Bears sign RB D’Andre Swift to three-year extension

Sep 11, 2026

Sources: RB D’Andre Swift and the Chicago Bears have reached agreeement on a 3-year, $33.75 million extension that includes $27.5M guaranteed. This is now Swift’s third NFL contract. Trevon Smith and David Mulugheta of Athletes First and the Bears just wrapped up the deal with the regular season’s start looming.

Related Players: Kyle Monangai, Roschon Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

The extension does not alter Swift’s immediate outlook, but the guaranteed money reinforces his position atop Chicago’s backfield beyond 2026. Monangai can still earn a complementary role, though the deal creates a considerably higher long-term obstacle to his emergence as the Bears’ lead back.

Saints HC Kellen Moore: Alvin Kamara “ready to go” for Week 1

Saints

0 minutes ago

Alvin Kamara is officially questionable for Sunday’s opener against Detroit, but he progressed from limited practices Wednesday and Thursday to full participation Friday. Moore subsequently described the veteran running back as “ready to go.”

Related Players: Travis Etienne, Kendre Miller, Audric Estime

Fantasy Impact:

Kamara’s full practice suggests he will play, but his long layoff and uncertain initial workload make him extremely difficult to trust in Week 1 lineups. Etienne is still the clear option in the Saints backfield until proven otherwise.

Dan Quinn said every player on Washington’s 53-man roster has been cleared to face Philadelphia. That includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who was limited Wednesday and Thursday with a groin injury.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Kaytron Allen, Jerome Ford

Fantasy Impact:

Croskey-Merritt is available as a Week 1 Flex, although Quinn said the Commanders still need to discuss possible workload limitations for players returning from injuries. The close rankings between Croskey-Merritt and White reflect the uncertainty surrounding Washington’s initial backfield split.

Jeremiyah Love is expected to make his NFL debut against the Chargers after practicing on a limited basis this week. He has been recovering from the high-ankle sprain he suffered during the preseason.

Related Players: Tyler Allgeier, Zonovan Knight

Fantasy Impact:

Love can return to fantasy lineups as an RB2/Flex, but Arizona may manage his workload coming off the ankle injury. Allgeier remains likely to handle a meaningful share of the backfield work and was listed first on the team’s unofficial depth chart.
