Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or CeeDee Lamb

The Chicago Bears' running back, D'Andre Swift, had another challenging performance in Week 2 against the Houston Texans. In the first half, the Bears managed only 18 rushing yards on 11 carries, with Swift contributing just 6 yards on seven attempts. Caleb Williams, who led the team in rushing yards, gained 9 yards on two carries. The offensive line struggled throughout, failing to create space for the running game and getting dominated at the interior and edges. The Bears ended the game with 22 carries for 71 yards, but Williams led the team with 44 yards on five carries. Swift finished with a disappointing 14 yards on 18 carries, averaging just 1.3 yards per carry. He added 24 yards on four receptions, but the team's shift away from the interior run game in the second half highlighted a significant issue. Swift's season may remain tumultuous without a solution for the struggling offensive line. For now, he should be considered a matchup-dependent RB3 or Flex option.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and cornerback Trevon Diggs (foot) will be limited in Thursday's practice, but head coach Mike McCarthy said, "I'm not of high concern there" in terms of their availability for the Week 3 contest on Sunday versus the Baltimore Ravens. Lamb did not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, raising some questions about his availability this weekend. But as long as the 25-year-old doesn't suffer a setback with his ankle the next couple of days, it sounds as though fantasy managers should expect him to play on Sunday in Dallas. We'll continue to keep a close eye on his practice status through Friday. There's no reason yet for fantasy managers to pull him out of their starting lineups for Week 3. Through two games, Lamb has nine receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown for the Cowboys.
