D'Andre Swift Likely To Miss Week 5
2 years agoThe Detroit Lions will likely be without running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) for the Week 5 game against the New England Patriots, according to a source. The plan is still for Swift to return after the team's Week 6 bye, barring an unforeseen development. The Lions will likely officially rule Swift out on Friday, but fantasy managers should already have the 23-year-old on their benches for this weekend. With Swift out last Sunday, Jamaal Williams had 19 carries for 108 yards and two touchdowns despite playing only 49 percent of the offensive snaps. With Swift set to miss a second straight game, Williams will have RB1 upside as a strong RB2 play for fantasy managers. Craig Reynolds will serve as the backup, but he had just two carries for 30 yards in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
