D'Andre Swift Off The Injury Report
2 years agoDetroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) has been taken off the injury report on Friday and is expected to play in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins. Swift will make his return to the field for the first time since Week 3 after practicing in full this week. However, given the long layoff, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see him share a considerable amount of the backfield workload with teammate Jamaal Williams. Even before his injuries, Swift was sharing the backfield with Williams in the first three weeks of the season. Swift only had 27 carries in his three games, but he averaged 8.6 yards per tote for 231 yards and a touchdown, adding eight catches on 12 targets for 77 yards and another score. The 23-year-old will likely need to stay highly efficient to reward fantasy managers as an RB2 this weekend in his return.
