Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Puka Nacua

Friday, November 28, 8:29 PM

The Chicago Bears' rushing attack was unstoppable in their Week 13 win over the hosting Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday. Running back D'Andre Swift carried the ball 18 times for 125 rushing yards and scored on the ground in the 24-15 victory, adding one catch on his two targets for a gain of 13 yards. The crazy part is that the 26-year-old wasn't even Chicago's leading rusher on the day, as rookie Kyle Monangai led the team with 22 carries for 130 yards and also scored on the ground. Although Swift's fantasy managers can't be all that pleased that Monangai out-touched Swift, it was still nice to see Swift score his first touchdown on the ground since Week 8. Swift was Chicago's clear lead back for most of the season, but Monangai's emergence now gives the Bears the option to ride the hot hand as they get ready for a crucial divisional contest in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to rank as a top fantasy option ahead of Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Nacua has back-to-back seven-catch games, racking up 97 yards last weekend. He has gone without a touchdown in two consecutive contests but still ranks as the overall WR12 in PPR leagues during that span. For the full season, he has been the overall WR5. Nacua continues to reward fantasy managers with his high target share, route-running skills, and role in a high-powered passing offense led by MVP candidate quarterback Matthew Stafford. As long as Nacua and Stafford remain healthy, the former will be a must-start receiver in fantasy football. That remains the case in Week 13, despite Carolina allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. This week, Nacua ranks as the overall WR5 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.
