NBC Sports Rotoworld on D'Andre Swift
From the article
Swift's contract now values him like that player, and he played 43-of-75 snaps and was electric in Johnson's run attack as the Bears ran roughshod on the Panthers.
STACKED’s take
Swift's extension and snap share shift him from RB dead zone to potential season-long value.
Swift's stock rose significantly after the Bears signed him to a three-year extension on Friday, shifting his valuation from a back without franchise-back credentials (not good enough for Lions or Eagles, behind Kyle Monangai last year) to a player valued like a lead back. He played 43-of-75 snaps in Week 1 and was electric in Ben Johnson's run attack against the Panthers. The source notes Swift was the entrance point to the RB Dead Zone at ADP just ahead of MarShawn Lloyd, but the underlying situation has shifted greatly. If he plays 60 percent of snaps and the Bears focus on the run, the source believes Swift could be one of the best picks of the season and potentially a fantasy RB1.
