Swift averaged about 14.4 PPR points per game in 2025, and he's being valued as a low-end RB2. Improved offensive line play and Ben Johnson's scheme should help efficiency, but workload competition and durability concerns cap his ceiling. While Swift is likely to keep the two-minute and no-huddle running back role, he may continue to split red zone work with Monangai. He also may lose early-down work to Monangai, with the potential for this backfield to develop into more of a 1A and 1B rather than Swift as the lead back. Swift profiles best as an RB2 with spike-week potential, but his situation (in a likely top-10 Bears offense) should provide him with plenty of scoring opportunities.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Back at practice Monday
Rotowire
Swift (abdomen) returned to practice Monday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Swift left practice last Thursday with abdominal cramps, but his ability to mix into drills after a weekend off generally is a good sign ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Panthers. In addition to Swift, Kyle Monangai (knee) returned to practice Monday for the first time since hyperextending his knee Aug. 16. Swift is a locked-in fantasy RB2 to open the 2026 campaign, while Monangai makes for an ideal bench stash in Chicago's elite offense. Roschon Johnson will bring up the rear of the depth chart as the Bears' RB3.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Believed to be dealing with cramp
Rotowire
Swift (abdomen) is believed to have left Thursday's practice with "a cramp," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Swift was reportedly "in significant discomfort" when leaving Thursday's practice with an apparent abdominal issue, but the early diagnosis seems to suggest he is not dealing with a serious setback. Even still, Swift will carry an injury designation for the time being, and it could be a few days before an official update from the team is released. Both Swift and Kyle Monangai (knee) now find themselves on the injury report, and if either is limited or unavailable altogether in the opener, Roschon Johnson would stand to benefit.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Leaves practice with injury
Rotowire
Swift left Thursday's practice with an apparent injury and "appeared to be in significant discomfort," Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
The initial report did not provide further specifics, but per Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune, Swift exited the field holding his "midsection or core area." Backfield mate Kyle Monangai is already working back from a knee issue, so the top two running backs on the depth chart for the Bears will head into the weekend with an injury designation, and Roschon Johnson will be the only ball carrier on the roster without one.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Poised for big 2026
Rotowire
Coach Ben Johnson believes Swift is "primed for a big year" in 2026, Dan Wiederer of The Athletic reports.
"It's the best I've seen him this time of year," Johnson said last week. "You look back at a year ago, he was very explosive, and yet it takes a little while to gel between him and the offensive line. I think he's accelerating his vision here at this point. I think [RBs] coach [Eric] Studesville has been fantastic for him just with the reads and being able to know the intent of where we're trying to hit things. He bounces it when we're supposed to bounce it. He hits it right on spot when it's there, then he cuts it up. I think he's doing a really good job right now. We just got to get into that first week nice and healthy and ready to go. I think he's primed for a big year, though." With Kyle Monangai (knee) still considered week-to-week 12 days out from the regular season, Swift could have a huge role early in the season. Running behind one of the best run-blocking offensive lines in the league and in an offense that wants to score boatloads of points, Swift has big upside as a fantasy RB2.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Having standout camp
Rotowire
Swift has been one of the brightest stars of training camp for the Bears, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Swift broke off a 62-yard touchdown in Tuesday's practice and also trucked a defender on a run to the outside. "I'm excited for him," Caleb Williams said Tuesday. "Selfishly, he helps everybody on that field when he can go and be the special back that he is, whether it's passing or short yardage and running downhill. I'm excited for him, I think he's going to have a great year." Swift rushed for a career-high 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns on 223 carries (4.9 YPC) across 16 regular-season games last season and should head into 2026 as the clear lead back in Chicago ahead of Kyle Monangai. The scoring upside of the Chicago offense has Swift on the fantasy RB2 map.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Entering third season with Bears
Rotowire
Swift remains positioned atop Chicago's backfield alongside Kyle Monangai as training camp approaches, Mike Moraitis of SI.com reports.
