D'Andre Swift News
Saturday, June 13, 12:21 PM
Across 16 games in 2025, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift recorded 1,386 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 257 touches. Swift has been one of the NFL's more consistent backs in recent years, as he's now logged three consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played, 250 touches, and 1,260 yards from scrimmage. However, Swift's usage in Chicago declined a bit down the stretch of the 2025 season thanks to the emergence of Bears running back Kyle Monangai. From Week 11 through Week 18, neither Swift nor Monangai played more than 60% or fewer than 40% of Chicago's offensive snaps. Entering 2026, the two backs appear set to both play significant roles in the Bears' offense. With Swift entering his age-27 season and the final year of his current contract, Monangai may profile as the future of the running back position in Chicago. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling high on Swift ahead of a possible production decline in 2026.

Bucky Irving News
Thursday, June 11, 9:38 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (shoulder) was seen working out at organized team activities on Thursday. Irving is being worked back in slowly this offseason after having shoulder surgery, but he looked good on Thursday while catching passes at OTAs while doing other work as well. Although he might not be a full-go for the start of training camp at the end of next month, all signs point to the 23-year-old back being ready at some point this summer and for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September. The former fourth-rounder in 2024 out of the University of Oregon impressed with a 1,000-yard season and eight touchdowns on 207 carries while adding 47 receptions for 392 yards as a pass-catcher in 17 games as a rookie, but he played in only 10 games in 2025 due to injury and finished with 588 rushing yards and one touchdown for the Bucs. Irving's fantasy stock has fallen a bit going into his third year in the league because of durability concerns as he learns a new offense. Newcomer Kenneth Gainwell is also likely to steal valuable pass-catching reps from him. He still has clear RB2 upside if he can stay healthy, but Irving has fallen to No. 26 in RotoBaller's RB rankings for the 2026 season.
