D'Andre Swift Fantasy

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift enjoyed his best game as a pro, carrying the ball 14 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns in the Lions 34-16 romp over the Jaguars in Week 6. This is the type of performance that had fantasy teams so excited about Swift heading into the season as the rookie gashed the Jaguars in the second half. Veteran running back Adrian Peterson also punched in a touchdown but Swift even took over goal-line duties by the second half. This development is excellent news for Swift in fantasy moving forward and could mean less touches for Peterson heading into Week 7.

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift will face a Jaguars Defense in Week 6 that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing runners this season. The rookie endured a rough start to his season, dropping a game-winning touchdown in Week 1. Swift also has been unable to supplant veteran runner Adrian Peterson for lead running back duties and has only 12 carries from the backfield this season. Swift has been able to help out in the passing game and the hope is that he should continue to see more looks as the season progresses. Until fantasy teams see a breakout performance, Swift needs to ride the bench in Week 6.

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift post 52 all-purpose yards with one touchdown in the Lions 35-29 loss to the Saints in Week 4. Swift caught four passes in the game and looked more comfortable in the offense. He still is being out-carried by teammate Adrian Peterson 2:1 on a weekly basis but the rookie is slowly proving himself. Swift will remain a bench stash on fantasy teams for now but it might not be long before he gets more touches in the offense.
