D'Andre Swift Absent From Wednesday's Practice

Wednesday, October 29, 5:13 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) was listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's practice, the first of the week. Swift also missed practice last Wednesday before two straight limited practices. He ultimately played in the Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but played under half of the offensive snaps while totaling 73 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on his 13 touches. His DNP to begin the week is notable, but as long as he returns to practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be active this weekend in a very favorable matchup on Sunday on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old has been a focal point of head coach Ben Johnson's offense in 2025, making him a must-start in fantasy lineups if he's active. If for some reason Swift is limited or out in Week 9, rookie Kyle Monangai would be a plug-and-play option at RB in fantasy.

Brian Robinson Jr. Does Nothing in Loss

Tuesday, October 28, 7:42 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. posted his worst performance of the season this past weekend. Robinson has barely seen the field lately, but only played two offensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old saw nine rushing attempts in Week 7, so it's a bit odd to see Robinson basically not even touch the field. Surprisingly, Christian McCaffrey has stayed healthy this season, so Robinson's role has been limited in this offense. The expectation is that Robinson is only going to see a handful of touches at most going forward. Robinson isn't going to offer viable fantasy value while McCaffrey is healthy and thriving.
