D'Andre Swift carried 27 times for 69 yards and three touchdowns and caught two of three targets for 10 yards in the Bears' 34-17 win over Seattle on Thursday. The line was worth 26.9 half-PPR points, well above the 16.0 half-PPR points a game he had averaged over his previous 7 games.

Swift's volume makes him a solid RB2 for Week 9 against Tampa Bay, though the matchup is difficult. The Buccaneers have allowed 15.1 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the 3rd fewest of 32. His 2.0 carries inside the 5 a game over his last three outings (6th of 112 running backs) give him weekly touchdown upside even when the yardage total stays modest.

D'Andre Swift

Swift's 27 carries were a season high, though his 2.6 yards per attempt was the lowest of any game this year. The three scores came from heavy use near the goal line: he has averaged 2.0 carries inside the 5 and 3.5 carries inside the 20 over his last three games (6th and 12th of 112 running backs). Over that span he has averaged 21.7 carries and 4.0 targets a game for 21.6 half-PPR points a game, up from 16.6 carries and 3.6 targets over his previous 7 games.

Our models project 13.3 half-PPR points a game going forward and give him a Roundup Score of 86 out of 99 (9th of 111 running backs). His efficiency subscore of 82 (11th of 111 running backs) and rushing subscore of 87 (8th of 111 running backs) reflect strong play beyond the Week 8 yardage total. He is scoring about what his usage predicts over his last three games, though he has scored 1.5 half-PPR points a game below expectation this season (88th of 112 running backs), so his role is worth more than his recent points. Start him as a low-end RB1 or high-end RB2 in Week 9 despite the tough Tampa Bay matchup.

What to do

• Start Swift as a low-end RB1 or high-end RB2 in Week 9, trusting his volume and goal-line role despite the difficult matchup with Tampa Bay.

• Full-PPR managers should treat him as a mid-range RB2, as his limited receiving work (3.3 catches a game over his last three outings) caps his ceiling in that format.

• Standard-scoring managers can view him as a borderline RB1, given his heavy carry load and consistent touchdown opportunities near the goal line.
