Should You Start or Sit D’Andre Swift in Week 13?
We’ve seen the number of touchdown vultures decline with time, so managers with D’Andre Swift have to feel like they ran into some awful luck with Roschon Johnson routinely swooping in to end drives (he’s converted all six of his carries from the one-yard line this season).
You couldn’t have seen this coming, so there’s nothing to worry about from a process standpoint, and I still think you’re OK starting Swift weekly, albeit with a capped ceiling due to the limited scoring equity.
With Caleb Williams running for his life last week, he lobbed a 30-yard dime to Swift, a completion that was special, but his attempting the pass is what I like. No, situations like that aren’t always going to present themselves, but Williams’ faith in his lead back is great to see.
Swift has produced viable fantasy numbers in seven of his past eight games, thanks in large part to the volume that I think you can count on (16+ touches in eight straight). The Lions own the second-best red-zone defense through 12 weeks — Swift’s path to a top-10 finish isn’t clear, but he’s a fine bet to give you RB2 production, and that’s good enough.
