The Chicago Bears offense is one that the world is optimistic about, and yet, their clear RB1 can still be had at a very reasonable cost. Maybe it’s because he’s not the “shiny new toy” that others in this offense are, but D’Andre Swift has been among the easiest clicks for me to make this summer and his price really hasn’t changed in a meaningful way throughout the process.
Should I Draft D’Andre Swift in Fantasy Football?
Many are calling it the summer of Swift, but few are applying it to our fantasy world. Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t we move mountains to acquire versatile backs wit ha featured role, a creative offensive mind at the controls, and environmental upside?
Swift set career highs last season in both rushing yards and rushing scores as a primary piece of an offense that Ben Johnson is sculpting around what makes Caleb Williams comfortable. And you know what allows a young quarterback to settle in? A stable run game.

Swift saw his YPC jump from 3.8 in his first season with the Bears to 4.9 and I don’t think that coinciding with Johnson’s arrival was a coincidence. Luther Burden and Colston Loveland are getting the pixie dust bump … I don’t have a problem with that, but I don’t see why Swift isn’t experiencing a similar bump.

Kyle Monangai is a real running back and I suspect he is the cause for pause when it comes to Swift’s ADP. He can be effective when given the opportunity and he’ll have work carved into the scripts for him, but I’m not sure how much role upside he has without Swift struggling and I clearly am not betting on that.
Investing on the Bears is a good idea and this is my favorite way to do it.
