D'Andre Swift Week 8 Outlook - Bears at Commanders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Swift should have an awesome Week 8. He is the RB16 in fantasy points per game, ranking 15th in opportunity share, 13th in weighted opportunities, and 13th in snap share. Since Week 4, he has averaged 22.3 touches and 134.7 total yards per game. While Swift has been crushing for fantasy, that doesn't mean that he has been amazing when it comes to breaking tackles. Among 66 qualifying backs, he is 50th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 60th in yards after contact per attempt. He has been greatly helped by his offensive line, who, since Week 4, ranks 11th-best in yards before contact per attempt. Swift should dominate on the ground this week against a run defense that has allowed the second-highest explosive run rate, the third-highest yards before contact per attempt, the second-highest yards per carry to gap runs, and the third-highest success rate to gap runs (Since Week 4, Swift 63% gap).
