D'Andre Swift Fumbles and Loses Lead-Back Role in Week 4

Sunday, October 4, 6:26 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift rushed for 58 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 4 win over the New York Jets. He also caught two passes for 16 receiving yards. Swift averaged fewer than four yards per carry, and he also fumbled the ball away for the second time in the last three weeks. Not only did the veteran have a suboptimal day, but his teammate, Kyle Monangai, was absolutely explosive. Monangai had one of the best games of his young career, carrying the ball 30 times for 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns. For Swift's fantasy managers, seeing his inefficiency, his fumble, and his teammate's career performance was a nightmare combination. This Chicago offense loves to run the football, so it's not as if Swift has lost his fantasy relevance forever. However, he entered this week as a top-eight running back in total scoring, and he'll leave this week as a low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 going forward. The good news for Swift is that he gets a softer matchup next week against the Packers.

RJ Harvey a Factor in Broncos Passing Game

Saturday, October 3, 4:00 AM

While he hasn't done much work on the ground this season, totaling only five carries for 24 yards through two games played, Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey has been a factor in the passing game. Harvey is second among Broncos pass catchers in both targets (11) and receptions (10), while his 64 yards receiving are fourth on the team. This past week, Harvey hauled in six receptions for 41 yards during a win over the Los Angeles Rams. In Week 4, the Broncos face a San Francisco 49ers defense that allowed Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love to record five receptions for 19 yards and a touchdown last Sunday. Harvey is RotoBaller's 28th-ranked running back and is projected to score nine fantasy points against San Francisco.
