Ben Johnson showed a run-first offense last year, and in Detroit before that. That makes me believe the Bears player mostly likely to be a hit is Swift. Swift should still enjoy a large percentage of the touches because he's the better pass catcher.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Swift is the best Bears value; run-first scheme and pass-catching protect his role.

Swift is the Bears player most likely to hit despite the market pricing in Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland, and D'Andre Burden heavily. Ben Johnson showed a run-first offense last year and in Detroit before that, suggesting Swift will be the primary beneficiary. While Kyle Monangai (currently banged up) could take more rushing work as the season progresses, Swift should enjoy a large percentage of touches because he is the better pass catcher, giving him protection if the Bears defense struggles or Williams doesn't take the expected leap—he will remain on the field if the Bears are trailing. The source believes Swift's price has risen recently but is still going about a half-round too late.
