D'Andre Swift Could Have Expanded Role in 2026

Friday, August 7, 5:25 AM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift ran for a career-high 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025, but in catching a career-low 34 passes, head coach Ben Johnson views that as an area where he can still get his lead back more involved. Swift earned 148 targets in his two seasons with Johnson at passing game coordinator and offensive coordinator in Detroit, and while praising Swift as a runner, Johnson recently told reporters he wants to "continue to look at and challenge him" on receiving opportunities. How many opportunities will truly present themselves in an offense with Luther Burden III, Rome Odunze, and Colston Loveland is a question for debate, but even a modest increase to his receiving production could push Swift into RB1 territory after a top 15 finish in 2025.

Quinshon Judkins Primed for Workhorse Role

Tuesday, August 11, 9:36 AM

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is healthy and getting plenty of work as he heads into his second season. Scott Petrak of BrownsZone.com reports that the plan is for Judkins to be the workhorse in Todd Monken's offense, and that has shown up in camp with carries and catches. Judkins ran 230 times for 827 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games as a rookie, adding 26 receptions for 171 yards. Running backs coach Duce Staley believes he can handle all three downs, so the receiving work is worth watching after a fairly modest rookie total. The other encouraging part is his health. Judkins fractured his fibula and dislocated his ankle in Week 16, had surgery in December, and worked his way back during the offseason program. He has not missed a day of camp, and Petrak reports he looked 100 percent when practices began. Dylan Sampson will still get work, but Cleveland clearly wants Judkins at the center of the backfield. He is currently No. 57 overall in RotoBaller's PPR rankings.
