Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Jaylen Warren

Wednesday, November 20, 1:03 PM

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that running back D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice on Wednesday. Swift is now one to watch closely as the team prepares to face off against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings this Sunday in Week 12. The Bears could just be resting the 25-year-old in the first practice of the week, but we won't know until Thursday if Swift gets back onto the field. He had 14 carries for 71 yards and his fifth rushing touchdown of the year in last week's loss to the division-rival Green Bay Packers while also catching both of his targets for 13 yards. Swift's fantasy value has been held back by Roschon Johnson getting considerable work in the red zone, though. If Swift's injury is serious enough to potentially keep him from playing against Minnesota, Johnson would be a popular plug-and-play fantasy option.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has seen his usage trend positively over the past few weeks and will look to stay involved against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12. Unfortunately for Warren, the Browns have been stout against opposing backs this season, especially in the passing game. Cleveland has surrendered the second-fewest receptions and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per contest to the position. With Najee Harris getting the bulk of the work on the ground, it's difficult to project Warren for much success on Thursday night in what is expected to be the lowest-scoring affair of the week. The 26-year-old should only be viewed as a desperation flex option in most formats.
