Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Xavier Worthy

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is on a roll as the team's feature back. In the 26-14 win over the visiting New Orleans Saints on Sunday in Week 7, Swift carried the ball a season-high 19 times and ran for a season-high 124 yards while also scoring his third rushing touchdown of the year. He added one catch on his only target for a 14-yard gain. The Bears leaned heavily on their backfield in this one, with rookie Kyle Monongai also seeing 13 carries that he took for 81 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old Swift was extremely efficient with his opportunities against New Orleans, and he's been a big part of head coach Ben Johnson's offense all year, seeing at least 12 rushing attempts in all six of his games so far in 2025. The Bears have now won four games in a row and will look to make it five in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. Swift will look to make it three straight 100-yard rushing games in that contest against the Ravens' suspect defense.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7. Worthy caught two passes for 20 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions. The speedster was on the injury report with shoulder and ankle injuries this week, but practiced fully all week and is good to go for this week's matchup. Worthy has been the de facto WR1 for Kansas City since returning from his shoulder injury in Week 1, but it looks like he will have to relinquish that role against the Raiders. With fellow wide receiver Rashee Rice returning from suspension this week, Worthy may be less featured in the passing game. That said, Worthy and Rice win in different areas of the field, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the duo coexist. Rice's return takes pressure off and opens things up downfield for Worthy. The Raiders have also given up the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, so both wideouts can find their share of success in this matchup. Worthy is ranked WR19 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a solid WR2 this week.
