D'Andre Swift

D'Andre Swift arguably had a career year last season for the Bears as the RB16 in fantasy points per game. He finished with 257 touches and 1,386 total yards while splitting work with Kyle Monangai. Monangai's presence didn't hurt Swift a ton as he was the RB20 in fantasy points per game after Monangai's emergence in Week 9. During Weeks 10-18, Swift remained the preferred passing down back for Chicago with a 43% route share (Monangai 28.8%, per Fantasy Points Data), but he split up the red zone work with Monangai, with 18 red zone rushing attempts to Monangai's 19. This is worrisome, but not something to freak out about in today's NFL, where most teams are utilizing some form of committee approach. It was nice to see Swift's efficiency numbers bounce back after a horrible 2024 season. Last year, he ranked 13th in explosive run rate, 11th in rushing success rate, and 20th in missed tackle rate. Swift should be a mid-range RB2 again this season.

D'Andre Swift carried the ball 10 times for 40 yards and added one catch for eight yards in Chicago's 19-16 loss to Detroit on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Swift's 40 yards rushing on Sunday marked his lowest since running for only 15 yards against Pittsburgh on November 23. The sixth-year running back closes out the regular season with career-highs in rushing yards (1,087), rushing touchdowns (9), and total yards from scrimmage (1,386).
