Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Isaac Guerendo

Monday, December 15, 12:30 AM

The Chicago Bears continued to enforce their will on the ground in Sunday's 31-3 blowout win over the visiting Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and running back D'Andre Swift was a big part of that. The 26-year-old had a team-high 18 rushing attempts for 98 yards while scoring twice on the ground. Swift added only one catch on one target for a loss of two yards. Rookie Kyle Monangai continued to play a key role in Chicago's backfield next to Swift, but he averaged just 3.0 yards on his 11 carries. The Bears leaned on Swift late in the game with a big lead, as he had nine carries for 56 yards in frigid temperatures in Chicago. This was Swift's first multi-touchdown game of the year. He's been a must-start in fantasy lineups with at least 80 scrimmage yards in five of his last six games. However, it could be tough sledding for Swift in a Week 16 rematch with the division-rival Packers. He had 13 carries for 63 yards just last week in the loss to Green Bay.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was thrust into action in his rookie season in the NFL in 2024 because Christian McCaffrey missed most of the year due to injuries. Guerendo finished with 84 rushing attempts for 420 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) and also chipped in 15 catches on 16 targets as a pass-catcher for 152 yards. Fantasy managers probably viewed him as a pretty valuable handcuff for the injury-prone CMC going into 2025 drafts, but the Niners' acquisition of Brian Robinson Jr. before the season pretty much killed whatever fantasy appeal he had. Through the first seven weeks of his sophomore campaign, the 25-year-old former fourth-rounder has yet to play an offensive snap with CMC and B-Rob both staying healthy. Instead, Guerendo has been limited to a special teams role, returning five kickoffs for a combined 100 yards.
