Swift handled 17 carries for 53 yards in Week 1 against the Vikings, leaving coaches weighing a bigger role for him with Monangai and Roschon Johnson in the rotation. His involvement shapes Chicago's ceiling in a crowded backfield and could swing carry distribution early in Week 2 versus Detroit.

Swift joined Chicago amid expectations, posting a modest 3.1 yards per carry in Week 1 with three catches. The Bears need efficiency from Swift as they face Detroit’s stout defense, but his pass-catching ability keeps him in the FLEX mix in many leagues.

Swift possessed a strong Week 1 role but may face reduced volume if Roschon Johnson returns; Detroit’s defense is tough and the run game remains a split with Johnson back.

Swift’s 12-yard catch on a Bears drive that started late in the game signals a viable receiving role in a pass-friendly script. This could establish a solid PPR floor if the offense leans on check-downs and swing passes, though volume depends on game flow and the play-caller rhythm shifting in Week 2.

Swift’s brief appearance in Week 1 shows the need to minimize wasted yards and maximize bursts north-south. Chicago aims to steal yards in the run game and keep Lions from exploiting gaps, turning Swift into a key variable in Chicago’s game plan.
