If D'Andre Swift proves he can be consistent, Campbell and offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn will use him like Sean Payton uses Alvin Kamara in New Orleans. All the way. He’s not there yet, though.

Swift turned 21 touches into 144 yards and a TD the story said. For those in dynasty leagues, Swift is among the top-three backs to have going forward and he really seems to be taking a step forward this year.

Washington Football Team WR Dyami Brown has an MRI today, but the belief is he has a minor knee injury.

Related players: Curtis Samuel, Adam Humphries, Cam Sims

Fantasy Impact:

Rapoport said there is no major structural issues, though he’ll likely miss next week’s game. After that is the bye, and he’ll be reassessed, according to the tweet. Of course, outside of Terry McLaurin the WFT is hurting at the WR position. Samuel can't get on the field because of a hamstring issue, leaving Humphries as the team's WR2. Sims has been struggling with a groin injury.

49ers 'would guess' QB Jimmy Garoppolo starts Week 8

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked if Jimmy Garoppolo would start again in Week 8 against the Bears.

“I would guess so,” Shanahan said, via Jennifer Lee Chan of NBCSportsBayArea.com. “I will watch this tape and see if guys are healthy, first of all, and know where our guys are at. It was good for Jimmy to get healthy enough to play in this game today.”

Fantasy Impact:

While it doesn't seem like a confident answer, the story did say Shanahan added that he didn’t see “a ton of bad decisions” from Garoppolo. But the story added there weren’t enough good things either and that will keep questions about the quarterback spot front and center for the 49ers. It could be an interesting decision when Lance is healthy enough to play.
