Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Quinshon Judkins

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift said rookie Kyle Monangai is a "great addition" to the running back room. Monangai was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft following a productive final two seasons at Rutgers. The 23-year-old tallied at least 1,200 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in his junior and senior seasons. Now in Chicago, he could be competing for the RB2 role behind Swift with Roschon Johnson. "He don't really lack anything from what I'm seeing," Swift said. "Confident in his style of play, real low to the ground, great catching the ball out of the backfield. Solid, real solid." While seventh-round picks rarely make significant fantasy football impacts in Year 1, the Bears have one of the weaker RB units in the NFL, making Monangia one to watch as training camp progresses. He should be stashed in deep dynasty leagues.

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said on Thursday that he doesn't expect to see rookie second-round running back Quinshon Judkins on the field at training camp for a while. Judkins was arrested on July 12 in Florida on a charge of battery and domestic violence and remains unsigned. The Browns are in no rush to sign Judkins to his rookie deal as they gather information around his legal issues. The 21-year-old is a big-play threat any time he has the football in his hands and rushed for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns for Ohio State in 2024. He was drafted with the 36th overall pick in April and was viewed as the future lead back, but that might be put on pause as he faces missed games in 2025 due to a potential suspension. The longer Judkins remains away from the team, the more it helps the fantasy stock of both Jerome Ford (undisclosed) and rookie Dylan Sampson.
