D'Andre Swift News
Monday, April 13, 6:23 PM
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift enjoyed a productive 2025 season, amassing 1,087 rushing yards, 299 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns. He ranked as the overall RB15 in PPR leagues, tying his previous career-best fantasy finish. The 27-year-old's breakout campaign coincided with the arrival of head coach Ben Johnson, whose leadership helped take the Bears' offense to the next level. While we remain encouraged by the state of Chicago's backfield under Johnson going forward, it could still be a good time to sell high on Swift in dynasty leagues. Swift is heading into a contract year, and the emergence of Kyle Monangai could lead to a shift in the backfield dynamic. Monangai had 947 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns last year, suggesting he may be the running back of the future in Chicago. We saw Monangai eat into Swift's workload as the season went on, and we wouldn't be shocked if the Rutgers product takes over as the primary ball-carrier in 2026. Swift will still have a role, but managers should consider selling high this offseason while he's still priced as a mid-range RB2. They might not have that same luxury next offseason.

Jahmyr Gibbs News
Saturday, April 11, 9:12 PM
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had another spectacular season in 2025, totaling 1,223 rushing yards, 77 catches, 616 receiving yards, and 18 total touchdowns. He scored a career-high 366.9 fantasy points in PPR leagues, but despite this new personal-best mark, he actually dropped in the overall ranking from RB1 in 2024 to RB3 last year. Moving forward, Gibbs is a strong candidate to jump back up to the overall RB1 spot in 2026. The backfield dynamic looks a little different, which has the potential to help his cause. David Montgomery was traded to Houston, leaving behind 908 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns. Most -- but perhaps not all -- of that vacated volume will go to Isiah Pacheco, who signed with the Lions in free agency. Pacheco is averaging just 4.25 touchdowns per season throughout his career, though, so we wouldn't be surprised to see some of Montgomery's goal-line volume go to Gibbs. If the 24-year-old can stay healthy for a full 17-game season again, he'll certainly be in the mix to finish as the overall RB1 in 2026 and beyond. Fantasy managers are taking notice, as Gibbs ranks as the RB1 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings. That puts him ahead of Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, who has been a top-three fantasy running back in back-to-back seasons.
