    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.

    Swift didn’t catch his lone target in a bust of a contest for the veteran tailback. He had a long gain of just six yards, and was nearly outrun by Salvon Ahmed who finished with 25 yards on the ground. Yes, that Salvon Ahmed. It’s a disappointing — but not terribly surprising — follow-up to the three touchdowns he had Monday night in Week 8, but this is what Swift has done throughout his career. He’ll be a RB2 for Week 11 against the Saints after the Bears’ enjoy their bye.

    Swift managers were sweating early as he alternated drives with Roschon Johnson. Those worries were swiftly erased as the veteran lead back played almost the entirety of the second half, scoring all three of his short yardage touchdowns after the break. The three trips to paint marked his second game with three touchdowns through the first eight weeks, now the only player in the league with multiple three-touchdown games. Swift will be a matchup-based RB2 when the Bears host the Buccaneers in Week 9.

    Swift shook off an early injury scare when he took a helmet directly to his knee to earn a season-high 26 opportunities in the absence of Kyle Monangai. This game had an entirely different feel than the previous game played without Monangai, during which Roschon Johnson was much more involved in a game the Bears held a 31-7 lead in the fourth quarter. The back-and-forth nature of Week 7 kept Swift on the field for more of the game, allowing him to return a legitimate RB1 performance on the backs of elite volume. Monangai could return as early as Week 8 considering the Bears now have 10 days until they play the Seahawks on Monday Night Football, potentially sending Swift back into the RB2 range in fantasy circles.

    Monangai will miss his third game in a row this week. Exactly two weeks ago, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Monangai’s turf toe injury would be an issue for 1-2 weeks. Technically, his statement remains accurate. This week’s Thursday Night Football game complicates things. If the Bears thought Monangai would miss four games, they likely would have put him on injured reserve, so he should, theoretically, be able to play in Week 8 against the Seahawks. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, and for those wondering, the Bears go on bye in Week 10. D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson have been splitting touches with Monangai sidelined. We do not yet know if Johnson will be punished for last week’s fumble though.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Swift again dominated backfield touches for Chicago with Kyle Monangai sidelined with injuries to his toe and hand. Roschon Johnson had 13 carries, with most of those coming after the Bears had raced out to a big lead (before that lead dwindled in the fourth quarter). Both of Swift’s touchdowns came inside the ten yard line. Swift should be locked in for at least 15 touches in Week 7 against the Patriots if Monangai remains sidelined. His involvement in the pass game provides a nice weekly PPR floor.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Bears coach Ben Johnson said Monangai is “trending in the right direction,” but remains week-to-week. D’Andre Swift should handle a sizable workload with Monangai sidelined. Roschon Johnson may be able to catch a few passes, but he makes for a shaky FLEX bet. Monangai should be stashed safely on fantasy football benches.

    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.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    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.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    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.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    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.

    Deommodore Lenoir (foot) did not practice Wednesday.

    Lenoir and Renardo Green (back) were among the two 49ers cornerbacks not practicing on Wednesday. Fellow cornerback Upton Stout (shoulder/neck) was a limited participant. With the slew of secondary injuries, the Cowboys wideouts will have an easier chance at chunk gains against San Francisco for week 10.

    Leonard Williams (stinger) did not practice Wednesday.

    Williams missed last week due to a stinger and continues to be sidelined. He will need to practice in some fashion to have a chance at playing in Week 10 against the Raiders.

    Rashid Shaheed (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

    Shaheed has missed the last two weeks with a knee injury, but he was able to practice in full to open Week 10. A full practice participation is a good sign we’ll see Shaheed on the field for Week 10 against the Raiders. He has been splitting WR2 opportunities with Cooper Kupp this year and belongs on fantasy benches until further notice.

    Charles Cross (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

    Cross remains sidelined with a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 7. He is yet to return to practice and therefore is trending towards missing Week 10 against the Raiders; a full practice participation would be needed to feel confident about his chances of playing this week.

    Travon Walker (rib) did not practice Wednesday.

    Walker suffered a rib injury in practice last week but played through it in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens. He starts out the week not practicing, but this may just be maintenance instead of an aggravation. Walker will need to practice in some fashion later this week, but he is not in jeopardy of missing Week 10 against the Titans just yet.

    Chris Rodriguez (hand) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Rodriguez was limited last week and played through the hand injury in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens. He was limited again to open Week 10 but is still trending to play against the Titans. With Bhayshul Tuten still dealing with ankle and foot injuries, Rodriguez is a good bet to split touches this week and achieve FLEX value against a weak Titans defense.

    Jakobi Meyers (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

    Meyers was listed with hamstring and ankle injuries last week, but played through them in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens. It is discouraging that he did not practice after a mini-bye, but the good news is that he only has the ankle designation now, no hamstring. Meyers is not yet in jeopardy of missing Week 10, but will need to practice in some fashion for fantasy managers to feel confident about his chances of playing against the Titans.

    Bhayshul Tuten (ankle/foot) did not practice Wednesday.

    Tuten was listed as DNP with the same ankle/foot injuries he played through last Thursday. He was clearly limited in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Ravens and it is a bit discouraging that he starts out Week 10 not practicing after a mini-bye. It’s still early in the week, so this may just be injury maintenance for the 23-year-old. A practice later in the week will ease fantasy managers’ concerns, but a split in touches with Chris Rodriguez is certainly on the table again for Week 10 against the Titans.

    Hjalte Froholdt (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

    Froholdt is the Cardinals’ starting center and is trending to miss Week 10 against the Rams as he deals with a concussion. Backup interior offensive lineman Jon Gaines (ankle) also missed practice, leaving the Cardinals’ offensive line depleted with a matchup against Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald coming up this week.

    Dion Dawkins (rib) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Dawkins did not practice last week due to a rib injury, missing the Bills’ Week 9 win over the Vikings. he returns to practice in a limited fashion to open Week 10, giving him a chance to return against the Jets.
