Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Ashton Jeanty

Thursday, November 27, 7:48 AM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift had his worst game of the 2025 season in Week 12, handling just eight carries for 15 yards. Swift's role plummeted last week, as a costly fumble cut his snaps and his role against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Swift dropped from a consistent 60%+ snap player to playing under 43% of the snaps, trailing rookie running back Kyle Monangai, who played 57%. This week will be telling to see if Swift loses or returns to his normal starting role in Week 13. The Bears face the Philadelphia Eagles, who have regressed from the league's best run defense in 2024 to a middle-of-the-pack defense in 2025. However, with Monangai continuing to carve a role, Swift is more of a FLEX play in Week 13, rather than a locked-in starter.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie first-round running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is not listed on the team's Week 13 injury report, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Jeanty injured his ankle late in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns, but it was nothing serious, and he'll be ready to play for a Week 13 date with the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. The 21-year-old from Boise State didn't find much room to run on the ground in Week 12 (17 carries for 50 yards), but he salvaged his fantasy day with a season-high eight receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown through the air. Jeanty has struggled to put up numbers on the ground in his first NFL season behind a bad offensive line, and things probably won't get any easier this weekend. But the volume alone will make Jeanty a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 in fantasy football. He had 11 carries for 43 yards and three catches for one yard in the previous meeting with the Chargers back on Sept. 15.
