D'Andre Swift News
Tuesday, July 7, 6:00 PM
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is coming off the second 1,000-yard campaign of his career. Despite some changes of scenery, Swift has been one of the more consistent backs in the NFL in recent years. Last season, Swift rushed for 1,087 yards on 223 carries with nine touchdowns on the ground. The nine scores on the ground were a career-high for the 27-year-old back. The only downside here is the emergence of Kyle Monangai. The two backs are likely going to split up the starting reps, which could create a frustrating situation for fantasy managers. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bears go with the hot-hand method and ride whichever back looks better on that given day. It's worth mentioning that Swift is in the final year of his contract, so the Bears might be more invested in giving Monangai more carries as the possible future back. Dynasty managers who have Swift on their roster might want to consider selling high on him.

Ashton Jeanty News
Friday, June 26, 12:32 PM
The sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty entered his rookie season with plenty of fantasy hype. The 22-year-old volumed his way to a solid season, recording 1,321 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 321 touches across 17 games. However, he averaged just 3.7 yards per carry and finished as the RB16 by per-game PPR scoring. While Jeanty's lack of efficiency is a bit concerning, he was working within one of the worst offensive ecosystems in 2025. The Raiders enter 2026 with a new coaching staff, an overhauled offensive line, and hope at quarterback in the form of rookie signal-caller Fernando Mendoza. Jeanty proved as a rookie that he has a three-down skill set and can absorb a heavy workload. If the changes around him in Las Vegas lead to some more holes for him to run through, Jeanty could break out as a superstar in 2026. In any dynasty league where his value has dipped below high-end RB1 status, managers should look to buy low.
