D'Andre Swift Posts Massive Three-Touchdown Game

Sunday, September 13, 4:49 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift could not have started the season any better. The 27-year-old is earning every bit of that new extension by the looks of his performance during Sunday's season opener versus the Carolina Panthers. Swift carried the ball 18 times for 124 rushing yards and three touchdowns. He also hauled in his lone target for 10 yards in the blowout road victory. Swift averaged nearly 7 yards per carry during Sunday's game. Somebody changed the settings to easy mode in Madden before kickoff, as Swift had absolutely no problems running through the Panthers defense. He'll look to continue his success against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect another three-touchdown game, but anyone who puts Swift on the bench after that game looks as bad as the Panthers defense.

RJ Harvey a Low-End Flex Option vs. Chiefs

Saturday, September 12, 2:39 PM

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey will open the regular season in Kansas City on Monday Night Football. The 25-year-old is expected to specialize as the pass-catching running back in a crowded room after the team brought back J.K. Dobbins and drafted Jonah Coleman in the fourth round. Harvey finished his rookie season as the RB20 in PPR scoring and touchdown-reliant down the stretch. He is RotoBaller's PPR RB44 entering Week 1 with a semi-difficult matchup. The Chiefs' defense allowed the 10th fewest rushing yards and the 12th fewest rushing touchdowns last season. However, the Chiefs did struggle against pass-catching running backs last year, and the secondary took a major talent hit this offseason with the departure of their top three cornerbacks. Harvey should be viewed as a low-end flex option heading into Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season.
