D'Andre Swift News
Monday, April 13, 6:23 PM
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift enjoyed a productive 2025 season, amassing 1,087 rushing yards, 299 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns. He ranked as the overall RB15 in PPR leagues, tying his previous career-best fantasy finish. The 27-year-old's breakout campaign coincided with the arrival of head coach Ben Johnson, whose leadership helped take the Bears' offense to the next level. While we remain encouraged by the state of Chicago's backfield under Johnson going forward, it could still be a good time to sell high on Swift in dynasty leagues. Swift is heading into a contract year, and the emergence of Kyle Monangai could lead to a shift in the backfield dynamic. Monangai had 947 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns last year, suggesting he may be the running back of the future in Chicago. We saw Monangai eat into Swift's workload as the season went on, and we wouldn't be shocked if the Rutgers product takes over as the primary ball-carrier in 2026. Swift will still have a role, but managers should consider selling high this offseason while he's still priced as a mid-range RB2. They might not have that same luxury next offseason.

Brian Robinson Jr. News
Tuesday, April 14, 5:12 AM
Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson Jr. spent his 2025 season in San Francisco as the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey. While it didn't work out for Robinson's fantasy managers, NFL fans in general were fortunate to see McCaffrey play a full 17-game slate, and Robinson ended the year with career lows of 400 yards and two touchdowns on only 92 carries. He has now signed a one-year deal with Atlanta to back up another of the league's premier backs in Bijan Robinson. While the latter Robinson has not missed a start through his first three seasons in the league, his versatility has allowed for a unique opportunity to have two backs on the field at once. Twice in his career, he has lined up for more than 150 snaps at wide receiver, and his previous backup, Tyler Allgeier, averaged more than 10 touches per game across their three seasons together. The Falcons do welcome a new staff, with head coach Kevin Stefanski and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees leaving behind a Cleveland team that tended to lean heavily on one back when given the opportunity. However, neither has ever coached a player with Robinson's skillset, and they would be wise to take advantage, leading to a safe enough floor for Robinson Jr. to hold standalone value on top of being a must-roster insurance back.
