Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Ladd McConkey

On Sunday, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift had an outstanding game against the Washington Commanders, recording 18 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown. He made a game-changing 56-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, sparking a stagnant Bears offense at a crucial moment. Swift demonstrated his ability to create explosive plays when provided with solid blocking and space to operate. Although it was disappointing that he finished without any receptions, given that Caleb Williams only completed ten passes overall, there's optimism that Swift will see more opportunities in the passing game moving forward. Additionally, it was concerning for Swift's fantasy owners to see Roschon Johnson take goal-line carries, which must be monitored. Swift will aim to maintain his momentum against a vulnerable Arizona Cardinals defense next week.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hip) had his best game as a pro so far in a Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. McConkey made six catches on six targets, gaining 111 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Despite missing some practices during the week with a hip injury, McConkey looked excellent in this game, scoring his first touchdown in the third quarter on a 60 yard play and his second in the fourth on a nine-yard pass into the corner of the end zone. It was an impressive performance by the rookie product out of Georgia, who should once again be in the WR2 conversation in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns.
