Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or De'Von Achane

Saturday, December 6, 10:06 AM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is looking to sustain his elite productivity in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. Swift had a monster game in Week 13, totaling 138 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against the defending champion, Philadelphia Eagles. While Swift has averaged 14.4 PPR fantasy points per game this season, rookie running back Kyle Monangai has been performing like a number-one running back as well. Over the past three weeks, the split has been nearly even, with Swift playing 52% of the snaps and Monangai playing 46%. The matchup is not ideal as well, with the Packers ranking as the seventh-best run defense in the NFL this season. Swift's fantasy value will come down to game script, as he should be considered a low-end RB2 in Week 14.

According to offensive coordinator Frank Smith, the Miami Dolphins expect running back De'Von Achane (ribs) to be ready for Monday night's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The former Texas A&M Aggie picked up a rib injury in Week 14's 34-10 win over their division-rival New York Jets, posting 105 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on just eight total touches. Achane would start the week with a limited practice on Thursday. However, he is expected to be a full go for his matchup on Monday Night Football, as head coach Mike McDaniel noted that the 24-year-old could have returned to last weekend's game if it were more competitive. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Achane's status over the weekend, but he'll be an elite RB1 play in Week 15 if he's active.
