Should I Drop D'Andre Swift? Fantasy Football Outlook

The New Chicago Bears' running back, D'Andre Swift, has disappointed massively through two games of the season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the injury to fellow RB Jeff Wilson Jr., Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright should be added in all leagues as a handcuff to RB De'Von Achane.

Jahan Dotson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5 ANALYSIS: Even if A.J. Brown misses time, Philadelphia Eagles WR Jahan Dotson isn't worth putting in your starting lineups.

Jaylen Warren - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/RB4 ANALYSIS: While Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren provides excellent receiving upside and tantalizing ability to produce explosive plays when healthy, he's still nursing a hamstring injury, and was clearly limited in Week 1, recording just two carries and two receptions.
