Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Sunday, July 27, 10:01 AM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift was working in two-minute drills during Saturday's practice. The lead back job remains up in the air right now, but Swift seems the most likely starter to open the season. Last season, Swift rushed for 959 yards with six touchdowns while hauling in 42 receptions for an additional 386 yards through the air in 17 games during his first year in Chicago. It's worth noting that the Bears also have Roschon Johnson and Kyle Monangai competing for touches in the backfield. The Bears do have new head coach Ben Johnson leading the way in Chicago. Possibly, Johnson decides to use Swift in a different role this upcoming season. This is a situation to monitor throughout training camp.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. is listed atop the team's unofficial depth chart at the position. Veteran Devin Singletary is named as New York's RB2, with rookie Cam Skattebo the RB3. As a rookie in 2024, Tracy Jr. played in 17 games (12 starts), recording 1,123 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns on 230 total touches. The Giants used a fourth-round pick on Skattebo in the 2025 draft, leading to speculation about Tracy Jr.'s hold on the starting role. However, Tracy Jr. has reportedly been the clear leader in training camp, particularly with Skattebo (hamstring) battling a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old Tracy Jr. profiles as a high-end RB3 for PPR-scoring fantasy formats.
