D'Andre Swift Fantasy

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals, which has become a familiar weekly occurrence for the sophomore. He has been dealing with this nagging groin issue for most of the season but it doesn't seem like something that should hold him out of action. The 22-year-old has RB1 upside in PPR formats and can be started with confidence because of his significant role as a pass-catcher. If he is a surprise inactive on Sunday, Jamaal Williams would get all the work he could handle and would be a strong RB2 with upside

Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (hip) were limited practice participants on Wednesday to begin the week. Swift and Williams continue to be limited but haven't missed any game time and should be good to go in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals, barring any setbacks. Without many options to go to in this offense, the Lions are leaning heavily on both Swift and Williams, and that shouldn't change at all against Cincinnati this weekend. Swift will remain in the low-end RB1 category as Detroit's primary back, while Williams will continue to be more of an RB3/flex option for fantasy managers.

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams will continue to serve as the second option in the backfield against the Bengals in Week 6. Williams has actually out-carried Swift the past two weeks but Swift's ability in the passing game holds back Williams' value. Both will face a Bengals defense that is allowing the 15th fewest fantasy points to opposing runners. After posting 110 total yards in Week 1, Williams has failed to eclipse 67 all-purpose yards in a game since.
