D'Andre Swift Suiting Up for Week 4 Against Las Vegas

Sunday, September 28, 3:32 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. Swift has delivered modest production through the first three games of the season, amassing 143 rushing yards, 69 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He ranks as the 24th-best running back in terms of fantasy scoring but should really be viewed as a mid-to-low RB3/flex, especially given that his snap share has declined since Week 1. We could see more Kyle Monangai on Sunday, but Swift will still be the primary option.

Kaleb Johnson Remains the Clear RB3 in Pittsburgh?

Tuesday, September 30, 11:59 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson had his best chance yet for a breakout game in Week 4 with Steelers RB1 Jaylen Warren (knee) sidelined by a knee injury. However, Johnson remained stuck behind veteran back Kenneth Gainwell, who logged 134 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 25 total touches against the Minnesota Vikings. Johnson had just six carries for 22 yards, and has recorded just eight carries for 21 yards on the season. Pittsburgh has a bye in Week 5, and Warren may be ready to return in Week 6 for the Steelers' matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Even if Warren remains out, there's little reason to think Johnson would be set to jump Gainwell on the running back depth chart in Pittsburgh. The 22-year-old rookie maintains fantasy appeal in dynasty leagues, but he's tough to roster with any confidence in redraft formats.
