2024 NFL Free Agent Running Backs
D’Andre Swift (RB – PHI)
Swift was a polarizing player during the 2023 preseason. Many thought Kenneth Gainwell would be the lead back. Instead, Swift was the RB17, averaging 11.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, accounting for nearly 70% of the backfield rushing attempts. If not for the fact that he consistently gets tackled at the one-yard line and sees Jalen Hurts get pushed into the end zone, Swift likely would have had his first double-digit rushing touchdown season in his career. Hopefully, he returns to Philadelphia, and the NFL bans the tush-push play.
- Early Redraft Outlook: High-end RB2 if he’s back with the Eagles.
- Offseason Dynasty Outlook: A potential sell candidate if he joins another team or the Eagles add a big-name complementary running back.
