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

Saturday, December 20, 7:19 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is officially active for Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Although rookie running back Kyle Monangai has carved out a consistent role in Chicago's offense this season, Swift remains the Bears' primary option out of the backfield. Over his last three games, the 26-year-old has totaled 54 touches, 351 scrimmage yards, and three touchdowns. Swift remains a must-start fantasy running back ahead of Saturday's divisional battle with the Packers. He's a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) does not carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's contest against the Commanders. Bigsby recorded his most rushing attempts in a game so far this season against the Raiders last week, racking up 17 carries for 57 yards. He had some heavy fourth quarter involvement with a 31-point lead and the game secured. Bigsby was also just one yard short of his first touchdown of the year. Unfortunately for him, this trend will likely continue, and he will only get this much time on the field when Saquon Barkley is either not healthy or not needed. It's clear at this point that Bigsby is the top understudy in the backfield, but he should not be starting in fantasy with him still being stuck down in the depth chart.
