D’Andre Swift’s Status for Week 4 Against Raiders
As the late afternoon fantasy football window approaches, tension mounts for those finalizing their lineups, particularly regarding Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift. Officially listed as questionable for the Week 4 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a hip injury, Swift’s status is a focal point for fantasy managers. The game is set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET, leaving little time for last-minute adjustments.
Injury Update and Expectations
Despite his questionable designation, optimism surrounds Swift’s ability to take the field. Ian Rapoport from NFL Network reports that Swift is expected to play through his hip injury. This news brings a sigh of relief to many fantasy owners who have been keeping a close eye on his condition.
Should Swift unexpectedly be ruled out, his backup Kyle Monangai would likely step into a more prominent role. Monangai would become an appealing late pickup for those looking to pivot their lineups quickly.
Swift’s Performance So Far
In the early stages of the season, Swift has managed 42 carries for 149 yards and one touchdown. Additionally, he has proven to be a valuable asset in PPR (points per reception) formats, tallying nine receptions for 63 yards.
While he may not be an outright must-start, his potential to contribute makes him a reasonable FLEX option. For fantasy managers contemplating his inclusion, the indications suggest it would be wise to keep Swift in their lineups as game time approaches.
