D’Andre Swift only Bear to find end zone vs. Pack

Swift_D'Andre_800_1080-1caac29072a0b3cb.jpg

D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

Player Stats

D’Andre Swift rushed nine times for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Bears’ Week 5 loss to the Packers, adding four receptions for 30 yards.

Swift was the only Bear to find the end zone in a throwaway performance where Tyson Bagent was benched for the fourth quarter. It was still a disappointing statline with Kyle Monangai (toe) on the shelf, but there just wasn’t much Swift could do with Bagent failing to threaten the Packers’ defense and the Bears’ D struggling mightily. Swift also lost a ton of passing-game work and targets to fill-in No. 2 RB Roschon Johnson. That’s a potentially disturbing development heading into Week 6 against the Falcons, with or without Monangai in the lineup. Thankfully, Caleb Williams (hamstring) should be back, shoring up Swift’s value in the RB10-14 range.

D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

D’Andre Swift (hip/knee) is not on Chicago’s final Week 5 injury report.

Despite an early-week DNP, Swift heads into the week in arguably a better position than he started it. We’re not sure how much workload he’ll handle with Kyle Monangai (foot) out, but it will certainly be a large majority of what the Bears do. Roschon Johnson figures to handle whatever Swift can’t, but isn’t a priority free agency pickup so much as a stash at this point.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the “belief is that D’Andre Swift (hip/knee) should be able to go” in Week 5 against the Packers.

We will get a better sense of Swift’s availability soon when the Bears release their final injury report of the week. After being a DNP in Wednesday’s practice, Swift was able to log a limited session on Thursday, which is a good sign for his availability with one practice left to go. Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe), who has yet to practice this week, could be at risk of missing Week 5, which could lead to a busy day for Swift, while Roschon Johnson would serve as the Bears’ RB2.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

D’Andre Swift (hip/knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

It’s an upgrade from Wednesday’s DNP. Swift has been a constant presence on the midweek injury reports, but hasn’t seemed at any real risk of missing a game yet. We’d imagine he’s more likely than not to avoid a questionable tag again on Friday.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

D’Andre Swift (hip/knee) did not practice on Wednesday.

Swift nursed this knee injury last week, but was active on game day, as usual. Bears RB2 Kyle Monangai took on 30 carries, functioning as the team’s offensive centerpiece after Swift lost a fumble in the second half. Perhaps Swift’s hip injury, which he apparently picked up in-game, contributed to Monangai’s increased involvement. Monangai injured his right thumb and suffered a toe injury, though he is expected to play in Week 5 against the Packers. Swift’s participation level is worth watching closely this week.
Kyle Monangai

CHI Running Back #25

Bears coach Ben Johnson said Kyle Monangai’s thumb injury is “not an issue.”

Johnson did add, “He had 30 carries, and he feels like he had 30 carries.” Monangai will play in Week 5 versus the Packers, but it doesn’t sound like he will double up D’Andre Swift in carries for the second week in a row. Expect a more even split of the work this week, with Swift potentially returning to his normal lead-back role. Even with fewer carries, Monangai is locked in as a fantasy RB3.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

D’Andre Swift had 15 rushes for 58 yards in the Bears’ Week 4 win against the Jets, adding two catches for 16 yards.

Swift was playing his usual lead back role in the run-first Chicago offense when he lost a fumble in the second half and did not return to action, ceding the backfield to Kyle Monangai, who ended the game with 30 rushes for 146 yards. Swift, who has been struggling with a knee injury, was stuffed twice at the goal line in the first half. It was looking like a big day against a gettable New York run defense. If Swift misses time, Monangai would be a must-play option in all formats. The Bears take on the Packers in Week 5.
Kyle Monangai

CHI Running Back #25

Kyle Monangai had 30 rushes for 146 yards in the Bears’ Week 4 win against the Jets, adding one catch for four yards.

Monangai played his usual role behind D’Andre Swift until Swift lost a fumble in the second half. Monangai then took over the Chicago backfield and gouged New York’s front seven time and again. The Bears, with Tyson Bagent under center, were massively run heavy, logging 49 rushing attempts on the day to 34 pass attempts. While we’re not sure if Swift was benched for the fumble or if he was struggling through his lingering knee issue, Monangai’s Week 4 performance could net him more opportunity in Week 5 and beyond. Swift’s practice status should be closely monitored throughout the week.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

D’Andre Swift (knee) is not on the injury report for Week 4 against the Jets.

Swift sat out on Thursday with a knee issue, but he resumed practicing on Friday. Fantasy managers should expect him to handle his normal, featured role. The Bears’ starting running back has totaled at least 19 carries and targets combined in each game this season. He is a bankable, high-end RB2.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said he is optimistic that D’Andre Swift (knee) will play in Week 4 against the Jets.

Swift popped up as a DNP on Thursday’s injury report, but Johnson said his RB1 will practice on Friday. We’ll see where things go from here, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Swift drew a questionable designation entering the weekend. Swift has rushed 54 times for 253 yards and three touchdowns this season while also catching eight passes for 68 scoreless yards. If he is unable to play in Week 4, Kyle Monangai would be firmly on the fantasy radar as a strong RB2.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

D’Andre Swift (knee) did not practice on Thursday.

Swift was added to the injury report on Thursday in a stunning mid-week downgrade straight to DNP. The 27-year-old running back has been listed with the knee ailment earlier in the year; it’s possible this is just a rest day. If he were sidelined, Kyle Monangai would get a huge boost and be a plausible RB2 against the Jets. This will be one we’ll have eyes on Friday.

Panthers coach Dave Canales said Jalen Coker (quad) is “on track” to play in Carolina’s Week 6 game against the Eagles.

Coker was spotted practicing on Tuesday (there will be no injury report for this one) and seems like he’s well on track to return. He’ll be a fringe WR2/WR3 against the Eagles in Week 6.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jauan Jennings “would be a name for me to keep an eye on” for the 49ers.

Jennings has been a major disappointment in Minnesota, falling behind Tai Felton on the depth chart. A small stakes trade could make sense for the 49ers, who are down to hoping Brandin Cooks can provide for Brock Purdy in a major rash of injuries.

Eagles DC Vic Fangio said it would take “something miraculous” for DE Jalyx Hunt (ankle) to play in Week 6.

The Eagles defense is one of the better units in the NFL, but it has been quite banged up of late and losing Hunt here is not ideal. We’ll see if they can blot out Bryce Young’s strong start with the Panthers in Week 6.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Tre’ Harris (hamstring) is “more of a week-to-week [thing].”

Harris will probably have a real chance to play in Week 8, after the Chargers’ Week 7 bye. He thudded to a 16-yard outing in his big chance last week with Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey out and doesn’t necessarily need to be rostered if you’re in a bye week crunch.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Quentin Johnston (chest) will “probably be limited this week like last for the practice.”

“We’ll see where he’s at the end of the week,” Harbaugh added. Johnston practiced on both Thursday and Friday so he likely has the best chance of being active among Los Angeles’ main three wideouts. Unfortunately this passing game is in rough shape, and even a higher volume, healthy load probably wouldn’t get Johnston above the FLEX line.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said it’s “possible” that Ladd McConkey (foot) is “working back in this week.”

McConkey was active last week but an emergency-only player and played zero snaps. With the Chargers having a Week 7 bye, we’d be surprised if they pushed McConkey to play unless they really needed him. Unfortunately, since he was already active last week, we know that they may really need him. His status is up in the air ahead of Week 6.
