Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Bijan Robinson

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) enters Week 7 listed as questionable, but he has expressed confidence that he'll suit up against the Saints. Swift is coming off a massive Week 6 performance, racking up 175 total yards and a touchdown on just 16 touches against a solid Commanders run defense. He handled 60% of the snaps, while rookie Kyle Monangai logged 31%, confirming Swift's hold on the lead role in Chicago's backfield. Facing a Saints defense that ranks 12th against running backs, Swift's volume will be crucial in this one. With the Bears favored for the second time this season and a run-heavy game script likely, Swift projects as a strong high-end RB2, assuming he's good to go against the Saints.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ran wild on the Bills last week, racking up 238 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. He's now gone over 100 scrimmage yards in each of the team's first five contests while averaging a league-best 5.8 yards per rush (minimum 50 attempts) and almost five receptions per game. Week 7's matchup on Sunday night against the 49ers brings a matchup against a defense that's yielded the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, and will again be without Nick Bosa (knee) and Fred Warner (ankle). Game script hasn't mattered in relation to Robinson's fantasy production, as the 23-year-old will be involved whether the team goes run or pass-heavy. With just a 2.5 point spread, this one figures to be close, which should keep all of the Falcons' key offensive pieces involved, and former first-round draft pick will again be a high-end RB1 on Sunday night.
