RB D’Andre Swift, CHI (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
As a foundation type NFL runne? Maybe but I'm not ready to go that far.
As a fantasy player he scored under his average this past week, PPR of course, and for fantasy broke out a long time ago.

Don't think you would land the younger receivers because.... its the Lions. Not a slam... Just think there is some truth to it.
I just traded him straight up for A.J. Brown in redraft. I still have Dalvin, Chubb, Elijah and Cordarrelle at RB, and this is a league where I have lost both Ridley and Woods so I had to do something.

i offered that last week and surprisingly, it was turned down. now i think the guy would take it.

Probably so after Brown’s dud this past week haha. But better days are ahead for him no doubt, likely starting this week with the lowly Texans.

TBH he had a ####ty game. Dropped a couple pass and blew a blitz pickup. He ran well of course, but the 3rd & 4th string RBs went 5-97-2 (28 & 42 TD runs.)

Back to back weeks with a new career high in rushing yards.
14-136-1 & 3-0-0
The offense was out of sync and struggling for momentum all day. Zero trips to the red zone. Swift housed a one cut and go sweep from 57 yards, looked absolutely explosive on his TD. The O line is blocking really well but no denying D’Andre is one of the best all around backs in the league rn.
_______________
Update on pace after 10 G:
323 touches (5th amongst RBs)
232.9 attempts (12th)
943.5 yards (15th)
NOTE: finally has a semi-decent YPC (4.05)
6.8 TDs (16th)
1657.5 YFS (5th)
10.2 TDs (12th)
113.9 targets (1st)
90.1 receptions (1st)
714.0 receiving yards (2nd)
3.4 receiving TDs (6th)
weekly: RB4-RB20-RB5-RB36-RB10-RB16-RB1-RB31-bye-RB16-RB3
overall RB5 in PPR (Taylor, Ekeler, Henry, Harris)

That 90 receptions pace looks sweet.BobbyLayne said:

Obviously Jonathon Taylor is THE massive breakout star of the year - true league winner rn.
Swift is maybe the next biggest 2nd year breakout players? Justin Jefferson seems even better than his insanely efficient rookie year.
Most people took the Colts stud late first / early second as their RB1; JJ was around WR7-8ish. Many took Swift in the 4th as their RB2 (I took Najee in the 2nd.) It’s great when your studs perform like they’re projected to, but even more satisfying when you go for polarizing player people are down on.
Seemed like every week there was a new excuse. Injury prone, in a timeshare, dumpster fire offense, et al. Hopefully keeps it rolling and finishes strong but definitely exceeding expectations so far.

good news, I was afraid broken clavicle.
dislocated shoulder? sheet we know Bulldog RBs who gained 150 yards in a Sugar Bowl after popping a shoulder out on the second play of the game.
not saying D’Andre = Herschel but I think he’ll just keep on trucking, but we shall see.

Campbell said it’s the same shoulder he hurt in Pittsburgh

Played the next week after that, correct? And quite well IIRC
Though, reinjury and not yet knowing severity change things.
Thankfully an extra few days to see.

My guess is that he’ll miss the next game at a minimum, but just speculating and hope I’m wrong.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
yeah just gonna have to see where he’s at on Tuesday
obvs from a FF perspective I want him to play (own him everywhere) but from a fan perspective I want to see the least likely outcome - let Jefferson and Igwebuike share the load
ain’t nothing to be gained rolling with Jamaal up-the-middle
the 3rd/4th string guys are a combined 11-135-3 & 8-59 on 9 targets - let’s up that sample size & see what they can do
ZERO WINS - let’s try something new eh

He played through a lot of injuries at Georgia, so I wouldn't be surprised if he played through this, unless it proves to be a serious injury.

You probably know better as a Lions fan, but have to think that Campbell will ride Jamaal if Swift sits. Seems to love the guy even though he can’t do what Swift does.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
If D’Andre cannot go that’s a five niner (99.999%) bc Campbell been growing more and more conservative as the losses pile up
Just dreaming what I would want to see, bc in limited appearances both have been dynamic playmakers

Doesn’t sound as bad as feared, but day-to-day is pretty vague.

DC said we’ll know a lot more based on how he feels on Tuesday and Wednesday. Right now he’s very sore.
Regardless, wouldn’t mind seeing Godwin Igwebuike be more involved last 6 games. Anytime a guy starts out averaging 12.1 yards on his first 10 touches - AND you’re winless - maybe give him an opportunity, eh.

There’s a great chance of this happening I think
Ive held Williams all year in a league where if anything could go wrong for me this year , it did
I’ll be starting Williams if Swift doesn’t play, and id be surprised if it works out

Anyone else trying to acquire swift for the playoff weeks from an owner that needs wins right now?
Maybe an offer of Mattison for Swift?

I'd be careful about paying too much for Swift. Even if he comes back in a week or so, they may take it easy on him with nothing left to play for this season but pride.

From what I've seen in the past I don't worry about usage if they are active. It has bitten me twice in the playoffs with A J Green (Bengals) years ago, but for the most part with stud RBs, if they are active they generally have a big enough role regardless of the team record.

Fair point, but every situation is different. I can see Swift being used but perhaps less than we would like and saw the past several weeks pre-injury.

Lions RB snaps after Swift went down on Thanksgiving
Jamaal Williams – 74%
Jermar Jefferson – 16%
Godwin Igwebuike – 13%
Think he got all but 2 touches
DC said in his daily presser today they would lean heavily on Jamaal is Swift can’t go

Between Jefferson and igwebuike, who do you think might be worth a speculative add? Both have looked quick IMHO in limited work…

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that D'Andre Swift (shoulder) could miss multiple weeks.
Swift is dealing with an injury to his AC joint, and the Lions will reportedly exercise caution with their young star running back. Given that the highlight of the Lions season was a tie with the Mason Rudolph-led Steelers, they have zero incentive to rush Swift back from injury. As frustrating as it is for fantasy managers on the playoff bubble, the Lions would be smart to give Swift all the time he needs to get healthy. Swift looks highly doubtful against the Vikings and his status for Week 14 against the Broncos is very much up in the air. It's possible that Swift doesn't return until Week 15 against the Cardinals or Week 16 against the Falcons.

It might be best to shut him down to 2022, but I (and many of you) need him for at least weeks 15-17.
