Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Ray Davis

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) has been ruled out for his team's Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a nagging groin issue, per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. The 26-year-old has recorded 656 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 118 total touches through seven games so far this season. It's unclear how long Swift will be sidelined, but Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that the groin issue is something Swift has been dealing with for multiple weeks. Without Swift in Week 9, the Bears will likely rely heavily on rookie running back Kyle Monangai. Monangai has been efficient on a limited workload so far this season, recording 247 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 48 total touches. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in a highly favorable matchup against Cincinnati in Week 9.

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis hauled in two receptions, including a touchdown against the Falcons in Week 6. Despite his season-high production, Davis remains strictly a handcuff for James Cook, as he has seen less than three touches in every game outside of the team's Week 2 blowout of the Jets. Davis accounts for just 7% of the team's rushing attempts this season, and has been targeted just four times in the passing game. Expect to see a hard-fought matchup with a stingy Panthers defense that will likely keep the Bills starters on the field throughout the game, making Davis nothing more than a handcuff for Cook.
