D'Andre Swift News
Saturday, June 13, 12:21 PM
Across 16 games in 2025, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift recorded 1,386 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 257 touches. Swift has been one of the NFL's more consistent backs in recent years, as he's now logged three consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played, 250 touches, and 1,260 yards from scrimmage. However, Swift's usage in Chicago declined a bit down the stretch of the 2025 season thanks to the emergence of Bears running back Kyle Monangai. From Week 11 through Week 18, neither Swift nor Monangai played more than 60% or fewer than 40% of Chicago's offensive snaps. Entering 2026, the two backs appear set to both play significant roles in the Bears' offense. With Swift entering his age-27 season and the final year of his current contract, Monangai may profile as the future of the running back position in Chicago. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling high on Swift ahead of a possible production decline in 2026.

James Cook III News
Friday, June 12, 5:28 AM
After missing the media-accessible portions of organized team activities, Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III has been a full-go at this week's mandatory minicamp, and the reigning rushing king told reporters on Wednesday that one of his goals for 2026 is to take better care of the football. Cook fumbled six times in 2025, with three resulting in turnovers, after putting the ball on the ground only once in 2024, resulting in a league-leading 16 rushing touchdowns. If Cook can help to keep more drives alive and resulting in points, the fantasy ceiling rises even higher for a player who has also caught 109 passes over the past three seasons. With Joe Brady moving from offensive coordinator to head coach, there's a natural expectation that he will lean on his three-time Pro Bowl running back during the transition, and with a fourth straight top-12 fantasy finish a very realistic possibility, the 26-year-old Cook is RotoBaller's dynasty RB7.
