D'Andre Swift faces Seattle in a tough spot despite being reliable and hard to sit. The Seahawks are eighth best overall against running backs for fantasy purposes and especially tough at home, where they recently shut down Kenneth Walker's revenge game. The source notes Ben Johnson will likely try to run it but doesn't love their chances, and adds that Swift will lose more opportunity share if Kyle Monangai returns; the one hope is that Swift sees more involvement in the passing game.

Swift is RB12 in fantasy points per game, averaging 19.7 touches and 89.7 total yards with a 60.4% snap rate, 47.2% of the rushing work, 38.8% route share, and 10.4% target share. Among 42 qualifying rushers, he is 19th in yards after contact per attempt and seventh in missed tackle rate. However, he faces an elite Seattle run defense that has allowed the fourth-lowest explosive run rate, second-lowest rushing success rate, and fourth-fewest yards after contact per attempt over their last five games. The source says Swift will have to lean on his volume and touchdown equity this week.

Swift was targeted on a checkdown in the 3rd quarter on 1st and 10, catching an 11-yard completion that resulted in a first down. The source uses this play to illustrate Williams' willingness to take the checkdown and work with what the defense presents rather than forcing downfield; Swift released into open space in front of the linebackers as deeper routes (Burden and Odunze on a deep scissors concept) were covered, and Williams delivered the easy completion giving Swift room to turn upfield.

Swift was utilized as a checkdown option in the Bears' offense against New England, receiving an 11-yard completion on 3rd and 10 when the Patriots kept defenders over the top with help inside on deeper routes. The source notes that Williams 'takes what the defense gives him instead of forcing the shot downfield' and that Swift 'releases into the open space in front of the linebackers' as the coverage retreats with the deeper routes. Swift finished with eleven yards and a first down, demonstrating the threat of the big play opening up easy completions underneath.

NegativeProjectionOct 28, 2026Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden
Ranked RB19 against Seattle Seahawks; this is "the worst spot for DeAndre Swift the entire year." Bears are projected for 21.75 PPR points, but Seahawks are the best rushing defense of the past two years (2023-2024)—you are not running on them. Swift has been playing through injuries and received 26 carries in recent game, but practice video showed him getting up gingerly after being hit with low pads by coaches, suggesting he is not moving freely or at full health. Kyle Manungai is expected to return from turf toe injury (week 7-8 timeline), which will further reduce Swift's workload. Extended rest between Thursday night and following Monday night is positive for injury recovery, but the matchup and health concerns are significant headwinds.

Swift took on huge workload in Week 7 (RB13 on RB10 usage, 26 total touches) after Roschon Johnson fumbled, but appears banged up on tape and practice clips. The Seahawks present an elite rushing defense—the only truly elite run defense, allowing fewest passing yards per game (158) and sixth-fewest rushing yards per game (89). They shut Kenneth Walker III down to 57 scoreless yards on SNF. The Bears enter as 3-point road underdogs with 21.75-point implied total (18th), requiring adjustments.

Swift is downgraded for Week 8 despite being a favorite in six of the past seven weeks with strong production (16.0 fantasy points per game, 628 yards, 7 TDs on 116 carries, 25 targets, 80 Utilization Score). The Bears have a three-day edge off Thursday Night Football and QB Caleb Williams is strong outside division (18-7-1 ATS, 37.3% ROI), but this is a poor travel spot: Bears are on their third road game in four weeks. The Seahawks are on their fourth game in five weeks at home with a boosted HFA (outside division, turf vs. grass), and are No. 2 in defensive rush SR (32.1%). The source states he would "legitimately might consider benching Swift in Guillotine Leagues this week."

Top 10 RB through three weeks with 86% snap share (career-high workload), but sell-high candidate once Kyle Monangai returns from injury. Swift is currently RB12 in expert consensus and RB15 in Deandre Whip's personal rankings; while he remains a must-start in a strong Bears offense with Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson, he should not be penciled into top 10 rankings every week going forward due to incoming backfield competition. Whip observed someone in the live stream successfully trade Swift for Derrick Henry and stated 'I think that would be great, and I'd absolutely love to make that pivot.' Suggested trade targets include Kalen Javante Gentry and Derrick Henry.

Start/sit decision hinges on Kyle Manungai's status. If Manungai plays, Swift drops to feels good due to the tough Seattle matchup and projected 8–10 touch reduction. If Swift is in the backfield alone, he's a strong play despite Seattle's elite run defense because the Chicago Bears offense is prolific (averaging 40 points per game with Caleb Williams) and will generate enough volume to offset matchup concerns. The source says 'he's going to get so much work... he'll get enough volume to offset any concerns there.'

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.
