Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Kyren Williams

Friday, September 12, 11:07 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is looking to bounce back after an inefficient outing to start the season. Swift was the workhorse in Week 1, totaling 20 attempts for 65 yards against the difficult Minnesota Vikings run defense. Head coach Ben Johnson stated, "He needs to call more run plays." The matchup is just as difficult in Week 2, as Swift faces the Lions defense, which allowed the second-fewest rushing yards to running backs in 2024. The Lions' defense was able to contain Packers running back Josh Jacobs, who averaged 3.5 yards per carry in Week 1. Swift struggled against his former team last season, averaging less than three yards per carry in those games. Swift is a mid to low-RB3 this week, with his fantasy production likely depending on whether he scores a touchdown or not.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams remains a strong fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Williams' nose for the end zone was on display once again last week as he scored a touchdown against the Houston Texans, and he has a strong chance to score this Sunday in a very favorable matchup against the Titans. Just last week, we saw this Tennessee defense surrender 151 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown to a Broncos team that admitted it didn't even run the ball as much as it should have. If Denver could have pushed closer to 200 yards on the ground, then there's a very real chance that someone like Williams can go for 100 yards and a touchdown, especially with game script and time of possession favoring the Rams. Williams is a high-end RB2 with mid-range RB1 upside.
