PositiveUsageOct 31, 2026
Dominated backfield work to the tune of an 86 percent snap share and 26 touches in last Thursday's win over the Patriots; should see another massive snap count if Kyle Monangai can't make it back for the NFC showdown.PositiveProjectionOct 28, 2026
RB11 in PPR points per game (17.5), outscoring Derrick Henry and Ashton Jeanty among many others to start the season. The return of Kyle Monangai (toe) would bump him down to ~RB16 range, but if Monangai remains out, Swift warrants wheels-up consideration even in a tough matchup. Ben Johnson handed Swift 26 touches on an elite 86 percent snap rate last week. However, the next RB to score 20-plus fantasy points against the Seahawks defense will be the first since Rachaad White in Week 5 last season.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
RB D'Andre Swift took 86% of snaps and 26 of 28 RB opportunities (93%); while his increased workload shares were partially the product of a tight game, it was still surprising given that Roschon Johnson lost a fumble last week and continued to get carries afterward. Swift just needs to stay healthy and he's locked in for plenty of work and plenty of scoring.PositiveUsageOct 23, 2026
D'Andre Swift took 94% of snaps in 11 personnel and 35% in 12 personnel, with the 35% number representing a recovery from 19% the previous week, indicating growing role in two-wide sets; Cole Kmet's knee injury brings possibility of more three-wide usage in neutral situations.NegativeDepth ChartOct 23, 2026
Roschon Johnson was marked as Stock ⬇ (declining stock) in the Patriots-Bears box score breakdown, suggesting reduced role or performance concerns.PositiveUsageOct 23, 2026
Swift played a season-high 86% of snaps and took 26 of 28 RB opportunities; reversed his season-long trend of reduced playing time in the fourth quarter by taking 91% of fourth-quarter snaps; increased workload shares were partially the product of a tight game, but still surprising given Roschon Johnson's fumble last week; Swift just needs to stay healthy and he's locked in for plenty of work and plenty of scoring.PositiveUsageOct 22, 2026
Swift added two more rushing touchdowns in Week 6 and continues to be a focal point of the Bears offense with the return of Caleb Williams; he's benefiting from Ben Johnson's run-heavy scheme.PositiveProjectionOct 20, 2026
Swift is the RB11 in PPR points per game; ranked RB9 for Week 7 against New England on Thursday Night Football; continues to cede more work to Roschon Johnson than fantasy managers would prefer in the absence of Kyle Monangai, but there's weekly multi-TD upside whenever the Bears offense has its collective stuff together; averaging four-year highs in receptions (3) and receiving yards (23.3) per game with 15-20 touches providing plenty for RB1 treatment inside the Caleb Williams-led attack.PositiveProjectionOct 20, 2026
Ranked RB9 for Week 7 vs. NE on Thursday Night Football; RB11 in PPR points per game; continues to cede work to Roschon Johnson in absence of Kyle Monangai, but has weekly multi-TD upside when Bears offense is functioning; averaging four-year highs in receptions (3) and receiving yards (23.3) per game; 15-20 touches is plenty for RB1 treatment in Caleb Williams-led offense.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
D'Andre Swift played 70% of snaps through three quarters and took 19 of 26 RB opportunities, including three of four carries inside the 5-yard line (scoring on two). The source notes Ben Johnson remains mindful of Swift's workloads and has confidence in No. 3 back Roschon Johnson, suggesting Swift is unlikely to see 25-30 touches anytime soon even with Kyle Monangai sidelined.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Swift took 59% of snaps and handled a 46% route share, with 16 carries and 4 receiving targets (20 of 41 RB opportunities, 49%). He gained 44 yards on the ground and 26 receiving yards.NegativeInjuryOct 19, 2026

Despite underwhelming 9-43-1 rushing and 4-30-0 receiving lines last week with Kyle Monangai sidelined, Swift played 76 percent of snaps in the first three quarters before being out-snapped in the fourth due to game script; the source treats Swift as a borderline RB1 he's been all season, noting the Falcons' front-seven weakness (Ravens managed 208 yards with backup QB).NegativeUsageOct 13, 2026
Swift posted underwhelming 9-43-1 rushing and 4-30-0 receiving lines last week with Kyle Monangai (foot) sidelined, but those touch numbers were more due to rough game script than Roschon Johnson being a real threat; Swift played 76 percent of the offense's snaps during the first three quarters before being out-snapped 18-to-5 in the fourth with the Bears down multiple touchdowns; the Falcons front-seven looked like a major strength in Weeks 1-4, but the Ravens managed to rack up 208 yards on them with a backup QB.PositiveRoleOct 13, 2026

