D'Andre Swift News
Friday, August 7, 5:25 AM
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift ran for a career-high 1,087 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025, but in catching a career-low 34 passes, head coach Ben Johnson views that as an area where he can still get his lead back more involved. Swift earned 148 targets in his two seasons with Johnson at passing game coordinator and offensive coordinator in Detroit, and while praising Swift as a runner, Johnson recently told reporters he wants to "continue to look at and challenge him" on receiving opportunities. How many opportunities will truly present themselves in an offense with Luther Burden III, Rome Odunze, and Colston Loveland is a question for debate, but even a modest increase to his receiving production could push Swift into RB1 territory after a top 15 finish in 2025.

Zach Charbonnet News
Wednesday, August 12, 10:40 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is hard to trust for September, but he is still worth remembering late in redraft leagues. Charbonnet ran 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, with seven of those scores coming on 16 carries from inside the five-yard line. He also caught 20 passes for 144 yards. The problem is obvious: Charbonnet tore the ACL in his left knee during Seattle's divisional-round win over San Francisco and did not have surgery until Feb. 20. He remains on the PUP list, and the Seahawks have said a Week 1 return looks unlikely. Seattle also used the 32nd overall pick on Jadarian Price, so Charbonnet will not simply walk back into the job Kenneth Walker III left behind. George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are part of the mix, too. Even so, Charbonnet is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound back who already showed Seattle can trust him near the goal line, and RotoBaller has him all the way down at RB60. If your bench is deep enough to wait on him, there is still useful second-half upside here.
