D'Andre Swift Week 12 Outlook - Vikings at Bears

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Nov 23rd 2024, 3:05am EST

Last week, Swift lost his stranglehold on the Bears' backfield, playing 54% of the snaps overall, 59% of the rushing plays, and only 29% of the snaps in the red zone. Roschon Johnson had a 71% snap rate inside the red zone. That will be problematic for Swift moving forward if it sticks. Swift is the RB19 in fantasy, averaging 18.3 touches and 87.8 total yards. Last week, Swift had 16 touches and 84 total yards. Among 53 qualifying backs, Swift ranks 22nd in explosive run rate and 34th in yards after contact per attempt. Swift will run into brick walls all day in Week 12. Since Week 6, Minnesota has allowed the second-lowest rushing yards per game and yards after contact per attempt and the 11th-lowest explosive run rate. Swift has been listed as questionable this week (groin). He didn't practice on Wednesday, but he had a limited practice session on Thursday and full practice participation on Friday.
