Is D'Andre Swift Playing Today? Should I Pickup and Start Jamaal Williams or Craig Reynolds For Fantasy Football?

Jamaal Williams - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is D'Andre Swift playing today versus the Cowboys, and is Jamaal Williams or Craig Reynolds worth picking up and starting? Read the injury updates for Swift, Williams, and Reynolds in Week 7.

As fantasy football managers are finalizing their lineups for Week 7, some last-minute injury situations will shape their decisions and separate the winners from the losers.

Let's check in on the status of the Detroit Lions' running backs for their Week 7 game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Is D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams, or Craig Reynolds playing today? Should I start D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams, or Craig Reynolds? Below we take a quick look at the updated injury status for Swift and attempt to answer these questions.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Is D'Andre Swift Playing In Week 7 Against the Cowboys?

D'Andre Swift has been battling ankle and shoulder injuries over the last several weeks and has not played since Detroit's Week 3 loss to Minnesota. Despite practicing in limited fashion this week, Swift does not appear ready to suit up and is reportedly not expected to play against the Cowboys in Week 7.

Detroit was hopeful that Swift would be ready to return after last week's bye, but it appears that the former Georgia Bulldog won't be ready until at least Week 8.

 

Is Jamaal Williams Starting In Week 7 Against the Cowboys?

Jamaal Williams has handled starting RB duties for Detroit since Week 4. Williams has performed more than admirably in D'Andre Swift's absence, tallying 251 rushing yards and four TDs since gaining an expanded role in Week 3 against Minnesota.

With Swift reportedly set to miss Week 7's contest against the Dallas Cowboys, we can expect Williams to maintain his role as Detroit's starting RB in Swift's absence against a Dallas defense that is allowing 4.35 yards per carry to opposing running backs this season.

 

Should I Start Jamaal Williams or Should I Start Craig Reynolds?

Jamaal Williams has been one of the best handcuff backs in fantasy football this year, and he's once again a rock-solid option in Week 7. Fantasy managers can fire him up with confidence as a strong RB2 this week.

Craig Reynolds has been used as a change-of-pace behind Williams in Swift's absence. While Reynolds has been fine in the role, volume is a legitimate concern, as he's tallied just 12 total touches over Detroit's last two while playing directly behind Williams. He's nothing more than a desperation FLEX play for fantasy managers that have limited options.