Swift took 71% of snaps and 14 of 20 RB opportunities (70%), including a 24-9 advantage over Roschon Johnson for pass snaps; he was pulled for the final two drives. He had nine carries for 43 yards and five targets for negative-4 yards.PositiveRoleOct 9, 2026
Listed as potential workload beneficiary from running back injuries; likely to see increased carries and touches in Week 5.PositiveInjuryOct 9, 2026
D'Andre Swift cleared to play this week after missing time with a hip/knee injury, returning to availability for Week 5.PositiveProjectionOct 8, 2026
In the source's game prediction, Swift is projected to gallop for 150 combined yards and two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving, against Green Bay.PositiveMatchupOct 8, 2026
Swift faces Green Bay, which ranks 31st in rushing DVOA, 28th in rushing yards per game allowed, and tied-29th in rushing TDs allowed; the source gives a slight lean to Swift and Roschon Johnson in this matchup.NegativeInjuryOct 8, 2026
Swift is nursing multiple injuries, limiting his availability for the Bears' offense; with Kyle Monangai ruled out, Roschon Johnson and his career 3.8 YPC may have to step up.PositiveMatchupOct 8, 2026
Swift is listed among running backs with good matchups in Week 5, traveling to Green Bay.NegativeUsageOct 5, 2026
Had a 61% snap share early in the game with a 15:12 carry advantage and 2:0 target advantage over Monangai before losing a fumble early in the third quarter. After the fumble, Swift didn't play a single snap for the remainder of the game. Despite the mid-game benching, Swift's value could actually increase if Monangai ends up missing time with the thumb injury, as Swift would reclaim the lead role.NegativeInjuryOct 5, 2026
Swift (hip) didn't practice Wednesday; it's unclear if he's at risk of missing time, but even if he were out, Roschon Johnson would be primed for a significant role against Green Bay's injury-shredded defense.NegativeProjectionOct 5, 2026
Swift was tackled at the 1-yard line twice on the same drive in Week 4 and did not score a touchdown on either opportunity.PositiveInjuryOct 2, 2026

The source projects Swift to manage 70 yards and a receiving touchdown, indicating solid production in the Bears backfield.PositiveProjectionSep 29, 2026
Ranked RB18 for Week 4 vs. NYJ; has gone for 134, 99, and 88 total yards on 19, 21, and 22 touches respectively in a Case Keenum-led Bears offense; leads Kyle Monangai 4-0 in goal-line carries inside the 5-yard line and faces a Jets defense just flamed by Jahmyr Gibbs and the Lions.PositiveProjectionSep 29, 2026
Noted as a top-10 fantasy running back through three weeks of the season, alongside Chuba Hubbard. Mentioned as one of the elite RBs with snap rates of at least 67 percent and sufficient volume to start in fantasy lineups.PositiveUsageSep 29, 2026
Strong finish in Week 3 win for Chicago Bears, indicating solid late-game involvement and production in a winning effort.PositiveUsageSep 24, 2026
With Caleb Williams sidelined and potentially Case Keenum starting, D'Andre Swift will see an even heavier dose of carries than usual; the source projects him to lead the Chicago backfield with 100 combined yards and a score.PositiveProjectionSep 24, 2026
Projected to lead the CHI backfield with 100 combined yards and a touchdown in Monday's game vs. PHI.PositiveUsageSep 24, 2026
Expected to see even heavier usage than usual in Monday's game vs. PHI if Case Keenum or Tyson Bagent starts at quarterback, as the Bears will rely more on the run game with a weak passing option.NegativeUsageSep 23, 2026
Swift is averaging 5.0 yards per carry, which is 2.3 yards per carry lower than backup Kyle Monangai (7.3 YPC), suggesting the backup is outperforming the starter despite Swift's lead role; this discrepancy may indicate efficiency concerns or usage differences.NegativeProjectionSep 23, 2026
Swift is ranked RB24 for Week 3 but faces a tough matchup against the Eagles on Monday night while looking at either Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum under center; Michael Penix notes this is the point in his ranks where he would really lean toward the WR in a close start/sit question.NegativeProjectionSep 21, 2026
Swift was tackled at the 1-yard line and lost a fumble on the play, losing both a potential touchdown and the ball.NegativeProjectionSep 21, 2026

Was the only Bear to score double-digit PPR points, handling a 67% snap share and 21 of 34 RB opportunities (62%). The split between Swift and Monangai hasn't really changed; they often alternate drives, but Swift tends to dominate the work in negative game script and the highest-leverage moments.PositiveUsageSep 21, 2026
D'Andre Swift caught five passes to salvage his fantasy day in Week 2, demonstrating value as a pass-catching option in the Bears offense.NegativeMatchupSep 17, 2026
Swift is listed among tough RB matchups for Week 2, facing Minnesota.PositiveRoleSep 17, 2026
Swift is identified as one of three running backs (alongside David Montgomery and Bucky Irving) who should be locked into lineups in even the shallowest of 12-team leagues following strong Week 1 production.NegativeUsageSep 15, 2026
Ranked tenth in the 'cool shit' metric (53%) in Week 1 (min. 10 touches), indicating moderate efficiency in touchdowns, explosive plays, and tackle avoidance.PositiveProjectionSep 15, 2026
Looked GOOD on his way to scoring a trio of touchdowns in Week 1; likely will continue to cede plenty of work to Kyle Monangai (56% snaps vs. 44%), but that might not really matter if Ben Johnson's group functions as a top-3 scoring offense; Swift has posted 13-30-0, 19-79-0, 17-53-0 and 21-90-0 rushing performances in four matchups against the Vikings since signing with the Bears in 2024.NegativeProjectionSep 15, 2026