Swift offers more explosiveness and pass-catching ability than Monangai, though both backs are expected to play significant roles in coach Ben Johnson's offense behind Chicago's revamped offensive line. Across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025, Swift rushed 223 times for 1,087 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns while adding 34 catches for 299 yards and another score on 48 targets. The 27-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract with the Bears.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Leading rusher on 19 attempts
Rotowire
Swift rushed 19 times for 76 yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 20-17 playoff loss to the Rams.
Swift led Chicago in both rushing attempts and yardage Sunday, but his inability to score on multiple attempts from in close in the second half proved costly in the overtime loss. The 26-year-old was curiously absent in the passing game after registering a target in all 17 of his previous appearances (including playoffs) this season. Swift had a career year under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, finishing the regular season with personal bests in rushing yards (1,087) and touchdowns (nine). The veteran starter will enter the final year of a three-year contract with the Bears in 2026, forming a formidable backfield duo with RB Kyle Monangai.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Quiet finish to regular season
Rotowire
Swift rushed 10 times for 40 yards and brought in one of two targets for eight yards in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Swift saw his rushing opportunities capped due to game script, as the Bears entered the fourth quarter trailing 16-0. The veteran back was reasonably effective when he did touch the ball, and he outpaced backfield mate Kyle Monangai by four carries and 26 rushing yards. Swift finished his second season in Chicago with a career-high 1,087 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns at 4.8 yards per carry, complementing those figures with a 34-299-1 receiving line on 48 targets across 16 games. Swift is expected to continue working in a relatively close timeshare with Monangai during the upcoming postseason, beginning with next week's home matchup against the Packers in the wild-card round.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Swift had a standout game in Week 17 at San Francisco with 21.9 PPR points, and he has now scored at least 20.8 PPR points in three of his past five games. He had 13.9 PPR points in Week 2 at Detroit, and the Lions run defense has fallen apart of late. Six running backs in the past four games against Detroit have scored at least 13.1 PPR points, with eight total touchdowns over that span. Swift is worth using as a borderline No. 1 running back in all leagues, and Kyle Monangai should be considered a high-end flex. Monangai has scored at least 12.3 PPR points in two of his past five games.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Quiet showing in OT win
Rotowire
Swift rushed the ball 13 times for 58 yards in Saturday's 22-16 overtime win over the Packers. He added two receptions on two targets for 12 yards.
Swift maintained a modest edge as the Bears' lead back, totaling 15 touches to 12 for Kyle Monangai. The former's longest gain from scrimmage went for only nine yards, though he still managed a relatively efficient performance in a tough matchup. The Bears were forced into an atypically pass-heavy offensive approach, which led to modest individual numbers in the rushing game and Swift's lowest yardage output since Week 12.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Active Saturday
Rotowire
Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday against the Packers.
Swift made an appearance on the Bears' injury report midweek due to a groin issue that limited him Wednesday and Thursday, leaving him questionable for Week 16 action. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported earlier Saturday that Swift was expected to play this weekend, which now has been confirmed. In a Week 14 loss at Green Bay, Swift earned 58 percent of the offensive snaps en route to 16 touches for 82 yards from scrimmage, while rookie RB Kyle Monangai took 14 carries for 57 yards on a 41 percent snap share. Both backs figure to be involved with first place in the NFC North on the line.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Expected to play Saturday
Rotowire
Swift (groin) is expected to play against the Packers on Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Swift drew the questionable tag for Saturday's NFC North tilt due to a groin injury that limited his practice participation during Week 16 prep. It appears the veteran running back is on track to be available, but his status may not be officially known until the Bears announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. It's not clear what Swift's workload will look like, but rookie Kyle Monangai would be in line for more offensive snaps if the former's workload is limited to reduce the risk of injury aggravation. Swift sits at 935 rushing yards through 13 regular-season games, and he has three more games to reach the 1,000-yard threshold for the second time in his six-year NFL career.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Swift had a huge game in Week 15 against Cleveland with 18 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns, and he scored 22.6 PPR points. He's now scored at least 20.8 PPR points in two of his past three games. The one game where he didn't reach that total was Week 14 at Green Bay, but he still had 13 carries for 63 yards and three catches for 19 yards on four targets. The Packers are now down two members of their front seven with Devonte Wyatt (ankle) and Micah Parsons (knee) injured, and Swift could be used more in the passing game since Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle) are out. I like Swift as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues, and I would use Kyle Monangai as a flex.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Status in question for Saturday
Rotowire
Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Packers.
