• Bears' D'Andre Swift: Listed as DNP on Thursday

  11H ago • By RotoWire

  Swift (going) didn't take part in Thursday's walkthrough. Swift dealt with a quadriceps injury last week but still suited up this past Sunday at San Francisco. He didn't find much success, though, turning 15 touches into 40 yards from scrimmage on a 79 percent snap share. He's now tending to a new health concern, while fellow RB Roschon Johnson (concussion), who was inactive Week 14, also sat out Thursday, and Travis Homer (head) was listed as full. As a result, the Bears backfield will be monitored closely to see who among the trio may be available Monday in Minnesota.

• Bears' D'Andre Swift: Struggles continue in blowout loss

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Swift (quadriceps) took 14 carries for 38 yards and caught one of two targets for two receiving yards in Sunday's 38-13 loss to San Francisco. Swift dealt with a quadriceps injury during the practice week before ultimately being cleared for action Sunday. The 25-year-old dominated the backfield touches, but his 15 combined touches resulted in just 40 total yards. Swift has averaged well under four yards per carry in five of his last six contests with only one trip to the end zone over that span. Things won't get any easier for the Bears' offense as they prepare for a road tilt against Minnesota next Monday.

• Bears' D'Andre Swift: In line to play Sunday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Swift (quadriceps), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Swift entered the weekend deemed with a designation after logging just one limited practice this week. He looks like he'll be able to take the field Sunday, taking aim at a San Francisco defense that gave up 220 rushing yards -- albeit in a snowstorm -- against Buffalo last week. If Swift is indeed cleared to play prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll be looking to break out of a two-game slump during which he's totaled a meager 69 rushing yards on 24 carries without a score. The veteran running back has been fine as a receiver in that span, however, tallying 70 yards on five catches.

• Bears' D'Andre Swift: Officially questionable for Week 14

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Swift (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Swift and WR DJ Moore (quadriceps) both are listed as questionable for Sunday's road matchup. After Swift missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, it's encouraging to see him listed as at least a limited participant Friday, but his status may not be made official until roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Roschon Johnson (concussion) already ruled out for Week 14, Travis Homer and practice-squad member Darrynton Evans will be in line to lead Chicago's backfield if Swift can't go.

• Bears' D'Andre Swift: Sleeper RBs

  7D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Swift has struggled in the past two games against Minnesota and Detroit, scoring 9.5 PPR points or less in each outing. Those are two of the best run defenses in the NFL, and Swift had scored at least 14.2 PPR points in six of his previous seven games prior to facing the Vikings and Lions. This week, Swift is facing a 49ers defense that is No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Six running backs in the past four games have scored at least 13.7 PPR points, and the backfields from Tampa Bay, Seattle, Green Bay, and Buffalo combined for 110 carries for 517 yards and seven touchdowns, and 17 catches for 101 yards and a touchdown over that span. Swift should be considered a No. 2 running back in all leagues.
