BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: After a slow start to the season, Swift has been a fantasy force in his last three games posting 26, 19, and 20 fantasy points (half-PPR scoring).
While Roschon Johnson has established himself as Swift's main backup, it's been Swift who continues to lead this backfield with a 64.5% snap share on the season. His ability to be a threat in the passing game gives him another dimension that other backs don't bring to the table, too.
In his first three games of the season, D'Andre Swift never finished higher than the RB37 in half-PPR scoring formats.
In his last three games, D'Andre Swift hasn't finished lower than the RB6.

Swift has dominated the high-value touches down around the goal line, too, with 14 red zone carries over the last four games. It's no surprise then that he's scored a touchdown in each of his last three games, too.
Against the Commanders this week, Swift is a must-start as Washington is just 20th in rushing defense (DVOA) this season. Expect another 15+ touches for Swift in a game that could be high-scoring.
