D'Andre Swift News
Wednesday, May 6, 5:36 AM
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has finished as the RB23 or better in each of his six seasons in the league, most recently turning in a career-best RB15 finish in 2025. Entering his second season in Ben Johnson's Bears offense, RotoBaller's dynasty RB26 represents an affordable RB2 who may not always look pretty, but consistently returns value. Johnson has modeled his offense in Chicago after the one he ran so successfully in Detroit. With Swift handling the role he first held with the Lions before it was perfected by Jahmyr Gibbs, he should continue to offer a reliable floor even with 2025 seventh-rounder Kyle Monangai proving capable of handling the David Montgomery role as a rookie. Quarterback Caleb Williams and the Bears offense as a whole are expected to take another step forward in year two under Johnson, which could lead to more scoring opportunities for both backs. At 27 years old, Swift should still have plenty of good football ahead of him, making him a smart dynasty buy who could realistically help to extend the window for contending managers.

Isiah Pacheco News
Friday, May 29, 7:29 AM
Detroit Lions running back Isiah Pacheco finds himself in a new place for the 2026 season, and it could be exactly what he needs to get back on track as a fantasy-relevant running back in dynasty leagues. Pacheco spent his first four seasons with the Chiefs, finishing higher than RB37 just once. He was the RB15 in 2023, but injuries cost him 14 games over the last two years, and he wasn't particularly effective when healthy, either. The Chiefs used him as more of a primary running back, getting him involved on rushing and passing downs, while the Lions may use him as more of a short-yardage option to move the chains or get into the end zone. That could mean fewer touches and yards per carry, but more touchdowns and more of a clear-cut role. The new landing spot could vault Pacheco back into the top 36 fantasy running backs, making him a low-end RB3/flex on a weekly basis. As it stands, he is the RB55 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.
