Footballguys on D'Andre Swift
From the article
Swift caught a career-low 34 passes last year. Back in 2021, under Johnson, he hauled in 62 catches on 78 targets for RB10 production on a per-game basis... Swift doesn't need more carries to outperform his RB22 ADP -- he needs Johnson to restore that receiving role.
STACKED’s take
Swift's RB22 ADP ignores his 2021 receiving upside; Johnson's system should restore 60+ catch potential.
Swift and Kyle Monangai formed one of the league's best RB duos last season under Ben Johnson, who ran the same Gibbs-Montgomery split in Detroit. Swift finished RB14—ahead of Saquon Barkley and Breece Hall—while averaging 4.87 yards per carry. The upside is what's missing: receiving work. Swift caught a career-low 34 passes last year; back in 2021 under Johnson, he hauled in 62 catches on 78 targets for RB10 production on a per-game basis. With Caleb Williams entering year two and Johnson's system creating lighter boxes, Swift doesn't need more carries to outperform his RB22 ADP—he needs Johnson to restore that receiving role. The source sees a real shot at top-15 numbers again in PPR scoring with enough receiving upside to push higher, with Swift being drafted in Round 4.
