Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Rachaad White

Thursday, November 13, 3:44 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) returned to a full practice session on Thursday after he was limited the day before, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. Swift missed the Week 9 game due to a nagging groin issue, but he returned in last week's win over the New York Giants and handled 18 touches for 98 scrimmage yards. However, rookie RB Kyle Monangai, who went off in Week 9 in Swift's absence, scored the team's lone rushing touchdown on seven carries. The 26-year-old Swift is still the Bears' lead back, but the emergence of Monangai as his change-of-pace backfield mate could limit Swift's overall weekly upside in the second half of the season. Swift is the RB14 in half-PPR scoring this year with 544 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 113 carries while adding 23 catches for 210 yards and another score in eight games. He'll be a high-end RB2 in Week 11 against the G-Men.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White will remain as the lead back for at least one more week. White is set to make his fifth straight start with Bucky Irving (shoulder, toe) ruled out for this Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots. During that time, White has seen a significant increase in playing time which has resulted in increased fantasy value. The downside is, White really hasn't found much success on the ground with 41 rushing yards or fewer in three of those four games. He comes into a tough matchup against a Pats defense that has done well against the run. The 26-year-old will likely need to get involved through the air in order to offer RB2 value this weekend.
