Lions RB D’Andre Swift (groin) rushed 11 times for 51 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday’s 19-17 loss to Minnesota.
Fantasy Impact: The Lions finally feed their top-RB Swift in this one. Although Jamaal Williams took two more carried in this game, Swift both out-targeted him and out-snapped him in the game. It was the 22-year-old’s second rushing touchdown and third total score through five games. While Swift’s rushing totals have been disappointing (Sunday was his first game of over 50 rushing yards), he should be the preferred option in the backfield timeshare due to his heavy usage as a receiver (29 receptions for 252 yards). Swift and the Lions will face the Bengals next Sunday.
