Is it Time to Trade D'Andre Swift in Dynasty Leagues?

Monday, April 13, 6:23 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift enjoyed a productive 2025 season, amassing 1,087 rushing yards, 299 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns. He ranked as the overall RB15 in PPR leagues, tying his previous career-best fantasy finish. The 27-year-old's breakout campaign coincided with the arrival of head coach Ben Johnson, whose leadership helped take the Bears' offense to the next level. While we remain encouraged by the state of Chicago's backfield under Johnson going forward, it could still be a good time to sell high on Swift in dynasty leagues. Swift is heading into a contract year, and the emergence of Kyle Monangai could lead to a shift in the backfield dynamic. Monangai had 947 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns last year, suggesting he may be the running back of the future in Chicago. We saw Monangai eat into Swift's workload as the season went on, and we wouldn't be shocked if the Rutgers product takes over as the primary ball-carrier in 2026. Swift will still have a role, but managers should consider selling high this offseason while he's still priced as a mid-range RB2. They might not have that same luxury next offseason.

Tahj Brooks News

Tahj Brooks Appears Blocked Off from Playing Time in Cincinnati

Friday, February 20, 7:31 AM

A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks played a minimal role on offense in his first professional season. Across 16 games, the 23-year-old recorded just 54 yards from scrimmage on 17 total touches. Bengals running back Chase Brown has logged nearly 600 touches over the past two seasons combined and is locked in as the RB1 in Cincinnati for at least 2026, blocking Brooks off from significant playing time. The Bengals also have steady veteran back Samaje Perine under contract for the 2026 season. Perine recorded 469 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns across 15 games with Cincinnati in 2025, and his reputation as a solid pass blocker and receiver should keep him secure in the team's third-down role. Post 2026, Brooks could have a pathway to more playing time in Cincinnati. However, it appears unlikely that he will have a chance to prove himself in the short term, barring an injury to Brown or Perine. Brooks' value in dynasty formats should be trending downward after his quiet rookie campaign.
