D'Andre Swift Should Remain an RB2 for Fantasy Managers in 2026

Monday, August 31, 9:54 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift had a solid 2025 season, tallying 1,087 rushing yards, 34 catches, 299 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns. He saw his workload slip a little bit as Kyle Monangai took on a bigger role during the second half, but Swift still had control of the backfield by season's end. While Monangai is trending up ahead of 2026, it's hard to imagine the Bears shifting away from a backfield dynamic that clearly worked last year. Swift was highly efficient, and although he did share plenty of snaps and volume with Monangai, there's no doubt that he could have handled an every-down role if necessary. Having Monangai by his side to lighten his load and keep his legs fresh could actually be key for Swift heading into his age-27 season. The seventh-year NFL veteran may no longer be pushing for 20 touches per game, but with high efficiency on the ground and a persistent nose for the end zone, he's still a legitimate RB2 option in all fantasy leagues. The experts agree, as Swift ranks as the overall RB17 in RotoBaller's latest 2026 fantasy football rankings for redraft leagues.

TreVeyon Henderson News

TreVeyon Henderson Not Cleared for Full Practice Participation

Tuesday, September 1, 10:27 AM

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) continues to rehab a right-ankle injury that he suffered last Monday in training camp practice, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. Henderson was present in the locker room on Tuesday and was walking normally, but he has not yet been cleared for a return to full participation. The 23-year-old second-year back's injury does not appear to be serious, but the Patriots are playing it safe in hopes that Henderson will be ready for the Week 1 season opener on Wednesday, Sept. 9, against the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of the Super Bowl. It may not be a serious injury, but Henderson is running out of time, and the Patriots could limit his workload next Wednesday if he is active. The former second-rounder last year from Ohio State was productive with 911 rushing yards and nine rushing scores on 180 carries in 17 regular-season games, adding 35 catches for 221 yards and another touchdown through the air. However, he was a liability in pass protection and did not make strides in that area this summer in training camp. Therefore, Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson will continue to split backfield work nearly down the middle. Fantasy managers should treat Henderson as a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex as he enters Year 2.
