Swift won't see many stacked boxes and will have plenty of chances to make the Bears look smart for signing him and fantasy players look smart for drafting him... I expect more receiving work and another top-15 finish.

RB14 in 2025; Johnson system projects RB21 with more receiving work

Swift finished RB14 overall in 2025 despite career-low 34 catches for 299 yards and one touchdown, ahead of Saquon Barkley and Breece Hall. Under Bears head coach Ben Johnson (architect of Gibbs-Montgomery split in Detroit), Swift has significant upside: in 2021 with Johnson in Detroit, he caught 62 passes for 452 yards and two touchdowns (78 targets) and finished RB10 on a points-per-game basis. Averaged 4.87 yards per carry last season and will continue as lead back with Kyle Monangai in supporting role. With Caleb Williams entering his second season under Johnson, Footballguys noted Swift won't see stacked boxes and will have chances to validate the Bears' signing and fantasy managers' draft investment. Footballguys projection RB21; ADP RB24. Harris expects more receiving work and another top-15 finish.
