Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or D'Andre Swift

Sunday, November 17, 5:10 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones rushed for 39 yards on his 15 carries in Week 11's 23-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He added four yards receiving on his lone target. Tennessee's defense was as advertised, holding the 29-year-old to 2.6 yards per carry -- his least efficient outing of the season. Additionally, his receiving output was his lowest total of 2024. There are better days ahead for the eighth-year veteran, and they could come as soon as next weekend when he lines up against Minnesota's in-division rivals, the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Chicago let up 4.8 yards per rush attempt to their opponents heading into Week 11 -- the fifth-highest mark in the league -- and have been tough to beat through the air thus far. Jones will be a strong RB2 play for the contest.

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that running back D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice on Wednesday. Swift is now one to watch closely as the team prepares to face off against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings this Sunday in Week 12. The Bears could just be resting the 25-year-old in the first practice of the week, but we won't know until Thursday if Swift gets back onto the field. He had 14 carries for 71 yards and his fifth rushing touchdown of the year in last week's loss to the division-rival Green Bay Packers while also catching both of his targets for 13 yards. Swift's fantasy value has been held back by Roschon Johnson getting considerable work in the red zone, though. If Swift's injury is serious enough to potentially keep him from playing against Minnesota, Johnson would be a popular plug-and-play fantasy option.
