Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Brian Robinson Jr.

Wednesday, November 5, 6:12 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin), who was limited in practice on Wednesday, said he plans to play on Sunday in Week 10 versus the visiting New York Giants, according to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times. Swift missed the wild win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9 due to a chronic groin injury. In his absence, rookie Kyle Monangai impressed, taking 26 carries for 176 yards. Head coach Ben Johnson said the Bears were protecting Swift from himself by letting him rest a groin injury that he's been dealing with for the past month. Monangai was also limited in Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, while Roschon Johnson was limited in his return from a back injury. Swift's RB1 job in Chicago shouldn't be in jeopardy, but if he does return this weekend against New York, he could cede a few more backfield touches to Monangai.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. found his way into the end zone early in the fourth quarter of the team's 34-24 win over the New York Giants in Week 9. Robinson was only on the field for nine offensive snaps, but it was easily his most productive game as a 49er. Robinson registered five carries for a season high 53 rushing yards and his score, and also had a 41-yard kickoff return. With Christian McCaffrey carrying the 49ers offense, opportunities for Robinson have been few and far between. Still, Robinson remains a valuable handcuff worth stashing as he would step into a bellcow role if McCaffrey ever does go down. The 49ers next face the Rams, who are allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs. Given his team role and the difficult matchup, fantasy managers adding Robinson via waivers are better off keeping him on the bench in Week 10.
