According to Lions’ running backs coach Duce Staley, D’Andre Swift is expected to play without any limitations in Sunday’s season-opening game against the 49ers.
Fantasy Impact: When asked directly about Swift’s workload on Sunday, Staley replied with, “I’m very bad at counting reps. We can count the reps on Monday.” This is fantastic news for those who drafted Swift at a discount heading into the season. While a matchup against the 49ers now-healthy front seven is less than ideal, Swift’s role and ability as a pass catcher should certainly help him put up RB2 numbers at the very least. Fantasy managers should make sure Swift is in their lineups come Week 1.
