Should You Start or Sit D’Andre Swift in Week 18?
Swift has the lead role in this backfield without much competition, but because of the game scripts, he’s reached 15 carries just once in his past seven games. There is no denying that we are in danger of seeing that risk extend through this week with the Packers playing for seeding and the Bears playing for — well, nothing.
Swift had three top-10 finishes in succession earlier this season (Week 4-6), and I’m cautiously optimistic that we can see more spikes in 2025 as Caleb Williams continues to grow.
In Week 11, Swift posted 84 yards against the Packers. He added a rushing touchdown, and that allowed him to post a nice showing — remove the touchdown points and you’re right around 10 PPR points, something that I think makes for a better projection than the 16.4 he put on the board in the first meeting.
