My O/U: 11.5 opportunities, meaning rushes plus targets.
I am guessing over. I bet it’s 13 and possibly a couple more. He has to be healthier and ready for more.
15 sounds about right, but maybe that's wishful thinking on our part, and game flow will undoubtedly dictate.
Getting a little more bullish on Swift. Perhaps he's getting more hungry for touches and hopefully the endzone scampers.
I'd love to be offered that. Can't give him away now. Knew I should've traded him a few weeks ago
Call me crazy, but neither of those trades/offers is even close for me to deal Swift (dynasty).

That's a tough one. On one hand you have a coaching staff that obviously trusts their workhorse JW, and on the other hand you have Jerry Jones secret marriage to Zeke.It'll be Swift or Pollard
I don’t have Swift but have and must start J Williams this week. I hope not to need to start Williams moving forward since Swift is going to take over the backfield beginning this week. He has to be healthy now.
In two weeks the landscape could completely flip for Swift. Who knows?
True
I have to start both of them - pray for me.It'll be Swift or Pollard
If I had both I'd probably be going Jamaal. I have only Swift and will be starting him over essentially no other options.
I don’t think Campbell and Co. will ever give Swift a sizable workload, and as we’ve said before, who can blame him/them? Maybe with the season lost for the team they would try to see if he can hold up and thus gauge their Rb plans for next year. But I kind of doubt it.
Williams seems like a much better bet for a td based on his usage.
I have both as well. I think I am rolling with Swift for more upside but understand the floor is lower.
It's such an odd situation. When they give Swift the ball, he produces. Swift seems to be indicating that he wants to be used more. So why does Duce imply that Swift is lacking energy on the field. Doesn't it sound like they both want Swift to be involved more? What am I missing?
Hmmm... read into it how one wants, but I'm sensing Duce is calling out Swift a lil bit. He wants him to have that fire in his belly vs going through the motions. Perhaps his injury tag influenced Duce as well, Idk. Perhaps it's up to Swift to come out and play inspired football. There's no injury tag now. Healthy. Play ball! And not just make a play and trot off the field. Stay in the lineup for the entire drive. This in and out crap sucks lol!
What is the going rate for him in dynasty, considering he can’t stay healthy? Ive never been in a dynasty league, so I’m curious about his value.
I couldn't tell you the going rate, as I'm only in one league, and I own him. But on KTC, he's ranked just below Ekeler, and just above Metcalf, and approximately halfway between an early first and a mid first in 2023. If I were in rebuild mode I might sell for an early first at this point.
What makes it hard for his owners is Williams is a capable replacement and today is the type of game where Williams may be more effective running. I like Swift, just can’t stay healthy.
Agreed. I think he has the majority of touches today.
Swift's average ypc/ypr by game, regardless of sample size:
5 touches plus an uncaught target. But still. Pretty bad.
Sometimes it's like the Lions are trying to make a point at the expense of the team.
I thought exactly the same way, but after today’s usage, I won’t start Swift again until after he has a decent game with plenty of touches. It’s a 3 headed monster now with Swift being 3rd in the pecking order.
I was wrong. That isn’t anything new. I have no idea what is happening in Detroit.
