D'Andre Swift Cleared for Week 2

Friday, September 18, 11:25 AM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (ankle/knee) is off the injury report and cleared for Sunday's game against Minnesota, according to Adam Schefter. Swift was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but neither issue will carry a game designation into Week 2. He is coming off a huge opener against Carolina, rushing 18 times for 124 yards and three touchdowns in Chicago's 59-37 win. Swift also caught his only target for 10 yards. The Bears gave him 19 touches despite plenty of production elsewhere in the backfield, and there is no longer an availability concern heading into Sunday's divisional matchup.

Jalen Coker News

Is Jalen Coker a Must-Start in Week 2 vs. Falcons?

Saturday, September 19, 3:09 PM

Carolina Panthers wideout Jalen Coker is coming off his two biggest games of his young NFL career. He has combined for 17 catches for 272 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 21 targets in those outings. The 24-year-old was the PPR WR1 in overall scoring in Week 1 with 33.8 fantasy points. Heading into Week 2, Coker will face a stout Atlanta Falcons secondary featuring A.J. Terrell, Jessie Bates III, and Xavier Watts. The Falcons surrendered 221 passing yards and one touchdown against 41 passing attempts in Week 1 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In a less-than-ideal matchup, Coker is RotoBaller's PPR WR27 this week. Coker has been a fantasy favorite in the community and is building his case as one of the league's better young receivers. He can be plugged into fantasy lineups as a viable flex option, but we should not expect him to repeat as a top-10 fantasy receiver in Week 2.
