D'Andre Swift News
Monday, August 17, 5:26 AM
Throughout his first six years in the league, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has had his detractors, but he has never finished outside the top 24 of his position, and in reuniting with head coach Ben Johnson in 2025, he turned in a career-best RB15 fantasy finish. Splitting work with rookie Kyle Monangai (knee), Swift topped 1,000 rushing yards for the second time in his career while tying his high mark of 10 total touchdowns. Monangai left Sunday's practice with a knee injury, and while it's not believed to be overly serious, his absence serves as a reminder that any time missed could lead to a bell-cow role for Swift in what projects to be one of the highest-scoring offenses in the league. Currently being drafted as the RB22, Swift can meet expectations simply by performing to the level he always has, but with multiple avenues for further upside, he could prove to be one of the better values in the middle rounds of 2026 drafts.

RJ Harvey News
Monday, August 10, 7:01 PM
Denver Broncos second-year running back RJ Harvey said that he's looking to become more explosive and produce more big plays in his sophomore season in the NFL, according to Susanna Weir of the team's official website. "I feel like that's my game," Harvey said. "That was my game in college. I made a lot of big plays. And this year, I want to get back to that and make a lot more big plays for my team." Twenty-three percent of Harvey's rushes in college went for at least 10 yards, and he had several big plays as a rookie with Denver in 2025 on his way to 540 rushing yards and seven touchdowns while adding 47 receptions for 356 yards and another five TDs as a pass-catcher. Harvey had a bigger impact in the passing game as a rookie, and that's where he's expected to be utilized the most in Year 2 alongside J.K. Dobbins and rookie Jonah Coleman. Head coach Sean Payton said Harvey "has some good stuff on tape already" this year and is encouraged by his "natural hands." Coleman's presence as a physical back between the tackles will limit Harvey's overall fantasy upside if Dobbins misses more time with an injury in 2026, making him more of an ideal RB3/flex target in point-per-reception fantasy leagues.
