basis of when to start him again.
D'Andre Swift ran for three years on one carry in the Bears preseason Week 1 game against the Bills. He also caught a pass for 42 yards.
Fantasy Impact
It was interestingly Khalil Herbert who saw nine carries in that game against Buffalo. Swift is still expected to open the season as the Bears lead back, but it figures to be a committee with Herbert limiting his upside.
