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

Thursday, November 6, 3:36 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is trending in the right direction to make his return in Week 10 against the New York Giants on Sunday after upgrading to a full practice on Wednesday, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Swift was limited in Wednesday's practice after he was held out of the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals due to a lingering groin issue. The 26-year-old is feeling much better and said that he plans to be active this weekend. With Swift out last Sunday, rookie Kyle Monangai filled in nicely, going for 198 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 29 touches in a pristine matchup. Monangai could be mixed in more often going forward to make sure Swift remains healthy, but if Swift returns against the G-Men, Monangai will become a much riskier RB3/flex in fantasy. Swift should be Chicago's RB1 if he's back this weekend.

In the Philadelphia Eagles' final game before their Week 9 bye, star running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was forced to exit the game early due to a groin injury. That opened up an opportunity for Eagles back Tank Bigsby, who rushed for 104 yards on nine carries after taking over for Barkley. Immediately after Philadelphia's Week 8 game concluded, Barkley told reporters he expected to be ready for Week 10. Still, Bigsby could play a larger role in the Eagles' offense if Barkley is limited or his injury proves to be more serious than initially expected. Bigsby should be a waiver-wire target of fantasy managers in leagues with 12 or more teams heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
