Headliner Take

D’Andre Swift enters the 2025 fantasy football season as the clear lead back for the Chicago Bears after a 2024 campaign where he logged 253 carries for 959 rushing yards (3.8 YPC) and 6 touchdowns, along with 42 receptions for 386 yards. While Swift provided reliable volume and stayed healthy for all 17 games, his efficiency lagged, finishing near the bottom of the league in rushing yards over expected. His receiving role remained steady, ranking inside the top 10 in explosive receiving plays among running backs. For 2025, Swift’s fantasy outlook is anchored by his locked-in workload, but his production will depend heavily on whether he can improve his per-carry efficiency and benefit from any upgrades along the Bears’ offensive line. With the chance at HC and the addition of Ben Johnson this Bears offense has a chance to score big time points. If that happens, the Swift will greatly outproduce his ADP. Swift should still be viewed as a High upside RB2.
