D'Andre Swift is the RB to Trust in the Bears' Backfield for Week 1 In a split-backfield scenario, D'Andre Swift emerges as the safer fantasy play for Week 1. His strong performance in the second half of last season, combined with a favorable matchup against the Panthers' vulnerable run defense, suggests he will outperform teammate Khalil Herbert. The Bears' high projected point total further supports Swift's potential for significant fantasy output. The Bears' backfield is a two-headed monster, and D'Andre Swift is the more reliable fantasy option in Week 1. While Khalil Herbert is a capable runner, Swift's all-around game and proven track record in the Bears' offense make him the RB to target. Swift was the RB13 on RB17 usage from Week 5 on last season, showing excellent vision and efficiency behind a strong offensive line. The Panthers, while adding some defensive talent, still struggle against the run, making this a favorable matchup for Swift to rack up both rushing and receiving yards. Bet on Swift to outpace Herbert in fantasy points this week. -thoughts by @RotoDoc
