Draft note

by John Paulsen

Swift averaged 17.1 touches (including 6.0 catches) in his first seven games with Jamaal Williams. That resulted in an RB1-level 16.6 fantasy points per game. He didn’t grade well as a runner and his advanced rushing stats aren’t that good, but his receiving workload is invaluable. He’s an Austin Ekeler type, only bigger, and the Lions’ offense should take a step forward with the return of T.J. Hockenson and the addition of Jameson Williams and D.J. Chark.

Lions offensive scheme continues to guarantee heavy usage for D'Andre Swift

yesterday · 11:19 AM EDT

Though the team seems to be system-agnostic when running their offense, the Lions have been highly gap-heavy this year and have focused on pushing the ball down the field through their running backs. Detroit is second in the league with their 372 yards on the ground and is eleventh in the league with 84 receiving yards to the RB position. D'Andre Swift (RB3) and Jamaal Williams (RB19) have performed as top-20 options at this point in the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Per the article, the Lions are first in yards per carry (7.15), third in explosive runs (seven), and also second in EPA per rush and rushing DVOA, Football Outsiders’ opponent-adjusted efficiency metric. What's scary for opposing defenses; they've accomplished all of this while dealing with a slew of offensive line injuries. They may just be getting started.

DET RB D'Andre Swift - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Minnesota Vikings

On paper, D'Andre Swift didn't wow anyone with his numbers against the Commanders. However, he was limited by an ankle injury, so considering that, getting 87 total yards and a touchdown on just seven touches is quite impressive. He looks to be getting better, so he could see closer to his normal workload against the Vikings, keeping him as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 option this week.
