Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Jonathon Brooks

On Sunday, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift had a challenging outing in the team's Week 12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Swift rushed 13 times for just 30 yards, marking his worst performance in recent memory, though it came against a tough Vikings defense. While the running game was largely ineffective, Swift made his presence felt in the passing game, hauling in three catches for 35 yards. Despite being bottled up on the ground, Swift sparked the offense with a key reception that helped set up a touchdown drive. However, in disappointing news for Swift fantasy managers, the touchdown run went to his backup, Roschon Johnson, who has become the Bears' go-to option in goal-line and short-yardage situations. With a quick turnaround, Swift and the Bears will look to rebound against the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks debuted in his first game but wasn't very involved in the 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie saw eight percent of the offensive snaps and registered two carries for seven yards with no work in the passing game. Due to a big first-half deficit, the Panthers were forced to abandon the run and the backfield as a whole only produced 85 total yards. Brooks will likely see some added snaps moving forward, but fantasy managers will want to be cautious with the split between him and Chuba Hubbard.
