Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Tyjae Spears

Sunday, September 28, 3:32 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. Swift has delivered modest production through the first three games of the season, amassing 143 rushing yards, 69 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He ranks as the 24th-best running back in terms of fantasy scoring but should really be viewed as a mid-to-low RB3/flex, especially given that his snap share has declined since Week 1. We could see more Kyle Monangai on Sunday, but Swift will still be the primary option.

Tennessee Titans running backs coach Randy Jordan hinted that running back Tyjae Spears will be in line for an increased workload in his second game of the season in Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com. Jordan said that Spears is capable of playing on all three downs and can give Tony Pollard a rest when needed. The RBs coach also talked about Spears' role in the team's two-minute drill and as a checkdown pass-catcher out of the backfield. The 24-year-old only played 26 percent of the offensive snaps in his season debut in last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals as the team eased him in. Fantasy managers should expect Spears to have a slightly bigger role this weekend in a plus matchup, but he's still going to make for a pretty risky flex play in PPR leagues. Spears had only four carries for 14 yards last week and wasn't targeted through the air.
