Who Should I Start? Robby Anderson or D'Andre Swift

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Robbie Chosen (concussion) was upgraded to limited participation in Thursday's practice after managing no activity on Wednesday. Chosen sustained a concussion in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys and hasn't yet cleared each step of the protocol to get in full practice participation. The 30-year-old deep threat has only appeared in seven games for the Dolphins in 2023, catching four of his five passes for 126 yards and one touchdown, but he has a chance for increased playing time with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) looking doubtful to be active on Sunday versus the Baltimore Ravens. Any kind of expanded role is still unlikely to be enough to get Chosen onto the fantasy radar as managers look to take home a title in Week 17, but the Dolphins are going to want as much firepower as they can muster against a high-octane Ravens offense.

The Chicago Bears signing of former Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift was one of the first moves of free agency, and head coach Matt Eberflus suggested he will be a passing game weapon for the organization. "We just felt that we wanted a home-run hitter there. I think D'Andre brings that. We wanted a weapon back -; a guy who could be a weapon out of the backfield," Eberflus said. "I know that in situational football it's very difficult to be able to have the two guys outside covered, two tight ends covered, and then you got another situation where you have the weapon back inside. So that was critical." It sounds like Chicago is planning to utilize Swift out of the backfield more often, which was a role he excelled in while in Detroit. Swift posted just a 10% target share in his lone season in Philadelphia after being at 15.1% in 2022 and 18.4% in 2021. With Chicago almost certainly slated to take USC's Caleb Williams with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Swift could see a ton of usage underneath as a receiver while Williams feels out the NFL game.
