D'Andre Swift

D'Andre Swift lands in Chicago with a contract that is large enough to consider him the clear starter for the Bears. Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson had their moments last season, but the aggression and contact size for Chicago speak volumes about how they feel about those two rushers. The Bears obviously felt that an upgrade was warranted. Swift ranked 17th in explosive run rate last season while disappointing in other tackle-breaking metrics as the RB24 in fantasy. Among 49 qualifying backs last season, Swift ranked 40th in yards after contact per attempt and 30th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Swift should be a solid RB2 in 2024.

The Bears have agreed to terms with free agent RB D'Andre Swift on a three-year, $24M deal.

Fantasy Impact

Swift ends his time with the Eagles after spending just one season in Philadelphia. The 25-year-old will cash in on his career season that saw Swift post 1,049 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 229 carries. Swift will enter the 2024 season as the lead back for the Bears’ offense.
