Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Emeka Egbuka

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has struggled to produce any consistent numbers over the last month of the season. Egbuka has finished with 42 receiving yards or fewer in four straight games. His target share has been there, with eight targets or more in seven consecutive contests. Unfortunately, Egbuka and quarterback Baker Mayfield aren't on the same page right now. Egbuka's fantasy value could drop even more going forward with veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) trending in the right direction to return in Week 15. Egbuka figures to lose targets to Evans and Chris Godwin Jr. to close out what has been a strong first NFL season. The rookie wideout has enough big-play potential to warrant a look for the Thursday night matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons, but fantasy managers might want to temper their expectations for him as a WR3/flex.