Swift showed up on the Bears' Week 16 practice report Wednesday as limited due to a groin injury and maintained that activity level one day later. His status now won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Swift is inhibited or even sidelined, Kyle Monangai would be poised for a larger workload out of Chicago's backfield.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Dealing with groin injury
Rotowire
Swift was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury.
Swift was added to the Bears' Week 16 injury report midweek, which often indicates a health concern suffered on the practice field. How he's listed Thursday will provide a sense of his ability to suit up Saturday against the Packers, but Kyle Monangai is on hand in the event Swift is inhibited or sidelined.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Scores twice in blowout win
Rotowire
Swift rushed the ball 18 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns. He added one reception on one target for minus-2 yards.
Swift split carries with Kyle Monangai through the first half, but the Bears relied upon the former heavily to close out the game. He enjoyed a big second half as a result, picking up 56 yards on nine carries, highlighted by a 17-yard score late in the third quarter. Swift also punched in a score midway through the first quarter, giving him his first multi-touchdown performance of the season. He's now recorded at least 80 yards from scrimmage in five of his last six games.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Swift is worth using as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in Week 15 against the Browns, and Kyle Monangai should be considered a high-end flex. Cleveland is No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs in the past five weeks, and the backfields from the Jets, Ravens, Raiders, 49ers and Titans have combined for 127 carries for 538 yards and four touchdowns and 26 catches for 252 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets. Over that span, five running backs have scored at least 17.4 PPR points. Swift has scored at least 14.8 PPR points in six of his past nine games, including two of his past three in Chicago. And Monangai has scored a touchdown in four of his past five games.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Swift had a dominant game in Week 13 at Philadelphia with 18 carries for 125 yards and a touchdown and one catch for 13 yards on two targets. He has now scored at least 14.8 PPR points in six of his past eight games, and he is worth using as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in the majority of leagues against the Packers, who will be without defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (ankle) for the remainder of the year. Six running backs have scored at least 11.6 PPR points against Green Bay in the past five games, including a pair of teammates for the Giants in Week 11 (Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary) and the Lions in Week 13 (Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery), which bodes well for Swift and Kyle Monangai, who should be considered a sleeper. Monangai has scored a touchdown in four games in a row coming into Week 14.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: RBs to Sit
Rotowire
I would love to use Swift in this revenge game against the Eagles, but he'll be tough to trust as anything more than a flex. He had a miserable game in Week 12 against Pittsburgh with eight carries for 15 yards and one catch for 14 yards on one target, including a lost fumble. He played fewer snaps than Kyle Monangai for the first time all season, and Monangai has scored a touchdown in three games in a row, while Swift has none over that span. Philadelphia is also tough against the run, and the Eagles have allowed just one rushing and one receiving touchdown to a running back since Week 7.

Bears' D'Andre Swift: Forgettable day in win
Rotowire
Swift rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
As his final rushing line indicates, Swift was absolutely stonewalled on the ground, and to make matters worse, he also lost a fumble in Steelers territory early in the second quarter. The turnover didn't lead to any Pittsburgh points, but backfield mate Kyle Monangai notably outpaced Swift in carries by four and also scored a rushing touchdown. Whether the developments signal a changing of the guard remains to be seen, but both backs have a tough matchup against Swift's former Eagles squad on the road on Black Friday.
