BALLER MOVE: Leave On Waivers
ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is one of the biggest busts of the season. That doesn't mean you should add Khalil Herbert.
Focusing specifically on Swift.
In game: run on 39% of plays, 2.4 yards/run, 3.0 yards/pass
Out of game: run on 30% of plays, 4.4 yards/run, 5.0 yards/pass
Bears cannot afford to keep playing Swift as a lead back right now. He's killing their offense.

Swift is awful. He is holding back the Bears offense. There are a million problems with his game. He's supposed to be fast and shifty but he barely forces missed tackles. He averages 1.84 yards per carry on the season, which is unacceptable. Against the Colts, one of the worst run defenses in the league, he averaged 1.54 YPC.
Herbert hasn't been good though. On his eight carries, he has 2.0 YPC. Herbert hasn't made a single explosive play and also has horrendous efficiency. The Bears have problems along the offensive line, but Herbert isn't good enough to warrant any consideration.
For now, it's probably best to avoid the Bears backfield until someone emerges. Roschon Johnson had a decent day in Week 3, so he could earn a role, but the Bears love their committee backfields, so he may never get the work it takes to be fantasy-relevant.

BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
