From the video
It's not good for DeAndre Swift, and we saw that play out last week... I just think Swift by and large this year has played good football... DeAndre Swift, better days will be ahead. RB15... they just gave the dude a three-year, $34 million extension a month ago.
STACKED’s take
Swift benched for fumble but Hartitz expects short-term correction given $34M extension and solid play.
Hartitz ranks Swift RB14 (later RB15) despite last week's benching after a fumble—his second of the season. While Ben Johnson held Swift accountable by sitting him the rest of the game, Hartitz believes this is a short-term correction rather than a long-term demotion, citing Swift's three-year, $34 million extension signed a month ago and his overall solid play this season. The fumble was particularly unfortunate ("peanut punch") and not reflective of typical ball security issues. Swift still recorded 17 touches despite the fumble and the Bears' 89-play game. With Khalil Mungai dealing with a thumb injury, Hartitz expects Swift to return to prominence and views the benching as Johnson making a point about ball security and job security, not a permanent role change.
