PositiveUsageNov 4, 2026
D'Andre Swift continued to carry the load in the run game for the second consecutive week, posting 69 rushing yards on 27 attempts for a 2.6 yard average with a 7-yard long. Despite the modest efficiency, Swift moved the chains when it mattered and punched the ball in the endzone three times, continuing a season-long trend. His 10 rushing touchdowns lead the entire NFL at this point, and his ability to turn drives into 7 points has become a critical component for a Chicago offense that can hurt you in multiple ways. Swift's performance alongside the offensive line executing no-huddle, hurry-up, and audible situations has been instrumental, earning his 3-year, $33.75 million extension awarded at the beginning of the season.

Scored three rushing touchdowns to close out the game: a 1-yard run in the third quarter and two 5-yard runs in the fourth quarter. Swift's scoring runs exemplified Chicago's sustained, physical approach to the game; the source notes 'Swift's three rushing touchdowns closed the game after Seattle got within three' and 'Swift's short-yardage score perfectly complemented the long opening drive. Chicago is winning with sustained, physical football rather than relying on explosives.'
NegativeUsageOct 31, 2026
Swift is part of Chicago's productive rushing combination with 476 yards on 116 carries, averaging 4.1 yards per attempt with seven touchdowns through seven games. The Bears' ground game strategy does not require breaking off huge runs early; instead, they work through four- and five-yard gains to stay ahead of the chains and gradually force the defense to respect the run. This approach is particularly important against Seattle's defense, which wants to dictate passing situations and unleash its pass rush. Swift's usage profile, combined with Kyle Monangai's different approach, gives Johnson two backs that allow Chicago to keep its ground game involved throughout the game.

Swift was targeted on a checkdown in the 3rd quarter on 1st and 10, catching an 11-yard completion that resulted in a first down. The source uses this play to illustrate Williams' willingness to take the checkdown and work with what the defense presents rather than forcing downfield; Swift released into open space in front of the linebackers as deeper routes (Burden and Odunze on a deep scissors concept) were covered, and Williams delivered the easy completion giving Swift room to turn upfield.

Swift took on huge workload in Week 7 (RB13 on RB10 usage, 26 total touches) after Roschon Johnson fumbled, but appears banged up on tape and practice clips. The Seahawks present an elite rushing defense—the only truly elite run defense, allowing fewest passing yards per game (158) and sixth-fewest rushing yards per game (89). They shut Kenneth Walker III down to 57 scoreless yards on SNF. The Bears enter as 3-point road underdogs with 21.75-point implied total (18th), requiring adjustments.
PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Recorded 22 carries for 78 yards with a TD and a long rush of 10 yards against New England; though the stat line was not noteworthy, Swift was consistent throughout, wearing down Patriots' defenders with methodical 2-4 yard runs executed with aggression and forward lean. He also showed explosive runs where he made the first guy miss and maneuvered through multiple defenders. His 26 total touches were a season high, and he benefited from the mini-bye that comes with Thursday Night Football before a Monday night game.
NegativeInjuryOct 23, 2026
Swift appears to be getting healthier for the first time in a few weeks. His yard-per-carry numbers have steadily declined as the season has progressed, partly due to his own health issues and partly due to interior offensive line struggles. Swift has lost two fumbles in three games, which led to discussions about a 50-50 split with Monangai before Monangai's injury. The source notes Swift is playing through some things and will benefit from Monangai's return, which should allow Johnson to give Swift more of a break and reduce the punishment he's taking at the midpoint of the season.
