D'Andre Swift A Risky Flex Play Against Tough Lions Defense In Week 13
5 mins agoChicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift shapes up as a risky flex option in Week 13 as he faces one of the most formidable run defenses in the NFL in the Detroit Lions. Despite some injuries, Detroit's rush defense remains formidable, ranking fifth in rush yards allowed and second in points allowed. Swift had a down performance in Week 12, rushing 13 times for just 30 yards and failing to generate the big plays that have been key to his fantasy value in recent weeks. To make matters worse for Swift, fellow running back Roschon Johnson has been taking over goal-line duties, leaving Swift in more of a boom-or-bust role. If he doesn't hit a home run, he could be in for another disappointing performance, especially against a defense as stout as Detroit's. Given the matchup, Swift is downgraded to a flex play this week, with his best chance of delivering value coming from finding the end zone on a big play against his old team.
