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

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift gashed Washington for 108 yards on 14 carries and added two catches (three targets) for 67 yards through the air on Monday night, including a 57-yard touchdown. Swift was efficient on his carries all night as the Bears consistently used him on outside runs and got him into space. His 108 rushing yards were his most in a game since last season against Washington, when he ran for 129 yards on 18 carries. The 26-year-old entered the night averaging just 3.3 yards per carry, but more than doubled that with an impressive 7.7 yards per attempt in this game. This breakout performance could signal better days for Swift in the future, and he'll rank in RB2 territory for Week 7 against the Saints.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Nacua is being considered day-to-day after injuring his left ankle in the team's Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens, but he is firmly up in the air to play in London in Week 7 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The fact that the 24-year-old isn't practicing on Wednesday is not a great sign, but he still has two days to get back on the field. It seems more likely that the Rams will hold the star wideout out of this weekend's game, with their bye coming in Week 8. We will continue to closely monitor Nacua's status, but fantasy managers should be preparing as if he won't suit up for their international game. If Nacua is out, Davante Adams will operate as the WR1, with Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) seeing an uptick in targets, too.
