The Chicago Bears will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB D’Andre Swift.
Is D’Andre Swift Playing in Week 12?
Swift is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bears’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Swift in Week 12?
I’m of the belief that you can largely tell what the team views as their strengths with what they show you early.
Week 10 First Quarter Snap Shares
- Swift: 52.6%
- Monangai: 47.4%
Week 11 First Quarter Snap Shares
- Swift: 63.6%
- Monangai: 18.2%
This, to me, looks like a running back coming back from an injury and working toward full strength. Swift has 19+ carries or multiple receptions every time he’s been on the field this season, a role that locks him into my top 20 weekly.
Would I like for this offense to be more consistent? Of course I would, but with volume like that, the baseline is high enough at this point in the season to feel good about him being locked into your weekly lineup.
The schedule is brutal for the Bears coming home, but there is a trip to San Francisco in Week 17 if you can survive up until that point. Their success should keep Swift’s 15+ touch role safe for the remainder of the season.
Upcoming Schedule
- Week 13 at Eagles
- Week 14 at Packers
- Week 15 vs. Browns
- Week 16 vs. Packers
