D'Andre Swift Eyeing More Explosive Runs in 2026

Wednesday, August 5, 6:26 AM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift set career highs of 1,087 rushing yards and nine rushing scores in his second season with the Bears, but there's one area of his game that he feels he can still improve. 2025 was the first season in his six-year career that he did not break a run for at least 25 yards, something he spoke about with reporters on Tuesday. "The only thing I was missing last year that I need to do a better job of is I need more explosive runs, longer runs," he said. "I need to showcase that. I didn't have a lot of those last year. I think we can go out there and improve that." Detailing where that improvement can come from, Swift shared his goals of "creating more space for myself" and "making the most out of when I do get space." The Bears have been lauded all offseason as an offense on the rise, with expectations high for quarterback Caleb Williams and a young group of pass-catchers in year two under Ben Johnson. Still, at RotoBaller's RB19, Swift has become somewhat of a forgotten piece and could prove to be one of the better values in 2026 drafts.

Rachaad White Remains Useful for Win-Now Dynasty Teams

Sunday, July 26, 10:21 AM

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White still has a place on win-now dynasty rosters, even if this backfield never gives him a traditional lead role. White finished 2025 with 572 yards and four touchdowns on 132 carries, then added 40 catches for 218 yards. The receiving work has always been the draw. He has 205 receptions through four NFL seasons, and Dan Quinn specifically pointed to what White added in the passing game during the offseason program. Washington has not named a starter, though Quinn expects several backs to handle important parts of the job. Jacory Croskey-Merritt led the team with 805 rushing yards and eight touchdowns last season, while Jerome Ford, Jeremy McNichols, and rookie Kaytron Allen leave plenty to sort out in camp. White may not get enough carries to become a weekly starter, but he does not need that kind of workload to help in PPR leagues. RotoBaller ranks him RB37 in dynasty. At 27 and on a one-year contract, he offers little reason for rebuilding teams to wait. Contenders can use the catches now and live with the uncertainty.
