D'Andre Swift Fumbles and Loses Lead-Back Role in Week 4

Sunday, October 4, 6:26 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift rushed for 58 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 4 win over the New York Jets. He also caught two passes for 16 receiving yards. Swift averaged fewer than four yards per carry, and he also fumbled the ball away for the second time in the last three weeks. Not only did the veteran have a suboptimal day, but his teammate, Kyle Monangai, was absolutely explosive. Monangai had one of the best games of his young career, carrying the ball 30 times for 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns. For Swift's fantasy managers, seeing his inefficiency, his fumble, and his teammate's career performance was a nightmare combination. This Chicago offense loves to run the football, so it's not as if Swift has lost his fantasy relevance forever. However, he entered this week as a top-eight running back in total scoring, and he'll leave this week as a low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 going forward. The good news for Swift is that he gets a softer matchup next week against the Packers.

Zach Charbonnet News

Zach Charbonnet Will Not Play in Week 5

Monday, October 5, 9:15 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) is eligible to return after spending four weeks on the PUP list to begin the year, and while he will get reps in practice this week, head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters on Monday that he will not play in the team's Week 5 matchup with the 49ers. Charbonnet tore his ACL in the Divisional Round of the 2025 playoffs and returned to practice for the first time ahead of Sunday's win over the Chargers. The Seahawks' 2026 first-round pick Jadarian Price (chest) is currently on injured reserve with a chest injury, and in his absence on Sunday, Emanuel Wilson delivered the team's best running back performance of the season, totaling 120 yards and two touchdowns. Until Charbonnet is made active, Wilson remains a viable flex play, but a potentially messy committee could soon lower the fantasy value of all Seattle running backs.
