D'Andre Swift Posts Massive Three-Touchdown Game

Sunday, September 13, 4:49 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift could not have started the season any better. The 27-year-old is earning every bit of that new extension by the looks of his performance during Sunday's season opener versus the Carolina Panthers. Swift carried the ball 18 times for 124 rushing yards and three touchdowns. He also hauled in his lone target for 10 yards in the blowout road victory. Swift averaged nearly 7 yards per carry during Sunday's game. Somebody changed the settings to easy mode in Madden before kickoff, as Swift had absolutely no problems running through the Panthers defense. He'll look to continue his success against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect another three-touchdown game, but anyone who puts Swift on the bench after that game looks as bad as the Panthers defense.

Carnell Tate News

Carnell Tate is Underwhelming in NFL Debut

Sunday, September 13, 6:54 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate made his NFL debut against the New York Jets on Sunday. There was plenty of hype surrounding this debut after Tate was selected fourth overall during this year's draft. Tate didn't give fantasy managers a ton to be happy about on Sunday. The rookie wideout hauled in four of his six targets for 38 yards in the loss. The good news is that Tate finished tied for the team lead in receiving yards and targets with Wan'Dale Robinson. The entire Titans offense struggled to move the ball, and that could be a season-long theme. The hope is that things will get better for Tate once he builds more chemistry with quarterback Cam Ward. Fantasy managers should consider Tate a low-end WR3 for the Week 2 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
