2023 Fantasy Outlook
Swift's talent is well demonstrated, and the Eagles were willing to send the Lions a future fourth-round pick and a late-round pick swap to acquire the running back for the final season of his rookie contract. He had 2,878 total yards and 25 TDs in 40 games for the Lions, averaging 7.7 yards per catch and 4.6 per carry, but persistent injury troubles suggest he can't scale up the volume of his production. The Eagles don't need Swift to be a three-down workhorse, and if his fantasy price dips to a certain point then neither do his fantasy investors. Swift has been in and out of practice for years – basically ever since Georgia made him a starter in 2019 – and at this point it seems unlikely he'll ever hold up over more than 500 snaps or so in a season. As much as fantasy investors would like every snap for themselves, it might be in the best interests of both Swift and new teammate Rashaad Penny to split the workload. Swift just needs to hold off Kenneth Gainwell, which should be easy enough. Read Past Outlooks

Heading to Chicago
Swift and the Bears agreed to terms Monday on a three-year, $24 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the first major deal reported during the free-agent negotiating period and can't be made official until Wednesday afternoon. Swift figures to step in as the lead back for an offense with a new coordinator (Shane Waldron) and likely a new quarterback (Caleb Williams?), though he probably won't be a workhorse given that the Bears also have Khalil Herbert and 2023 fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson under contract. Herbert, in particular, is a threat to take a good chunk of the carries, as he's averaged 4.9 yards on 364 totes through three pro seasons. Herbert hasn't done much in the passing game -- 43 catches, 4.9 YPT -- and doesn't figure to get many chances there now that Swift is on the team.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be targeted by Texans
Swift is among the running backs on Houston's radar in the 2024 offseason, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
ANALYSIS
Swift rushed for a career-high 1,049 yards with the Eagles in 2023, and he's part of a robust free-agent running back class that also includes Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, Austin Ekeler, Tony Pollard and Houston's 2023 leading rusher Devin Singletary. Wilson mentions Swift, Barkley and Pollard as options that the Texans are interested in signing.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
The Lions' signing of Jamaal Williams last offseason created concerns new coach Dan
Campbell would use a committee backfield rather than giving Swift a chance to win a lead role,
and those concerns wound up being justified. The duo posted nearly identical numbers on the
ground, and Swift only saw more than 14 carries in a game once, when he handled a whopping
33 totes against the Steelers in Week 10. The second-year back was still productive, however,
thanks to steady usage as a receiver. Swift got at least five targets in nine consecutive games to
begin the season and caught at least four passes in eight straight, eventually creeping over
1,000 scrimmage yards despite missing four games with a shoulder injury. Durability has been
an issue for Swift for two straight seasons, so maybe a timeshare is the smart approach, and his
efficiency numbers as a runner were nothing special in 2021. His 1.5 yards after contact per
carry ranked 46th out of 50 running backs with triple-digit carries, although it should be noted
Williams ranked dead last in that category. Detroit didn't make any big changes to its offense
this winter and figures to struggle for wins again in 2022, so while Swift has far more upside,
Williams likely will remain involved to some extent.
