D'Andre Swift fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit D'Andre Swift for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Don't Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3
ANALYSIS: This week, D'Andre Swift might not be a prudent fantasy start as the Chicago Bears go up against the Houston Texans. Swift's performance in Week 1 was underwhelming, with just 10 carries for 30 yards and no receptions.
This lackluster stat line indicates that he was not heavily involved in the offense, raising concerns about his role and productivity moving forward. Swift's fantasy value is already in question without any contributions in the passing game and limited yardage on the ground.
Furthermore, while not elite, the Texans defense has effectively contained running backs. Given Swift's recent struggles and the possibility that the Bears could opt for a different offensive approach, his fantasy outlook for this week appears bleak.

➖RB21 or BETTER in ALL 4 years of his careerNow here’s the TRUTH:
Game script negatively impacted D’Andre Swift, Chicago was trailing Tennessee 17-0 early and they simply had to abandon the run.

Fantasy managers shouldn't start to panic about Swift yet, but looking on the positive side, Swift led all Chicago running backs in carries in Week 1. A lot of the minor usage could be attributed to the game script that the Bears were forced into after being down 17-3 at halftime.
Fantasy managers might want to consider alternative options, such as those who have demonstrated more consistent involvement and production, to avoid potential disappointment. Swift can be viewed as an RB3 and should only be started in deeper formatted leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]

He played 91 percent […]
