Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Garrett Wilson

Thursday, October 23, 4:01 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday's session. Swift's return to practice on Thursday should put him on track to be available for this Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens and their banged-up defense. With Ben Johnson in town running Chicago's offense, Swift has been a focal point, carrying the ball 89 times for 419 yards (4.7 yards per tote) and three touchdowns while adding 16 catches for 166 yards and another score through the air. He has had at least 12 carries in all six games so far in 2025 and has had a combined 33 carries for 232 rushing yards and a touchdown in the last two games against the Saints and Commanders. The Ravens have allowed nearly 110 rushing yards per game this year, so Swift will be an absolute must-start in fantasy lineups this weekend.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) was not seen at practice on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Head coach Aaron Glenn said that Wilson was day-to-day, but the star wideout has yet to practice this week and looks headed for a second straight absence in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals after hyperextending his knee in the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos in London. At this time, fantasy managers shouldn't plan on having Wilson available for this weekend's action. If he misses a second straight game, the Jets will once again go with Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, and Arian Smith as their top three receivers, with rookie tight end Mason Taylor also being one of the top pass-game targets for either quarterback Tyrod Taylor (knee) or Justin Fields. That would not be a recipe for success as the Jets seek their first victory of 2025.
