The Chicago Bears will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. 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.

Swift is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Swift in Week 13?
D’Andre Swift (hip) wasn’t on Chicago’s final injury report heading into Week 12 and I almost wish that wasn’t the case.
Not that I’m rooting for an injury, I’d never do that, but if there was a lingering injury to consider, we could explain away the concerning backfield splits that came to pass against the Steelers.
Week 12 RB Data
- Kyle Monangai: 55.7% snap share, 12 touches (four in the red zone)
- Swift: 42.6% snap share, 9 touches (one in the red zone)
Well this isn’t good.
Ben Johnson moved on from Swift when he was in Detroit and it is looking more and more like he wants to do the same in Chicago. Swift has earned no more than two targets in four of his past five games, so if the rushing equity is working away from him, there’s not much to like in this profile.
It was only one week and this Eagles defense can create the desire to get tricky, something that the veteran is theoretically better equipped to handle than a seventh round rookie. I have Swift ranked four spots higher than Monangai entering Week 13’s Black Friday matchup, understanding that the hierarchy of this backfield could flip before their huge game in Lambeau next weekend.
