• Bears' D'Andre Swift: May get more competition

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Swift is unlikely to be released this offseason, but the Bears may prioritize adding another running back, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. Swift is scheduled to make $8 million in 2025, with more than three-fourths of the money guaranteed. His 2024 performance was disappointing relative to the three-year, $24 million contract he signed last offseason, although it could be argued he was a victim of circumstance more so than a major part of the problem during a horrible season for Chicago's offense. The scheme should improve under new head coach Ben Johnson, but it's uncertain how much Swift will benefit if that happens, as the Bears don't lack for draft capital and cap space to pursue backfield upgrades.

• Bears' D'Andre Swift: Scores rush TD in win

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Swift rushed 20 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in either of his two targets in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. Swift finished off his Bears debut campaign in relatively productive fashion, posting a four-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter to round out a solid fantasy day. The veteran back fell just short of his second consecutive 1,000-yard season, compiling 959 rushing yards while playing all 17 regular-season games. Swift finished the season as the indisputable leader of the ground attack, and despite the fact there could be a new offensive system in place next season, he should retain the No. 1 role heading into the 2025 campaign.

• Bears' D'Andre Swift: RBs to Sit

  01/02/2025 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Swift scored 12.1 PPR points in Week 17 against Seattle, which was the first time he reached double digits in PPR since Week 11 against Green Bay. He had 14 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 13 yards on targets against the Packers, and that was the last time he scored a touchdown. Green Bay should be able to contain Swift in the rematch, and I would only use him as a flex option in the majority of leagues in Week 18.

• Bears' D'Andre Swift: Finishes with 81 total yards

  12/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Swift rushed 12 times for 53 yards and brought in four of five targets for 28 yards in the Bears' 6-3 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night. Swift outpaced Roschon Johnson by eight carries and 48 yards while also finishing second in both receiving yards and targets for the Bears on the night. The veteran back was back in double digits in rush attempts after seeing a season-long streak snapped Week 16 against the Lions, and Swift's rushing yardage total was his second highest since Week 11. Swift will need 106 rushing yards against the Packers in a Week 18 road matchup to hit the 1,000-yard mark for the second straight season.

• Bears' D'Andre Swift: Accrues 53 total yards in loss

  12/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Swift rushed nine times for 20 yards and brought in all three targets for 33 yards in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Swift unsurprisingly struggled as a runner against Detroit's tough run defense, and game script also eventually turned against the ground attack. However, the veteran back was able to at least partly make up for it with a serviceable day through the air, generating his second-highest receiving yardage total since Week 5. Swift failed to log double-digit carries for the first time this season, but he should have a good opportunity to get back to that volume in a Week 17 home matchup against the Seahawks on Thursday night.
