The Chicago Bears will host the Cleveland Browns in Week 15. 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 15?
Swift is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Swift in Week 15?
I’m old enough to remember when D’Andre Swift was a highly efficient back with the Lions or even in his single season with the Eagles.
That’s not the version we currently have access to.
He gained yardage on all 13 of his carries against the Packers last week and that was great to see, but for the second time in three weeks, he failed to pick up 10 yards on a single carry.
We know that he’s in a committee situation with a pounder in Kyle Monangai, something that not only limits his volume, but also his touchdown equity. He caught three passes over the weekend (two catches in total over his previous three games), but how much of that was the result of Rome Odunze being sidelined?
I do prefer him to Monangai by the slimmest of margins this week out of respect for this Browns stout run defense, but neither is a top 20 play for me.
