D'Andre Swift Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin, personal) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He didn’t practice on Friday, presumably for personal reasons, and was listed as questionable. But Swift was a full-go on Thursday, so we’re not expecting the groin to be a major issue. It’s unclear exactly how work will be divvied between Swift and RB Kyle Monangai, with HC Ben Johnson suggesting Friday that he could ride the hot hand. Both guys have plenty of upside against the Giants’ 31st-ranked RB defense.

The forecast for today's Giants-Bears game calls for sustained winds around 20 mph with gusts up near 30 mph. That's enough to potentially impact play calling (i.e. more running) and passing efficiency. The game's total has dropped from 47 to 45.5. We've docked the projections on both passing games and would stay away from the kickers in this game. See the updated rankings.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin, personal) is expected to play vs. the Giants on Sunday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Swift was seemingly on track to play after putting in a full practice on Thursday. But he was sidelined on Friday and had "personal" added to his listing on the injury report. The pattern makes us believe that the groin is not a big concern heading into this one. The question now is how backfield touches will be divvied after RB Kyle Monangai's big Week 9. HC Ben Johnson said Friday that he's willing to ride the hot hand. "I believe in a guy having the hot hand," Johnson said. "One guy, if he’s feeling it and giving us a spark, we might lean on that a little bit longer." We're expecting Swift to get the start vs. the Giants -- and the first opportunity to get that hot hand. But this is a difficult backfield to project. The good news is that there should be lots of production to go around against the league's 31st-ranked RB defense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin, personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. He was a full-go in Thursday’s practice but sidelined on Friday and given a “personal” tag on the injury report. We’ll look for more info on Swift’s status for this one. We’re expecting him to lead a committee attack alongside RB Kyle Monangai if he plays. If not, Monangai would be a fantasy RB1 against a bad Giants run defense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He'll be back for this weekend's game vs. the Giants after watching rookie RB Kyle Monangai run all over the Bengals last week. It's possible that performance earned Monangai a bigger role going forward. But there should be plenty to go around for both guys on Sunday against the Giants' 31st-ranked RB defense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's an improvement over last week, when he missed all three practices before winding up inactive. We're tentatively expecting Swift back for Sunday's game vs. the Giants but will keep you updated on his status over the next few days. RB Kyle Monangai had a huge game with Swift out last week -- but it came against the Bengals. Swift still figures to have a significant role in this backfield when available.

Making his first NFL start in relief of D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai had a banner day, piling up 198 yards of offense and dominating Chicago's backfield in the Bears' 47-42 victory over the Bengals. The seventh-round rookie carried 26 times for 176 yards (6.2 yards per carry) and produced 106 yards after contact.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He's been battling this groin issue for a few weeks now. It either got worse over the last week, or the team finally decided to get him some rest. We'll see if he makes it back for Week 10. RB Roschon Johnson (back) is also out for this Sunday, leaving Kyle Monangai and Travis Homer as the healthy RB on the active roster. RB Brittain Brown is on the practice squad. Homer doesn't have a touch on offense this season, while Monangai's role has been growing in recent weeks. The rookie is a good bet to handle most of the backfield work in this matchup against Cincinnati's 32nd-ranked RB defense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. That's a downgrade from last week, when he missed Wednesday but returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see if Swift gets on the field tomorrow, ahead of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. His absence in that one would leave rookie RB Kyle Monangai in a big role. RB Roschon Johnson (back) has remained sidelined this week after missing last Sunday's game.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, but Swift played and produced well through this injury last week. He’s safe to keep in fantasy lineups as a RB2.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Swift only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, but he played well through this groin issue last week. We're expecting him to be ready for his usual role today. Swift got a bump up the RB rankings when QB Lamar Jackson was ruled out. The Bears are now only 2.5-point underdogs -- down from seven earlier in the week.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is listed as questionable to play vs. the Ravens this weekend. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Swift was in a similar boat last week and ended up playing his usual role vs. the Saints, racking up 138 yards and a score. We’re expecting Swift to be fine for the Ravens game but will get Chicago’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Roschon Johnson (back) has been ruled out, which would leave Kyle Monangai as the clear lead back if Swift were to miss this one.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He should be fine for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens, but we'll see how Swift is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this issue last week, so we're expecting him to be ready for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. But his status bears monitoring over the next few days. RB Kyle Monangai would be in for a big workload if Swift was unable to play this weekend.

Bears rookie RB Kyle Monangai excelled as the No. 2 RB against the Saints. He went 13-81-1 on the ground and 2-13-0 through the air. Starting RB D’Andre Swift went 19-124-1 on the ground and 1-14-0 through the air. With HC Ben Johnson’s history of using two backs in Detroit, Monangai could become the David Montgomery to Swift’s Jahmyr Gibbs in terms of usage (though neither is as talented as their Lions’ counterparts).

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He was added to the injury report on Thursday, limited again in Friday’s practice, and then listed as questionable. Swift said Friday that he’d play, though, and there never seemed to be much doubt about his status for this one. Swift is safe to keep in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
