Should You Start or Sit Swift in Week 11?
D’Andre Swift entered Week 10 listed as questionable with the groin injury that held him out of Week 9, but you wouldn’t have known it.
Week 10 vs. Giants
- 92.3% gain rate
- 65% of RB carries
- 3.4 yards per carry after contact
Kyle Monangai following Cole Kmet into the end zone from eight yards out was frustrating, but it was Swift out there to start the game, it was Swift with the edge in red zone touches for the game, and it was Swift with an 8-1 advantage in targets.
The involvement in the passing game is what most interests me given how this offense is opening up and why I think he has nothing to worry about when it comes to work.
Chicago has scored 24+ points in six of its past seven games, making this a favorable environment for all of its regulars. The schedule does the Bears no favors moving forward, and while I think that could cap his upside, 15+ touches for a versatile player at the center of a Ben Johnson offense is enough for me to lock in Swift every week in which he is healthy.
