D'Andre Swift A Risky Flex Play Against The Texans
2 months agoChicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is a borderline flex/RB3 for Sunday's matchup against the Houston Texans, who have proven to be a tough opponent for running backs. Swift aims to rebound from a lackluster Week 1, where he managed only 30 yards on 10 carries and was targeted only once in the passing game — a notable concern given his past effectiveness as a receiving threat. Compounding the issue was poor offensive line play, with Titans rookie defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat dominating the interior. This situation does not bode well for the Bears' rushing attack going forward. Although the Texans allowed 4.7 yards per carry against the Colts last week, they have been stingy with rushing yards, allowing an average of just 73.6 yards per game to visiting backs since last season and holding Jonathan Taylor to only three yards per rush. With the Texans allowing more than 100 rushing yards to just one player last season, Swift is a risky flex option. Khalil Herbert was out-snapped by Travis Homer, making Swift the only viable RB fantasy option, but only if the Bears can sustain drives and improve their offensive line performance.
