Video: 6 Players NFL OTA Insiders Say We NEED to Draft in Fantasy Football Leagues (2026)
Swift is clearly the lead back. Yeah, um I think this is one thing that people don't think about as much when it comes to fantasy. You think about um the guy the RB2 being drafted as like a handcuff, but what happens if the RB2 gets injured, right? So, if Kalen Ballage were to go down, you're then seeing De'Andre Swift go to like a third round type of value type of player, right? Or even maybe a second round type value type of player. Um so, he already has the the clear lead back role, which means when the team takes the field, he will be on the field first. And then, when it comes to pass catching duties, he will be that player instead of Kalen Ballage.

STACKED’s take

De'Andre Swift has the clear lead back role with the Bears and will handle the majority of pass-catching duties, with Kalen Ballage limited to change-of-pace roles.