Looked GOOD on his way to scoring a trio of touchdowns in Week 1. The Bears' recently extended No. 1 RB likely will continue to cede plenty of work to Kyle Monangai (56% snaps vs. 44%), but that might not really matter if Ben Johnson's group functions as a top-3 scoring offense. Swift has posted 13-30-0, 19-79-0, 17-53-0 and 21-90-0 rushing performances in four matchups against the Vikings since signing with the Bears in 2024.NegativeInjurySep 15, 2026

The source lists D'Andre Swift's stock as up (slightly) following Week 1.NegativeRoleSep 14, 2026
D'Andre Swift played 56% of snaps with just a 23% route share, taking 19 of 31 RB opportunities (61%) while mostly alternating drives with Kyle Monangai. The roles were ultimately similar to last year, only with even more production to go around; this wasn't a case of Swift's usage expanding relative to 2025. He took 61% of snaps on first down, 56% on second down, and 47% on third down, with no clear division of role based on down. Swift got all three goal-line carries and the lone non-goal-line short-yardage carry (3rd-and-1 conversion), suggesting his touch share in high-leverage spots will be higher than overall touch share.NegativeProjectionSep 14, 2026
D'Andre Swift rushed for 124 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1. The source identifies this as a sell-high opportunity, noting Swift will be a quality back all season but this performance is an outlier to capitalize on by trading for a bigger name.PositiveProjectionSep 8, 2026
D'Andre Swift is the top-ranked running back in Week 1 fantasy football rankings and tiers, positioned as a must-start option regardless of circumstances.PositiveRoleSep 8, 2026
With Kyle Monangai sidelined by a knee injury, Swift is positioned to get a big role in the Bears backfield in the early going. Additionally, Swift faces the Panthers, the No. 1 most zone-heavy defense in 2025, which historically allows running backs to eat into wide receiver target share; the source is a big fan of the under on Swift's reception props at anything less than four.PositiveRoleSep 8, 2026
Ranked RB12 for Week 1 (at CAR). Locked-and-loaded as must-start RB1 as long as Kyle Monangai (knee) is banged up; Panthers ranked 27th in EPA allowed per rush last season, creating favorable matchup for volume and efficiency.NegativeInjurySep 7, 2026
Swift gave everyone a scare Thursday when leaving with an abdomen cramp, but he returned to practice on Monday, suggesting the issue is not serious.NegativeInjurySep 7, 2026

Swift gave everyone a scare Thursday when leaving with an abdomen cramp, but he returned to practice on Monday.PositiveValueSep 2, 2026
Has never finished worse than RB24 in PPR points per game since entering the league. However, snaps (56% vs. 43%) and rush attempts (52% vs. 41%) were fairly split between Swift and Kyle Monangai during the Bears' final 11 games of 2025. Despite this, Swift feels undervalued as the clear lead back of an ascending Ben Johnson-led offense that the source largely loves, especially given his early-season schedule against the Panthers, Vikings, Eagles and Jets.PositiveValueAug 27, 2026

The source highlights D'Andre Swift as a Round 5 value, noting he has never finished outside the position's top-24 in PPR points per game during his career.PositiveValueAug 10, 2026
Swift has a Sleeper ADP of 65.1, which is +16.5 picks higher than high-stakes ADP of 48.6. The source identifies him as part of a favorite value pocket, noting that Swift and David Montgomery can confidently be started in September, unlike some other RBs in their ADP range. There is some question about how much work Woody Marks and Kyle Monangai steal, but there is no doubt about who will be the starter and lead runner in the backfield.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
D'Andre Swift is positioned as a Round 5 target from early draft positions (1.01-1.04) for drafters who have already secured an elite TE and two great receivers; the source suggests he represents good value at this stage.PositiveValueAug 5, 2026
D'Andre Swift would be a dream RB2 if he were to fall to the fifth round (picks 55-57), though most of the time he doesn't, suggesting he typically goes earlier.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026
Round 4 running back option (picks 46-48); the source identifies Swift as one of the most conventional RB options in this range, particularly if you have the 46th or 47th pick and need to secure your preferred running back target rather than assume they'll make it to round 5.NegativeValueJul 30, 2026
Presented as a reliable, boring alternative to high-risk players like TreVeyon Henderson; has produced over 1,200 yards from scrimmage in each of the last three seasons. The source recommends Swift as a safer third-round pick in guillotine leagues where consistent early production is essential for survival.
