The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB D’Andre Swift.
Is D’Andre Swift Playing in Week 15?
As has been the routine, D’Andre Swift did not practice on the first session of the week. The Bears play Monday night, so Thursday is technically their Wednesday. Swift missed practice time last week and ultimately played. He is currently dealing with a groin injury that has not yet reached the level of concern.
Swift missed Friday’s practice, too. But he returned as a limited participant on Saturday, which follows the same pattern for him in previous weeks of DNP-DNP-LP.
He is officially listed as questionable for Monday.

Should You Start or Sit D’Andre Swift in Week 15?
Swift is trending in the wrong direction with three straight finishes outside of the top 20 at the position, and I worry that doesn’t change this week with a matchup against the fifth-best run defense.
Roschon Johnson’s status (concussion) could prove to be awfully impactful here. Swift’s rushing value is moving in the wrong direction (four straight sub-15 carry games, three straight with under 40 rushing yards), and if he doesn’t have access to the work inside the 5-yard line, we’re talking about an awfully thin profile.
Pace of play often gets overlooked, but you’re a PFN follower, so that’s not the case for you. You’re aware that the Vikings operate at the fourth-slowest pace and that such a style of play carries with it possession downside.
Swift is a Flex play this week but not a must-start if you have nice receiver depth.
