STACKED’s take
Safest round-five RB pick with top-24 PPG floor every season and elite consistency.
DeAndre Swift, 27.5 years old, is the safest round-five running back pick; he has never fallen below top-24 in points per game across his career, played at least 16 games for three straight seasons, averaged at least 3 targets per game every year of his NFL career, and at least 13 carries per game for three straight seasons. JJ Zachariason prefers Swift's situation in Chicago (top offense, strong offensive line, good coaching staff) over other round-five options, citing consistency and reliability. While Kyle Manungai showed promise in the one game without Swift (73% snap share, 22.8 fantasy points, 31 total opportunities), Swift is likely to remain the starter but faces a 5-20% risk of being beaten out.
