Team Smokin' 256 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Not asking for your advice or sits and starts. Just stating facts that we all face. Some have the luxury to wait on Swift and some don't. I have Swift and would love to play him today. The questionable tag and game time decision has me leery as I will start 3 from these 4 and I have all 4 ranked close to the same, although Connor is a bit disappointing lately lol. Swift, Gibson, Davis (CMC on bench), and Connor. Right now Swift is the odd man out, but that could change if I get the feel good news before kickoff on Swift.

Faust 5,013 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Quote Lions interim coach Darrell Bevell said he's "optimistic" about D'Andre Swift's (concussion) chances of returning this week. Swift will practice Wednesday but remains in the concussion protocol. He'll need to be cleared by Saturday to return this week. That seems likely to happen, though Swift's status can't be taken for granted. The Lions will go with a committee of Adrian Peterson and Kerryon Johnson if Swift doesn't play.

battlestar 112 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 As a guy who just acquired him a few weeks ago in dynasty, of course I'd love him for playoffs and I am a contender. But, I acquired him for the long term and hope they rest him as long as he needs to ensure his health. Plus, just as a human I really hope he is ok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faust 5,013 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Rotoworld take: Quote Adrian Peterson said D'Andre Swift hasn't had "the same energy level" since suffering a concussion. Peterson told reporters "it's been hard to watch" Swift struggle with the effects of his brain injury, which he suffered in Week 10. Lions interim coach Darrell Bevell said he's optimistic Swift can play this week against Chicago despite the rookie remaining in the league's concussion protocol. Perhaps the team will protect Swift for another week. If he's out against the Bears, Peterson will get most of the early down workload -- including goal line touches -- while Kerryon Johnson operates as the primary pass catching back.

unckeyherb 1,428 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 ugh, this reminds me of Jahvid Best. Hope he takes it easy and gets right before they trot him back out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
battlestar 112 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 So, apparently he has cleared the concussion protocol but missed practice today due to a non-COVID illness. Illness could explain the lack of energy mentioned by Peterson. Good that he cleared the protocol, still not sure I trust Detroit enough to do the right thing here but I am firmly on the side of let brain injuries heal and rest vs rushing someone back out there only to get hurt even worse. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zamboni 6,671 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Health aside, it’s bizarre that it hasn’t been disclosed how he contracted the concussion.

Jahvid Best came into the league having suffered one of the more horrific concussions ever witnessed. just bc Swift is in Honolulu blue and silver doesn’t mean that’s his career arc. Birkett followed up that tweet by saying unequivocally there is zero chance the Lions shut him down the year. Bevell wants to see him involved. obviously we want to see a full participation practice on Friday but IMO there’s no reason to think Swift won’t continue his strong second half of the season. Bears run D has been trash without Akiem Hicks, who finally practiced today (LP.) Mack has missed a couple sessions with a back but is expected to play. then again, S.O.L., curse, et al, so it’s easy to see why managers are skitterish. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust 5,013 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Quote Lions interim coach Darrell Bevell said D'Andre Swift (illness) would have a "small package of plays" if active this week. Swift was held out of Friday's practice for the second straight day. He's cleared the concussion protocol but the missed reps are going to make it hard for him to play this week. Even if active, Swift's role will likely be limited. Adrian Peterson is the favorite to lead Detroit's Week 13 backfield in touches.

My belief if Bevell is shooting us straight in a way we only wish head coaches would. I own Swift a good amount, before his concussion I had him a top 5 RB for ROS. Some places I own him I have really good options, two places in particular I don't. I think it's possible a small role for him could be 3-5 catches and a few carries and frankly that might be better then my options in some places but in general I'd avoid him if you can and if you are still alive in weeks 14-16 I think this might be a situation were a midseason few week rest for a rookie RB pays dividends. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unckeyherb 1,428 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I already punched my playoff card so I don't need his points this week. Would rather he sits, gets back to full strength and is ready for playoff week one. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
