Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Jerome Ford

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.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball 11 times for 92 yards and a touchdown while catching all five of his targets for 39 yards in a 24-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. For the second straight game, Ford found the end zone as he provided the Browns their only points on a four-yard run in the third quarter. He has also shown his explosiveness of late, ripping off a 62-yard run against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15 and a 66-yard run against the Bengals in Sunday's loss. Ford is shaping up as a solid RB2 in fantasy heading into a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.
