D'Andre Swift News
Thursday, August 27, 6:00 AM
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has often been criticized for being a better athlete than NFL running back, but in his 2025 reunion with head coach Ben Johnson, he showed improved patience and better vision, leading to the best season of his career. Swift had the sixth-highest rushing success rate in the league on his way to an RB15 fantasy finish, and his ceiling could be even higher in year two of Johnson's Bears offense. Second-year player Kyle Monangai (knee) is dealing with a hyperextended knee, and with Chicago favored in five of its first six games, Swift has the opportunity to get off to a white-hot start in his seventh season. At RotoBaller's RB18, he is a player to target in the middle rounds of drafts who could see his value rise early in the year, presenting the opportunity to later flip him as a potential sell-high candidate.

Jadarian Price News
Thursday, August 27, 11:27 AM
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price and any starters who have not been playing in the preseason will not play in the preseason finale on Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN. Price, who was the final pick of the first round in April out of Notre Dame, could end up being Seattle's preferred backfield option in the early going in 2026 while Zach Charbonnet (knee) continues to rehab the ACL tear he suffered last postseason. The 5-foot-11, 209-pounder doesn't have elite speed out of the backfield, but that didn't stop him from showing off his explosiveness and big-play abilities for the Fighting Irish while sitting behind Jeremiyah Love, who went third overall this year to the Arizona Cardinals. We are expecting Price to be involved in some sort of timeshare with George Holani to begin his rookie season, and while there is long-term appeal, Price's redraft stock will take a hit whenever Charbonnet makes his season debut. Fantasy managers should treat Price as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex target with more short-term upside in 2026.
