ESPN Fantasy Football on D'Andre Swift
From the article
Swift exited last Thursday's practice due to abdominal cramping. He returned to the field fully Monday and is locked in for a favorable Week 1 matchup. Carolina struggled mightily against the run last season, allowing 4.4 yards per carry...Swift is poised to immediately handle a heavy workload...Swift produced 17.8 fantasy points per game in contests in which he exceeded 15 touches.
STACKED’s take
Swift's volume and Carolina's weak run defense make him a reliable RB2 in Week 1.
Swift is locked in for a favorable Week 1 matchup against Carolina, which allowed 4.4 yards per carry, surrendered 20 rushing touchdowns, and ranked 31st in pressure rate last season. The newly rebuilt Panthers defensive unit will likely still be finding its footing in the season opener. Swift is poised to handle a heavy workload with Kyle Monangai unlikely to handle his usual complement of touches after a hyperextended knee. Swift produced 17.8 fantasy points per game in contests exceeding 15 touches, and he averaged 14 carries and three receptions over the first five weeks of 2025 before Monangai earned double-digit carries. With a career-high 42.6% of his carries gaining five or more yards, Swift profiles as a rock-solid RB2 for the opening week.
