This one comes out of left field, as Swift was able to finish the game this past weekend without receiving a designation or missing any more time than anticipated. Swift did log a season-low in snap share against the Packers on Sunday, which we’ve largely chalked up to the switch at offensive coordinator at this point – however, there is the potential, it would seem, that an injury could have been factoring into his reduced workload. Regardless, RB Roschon Johnson was on the upswing anyway in this last game and seems primed for a more substantial role in the Bears' offense moving forward. It’s early in the week, so fantasy managers shouldn’t start panic-adding players off the waiver wire or make impulsive trade decisions. However, a tough schedule the rest of the way (including the most difficult schedule for RBs over the past four weeks), wouldn’t mix well with Swift nursing an injury for fantasy purposes. Should D’Andre Swift be forced to miss this week, Roschon Johnson would have instant potential RB2 appeal – though expectations should be tempered with the former Texas Longhorn given Chicago’s severe struggles on offense this season, even with a new offensive coordinator.
