The Chicago Bears will visit the Detroit Lions in Week 2. 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.

Should You Start or Sit D’Andre Swift in Week 2?
D’Andre Swift was about as involved as we could have asked for on Monday night (20 touches) and I expect that to be sustained as Ben Johnson works his magic to build an efficient offense.
My worry is that none of those touches gained more than 13 yards and that we could well see that be a consistent issue as well.
Johnson’s quick strike attack is mathematically sound, but it’s logistically elite when paired with the talent on Detroit. Keep the system and change the pieces and the results are going to change, right?
The Houston Rockets have based their offense around what worked for the peak Golden State Warriors, and while they have their moments, they don’t have Stephen Curry, so their ceiling just isn’t the same.
The lead back in an offense that I think clears 20 points this week has a low-end RB2 floor in my ranks, and that is where I’ve penciled in Swift (along with Alvin Kamara and Javonte Williams as a point of reference). The Lions were gashed by the Packers last week, but they did cough up just 0.58 yards per carry before first contact to Josh Jacobs, and if they can do that to Swift, his final stat line could be underwhelming despite the safe volume.
