Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Brian Robinson Jr.

Tuesday, December 17, 1:07 AM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift amassed 79 yards on 19 carries in his team's 30-12 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. He added ten more through the air on his lone target. Swift bounced back in this one after a poor string of games on the ground, during which he averaged 35.7 yards per game and 2.82 YPC. Still, it wasn't enough to get him to double-digit fantasy points -- a feat he's failed to accomplish since Week 11. In his and his team's defense, they've been through quite the gauntlet of defenses over the last four weeks (MIN [twice], DET, SF). However, there is no denying that the Bears' offense lacks execution. The 25-year-old will get a rematch with Chicago's division-rival Detroit Lions in Week 16 and could be a candidate for a decent outing with the Lions' mounting injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied only 24 yards on 10 attempts during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He caught two of his three targets for 17 yards. While Robinson dominated the work in the backfield, he was not given as many attempts as he usually sees with the Commanders trailing throughout the afternoon. This caused quarterback Jayden Daniels to attempt a hefty 39 passing attempts. His 24 rushing yards was his lowest total in a single game this season. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with Robinson heading into Week 17, as the No. 2 option behind him, Jeremy McNichols, logged only two rushing attempts. The Alabama product will look to bounce back next Sunday against the Falcons, who have allowed the 10th-fewest PPR points to the position this season.
