Is it Time to Trade D'Andre Swift in Dynasty Leagues?

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.

Jaylen Warren News

Jaylen Warren's Production Upside is Limited in Pittsburgh

Monday, March 30, 11:09 AM

Across 16 games in 2025, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren recorded a career-high 1,291 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on 251 touches. Warren began the year as the featured back in Pittsburgh before gradually moving into more of a timeshare with former Steelers back Kenneth Gainwell. While Gainwell departed Pittsburgh in free agency, the Steelers brought in former Carolina Panthers back Rico Dowdle to replace him. Dowdle is known for his ability to run between the tackles on early downs and in short-yardage situations, which could mean Warren will be siloed to a third-down role in 2026. While Warren has been an efficient player (career average of 5.3 yards per touch) throughout his time in the NFL, Pittsburgh has never quite trusted him to take on a full RB1 workload. As a result, Warren's fantasy value has traditionally been limited to low-end RB2/flex status. With Dowdle now in Pittsburgh, Warren's upside in dynasty formats remains capped.
