Fantasy Football Player Notes

Last week, the Bears ran the ball down the Eagles' throats with success and hid their young quarterback. I could see Ben Johnson deploying a similar attack plan this week. Last week, Swift played 52.9% of the snaps with a 47.5% route share. He had one of five red zone rushing attempts and finished with 19 touches and 138 total yards. Overall, he his the RB13 in fantasy points per game. Among 55 qualifying backs, Swift ranks eighth in explosive run rate and 16th in missed tackle rate. Since Week 9, Green Bay's run defense has displayed some give, ranking 15th in explosive run rate while allowing the 11th-most rushing yards per game and the 14th-highest yards before contact per attempt.

Last week, Ben Johnson leaned on the ground game to help protect Caleb Williams. I think Chicago should and will deploy a similar attack plan against Green Bay. Last week, Monangai finished with 22 carries and 130 rushing yards as the RB8 for the week. He had four of five running back red zone rushing attempts while playing 44.7% of the snaps with a 22.5% route share (zero targets). Among 55 qualifying backs, Monangai ranks 11th in yards after contact per attempt and 16th in explosive run rate. Since Week 9, Green Bay's run defense has displayed some give, ranking 15th in explosive run rate while allowing the 11th-most rushing yards per game and the 14th-highest yards before contact per attempt.
