Detroit Lions star running back D'Andre Swift seems to be a question mark on a weekly basis in the 2022 NFL season. As fantasy managers prepare for Week 10, Swift's availability is once again a concern.
Swift has been perpetually banged up this year. He did return to action against the Green Bay Packers last week, but received just five touches on very limited snaps.
Is D'Andre Swift practicing this week? What is his fantasy football injury outlook for Week 10?

Is D'Andre Swift Hurt Or Healthy?
When it comes to D'Andre Swift's health, things are rarely black and white. Once again, fantasy managers seem to be stuck in a gray area with Detroit's star running back ahead of a Week 10 clash against the Chicago Bears.
By all accounts, Swift heads into Week 10 healthy. He was listed as a limited participant in Detroit's Wednesday and Thursday practices this week and managed to turn in a full session on Friday. Swift enters Week 10's game against the Bears with no injury designation.
D'Andre Swift Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 10
Despite Swift's clean injury designation, things are still tricky in Week 10. He was reportedly frustrated with his minuscule usage last week, but Lions' HC Dan Campbell has repeatedly said that they would take their time with their star RB.
At the end of the day, it's anyone's guess as to what type of workload Swift will see against Chicago in Week 10. We can expect backfield mate Jamaal Williams to continue handling the bulk of the carries, but Swift's elite fantasy ceiling has always been tied to his ability as a pass catcher.
The likeliest scenario is that Swift's usage falls somewhere between his tiny Week 9 volume and his normal workload - he averaged 13 total opportunities per game over the first three weeks of the season - but that still leaves fantasy managers in a bit of limbo. He'll be dependent on high efficiency, but if you have Swift on your roster you are locking him in as a boom/bust FLEX play in this juicy matchup against an ailing Chicago defense.
