Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Tank Bigsby

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is looking to sustain his elite productivity in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. Swift had a monster game in Week 13, totaling 138 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against the defending champion, Philadelphia Eagles. While Swift has averaged 14.4 PPR fantasy points per game this season, rookie running back Kyle Monangai has been performing like a number-one running back as well. Over the past three weeks, the split has been nearly even, with Swift playing 52% of the snaps and Monangai playing 46%. The matchup is not ideal as well, with the Packers ranking as the seventh-best run defense in the NFL this season. Swift's fantasy value will come down to game script, as he should be considered a low-end RB2 in Week 14.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby only saw the field for one play in last week's loss to the Bears, getting out-snapped by fellow RB Will Shipley. Granted, Shipley himself only got four snaps on offense. Philly had to rely more on the passing game against Chicago due to trailing for over three full quarters, leaving even Saquon Barkley with a light workload. It wasn't a great game to be a backup in this backfield, but Bigsby has shown that he's probably the guy to turn to when Barkley needs relieving going forward. Expect him to see some more action this week against the Chargers, but still not enough to warrant a fantasy start.
