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

Thursday, September 18, 3:53 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) is dealing with a quad injury going into a Week 3 date with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday and has put in two limited practices so far this week, according to Phillip Thompson of the Chicago Tribune. If Swift isn't a full-go in Friday's practice, he could head into Sunday with a questionable tag. The 26-year-old has been Chicago's clear RB1 through two weeks of the 2025 season, turning 29 carries into 116 yards (4.0 yards per tote) and a touchdown while adding six catches for 18 yards through the air. If he's able to play in Week 3 against what has been a porous Cowboys defense, Swift should be considered on the RB2/3 borderline in fantasy. If he is out or limited at all against Dallas, the Bears will use more of Roschon Johnson and rookie Kyle Monangai.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had his second straight underwhelming performance for the Raiders on Monday Night Football against the Chargers. He was limited to 43 yards on 11 carries and one receiving yard on three catches. He didn't get into the end zone like he did in Week 1, leaving his fantasy managers wanting more from their early-round pick. Jeanty said after the game that he's "Just getting used to the speed honestly." When asked about Jeanty's workload, Coach Pete Carroll said, "We're just getting started. He's breaking into the NFL... He'll get more." Jeanty still has huge potential going forward, but he hasn't been able to break free for many big plays despite a few nice highlight-reel moments that flash his elusiveness and long-term upside. If you invested in Jeanty, don't bail out yet, and he could even be an interesting buy-low candidate if you think he'll be able to adjust to the speed and be effective later in the season.
