D'Andre Swift vs DJ Moore

“D’Andre Swift is arguably the safest running back to take in the dead zone. For his entire career, Swift has always found a way to finish as an RB2 in fantasy scoring.”

“D'Andre Swift is a favorite draft target in the fifth round based on ADP.”

“The Bears have a two-man backfield, with RBs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai sharing work. But it's worth leaning into the Chicago backfield because the Bears should have one of the better offenses in the league, and Bears head coach Ben Johnson is one of the best running-game designers in the league. I would rather have D'Andre Swift than Quinshon Judkins, even though Judkins is expected to have more touches.”

“Going into this season, Swift is going to be the 1A in a duo with second-year back Kyle Monangai, as the team didn't draft any running backs nor sign anyone in free agency, leaving Swift and Monangai with the backfield all to themselves.”

“Swift racked up a career-high 1,087 yards on the ground and scored 10 total touchdowns, and with 34 receptions for 299 yards, averaged 14.3 fantasy points per game, good for RB16.”

“If that happens, Swift could easily be a top-18 running back for fantasy.”

“Swift was the preferred option around the goal line, and it becomes quite hard not to be interested in him at his current cost of RB25, going around pick 60.”

“Swift had a higher explosive run rate (5.4% vs. 4.1%), a better missed tackles forced rate (0.17 vs. 0.10), generated more yards before contact and was the better receiving back.”

“Swift's efficiency numbers bounced back after a horrible 2024 season, ranking 13th in explosive run rate, 11th in rushing success rate, and 20th in missed tackle rate, and should be a mid-range RB2 again this season.”

“D'Andre Swift arguably had a career year last season for the Bears as the RB16 in fantasy points per game, finishing with 257 touches and 1,386 total yards while splitting work with Kyle Monangai.”

“David Montgomery and D'Andre Swift are clean examples because they sit back to back in ADP, with Montgomery at 5.5 and Swift at 5.6 (as of June 3rd). Or do you need Swift's receiving profile and a different ceiling bet if the Bears take their offense to the moon?”

“Yes, he's getting a little older, but those numbers belong to a running back who still has real juice, not one that's falling off a cliff. The Bears' offense is ascending, and Swift is right in the middle of it.”

“However, the Bills seem positive their offense will take a step forward this year with the addition of DJ Moore under new head coach Joe Brady.”

“Moore has a new home for 2026 and beyond after being traded to Buffalo as Josh Allen ‘s new WR1.”

“Going as the WR27 in PPR leagues, DJ Moore lands on a Buffalo Bills team that desperately needed a go-to option.”

“Obviously, it wasn’t a great season in 2025 for DJ Moore. Despite popping up for some big plays, he is coming off career lows in receptions and receiving yards.”

“After years of dealing with subpar quarterbacks, Moore gets to play with Josh Allen in 2026. Yet, he has been productive, averaging 14 or more PPR fantasy points per game in five of seven seasons since his rookie year despite never being an elite touchdown scorer.”

“DJ Moore will finish the season as a WR1. Coming off the worst season of his career (50 REC, 682 YDS, 6 TDs, WR35 in Half PPR), Moore was traded from the Bears to the Bills. He is now catching passes from arguably the best QB in the league, Josh Allen.”

“Both Brown and Erickson believe playing with Josh Allen creates a dramatically different fantasy outlook than Moore has experienced previously. Brown also argued that Buffalo didn't acquire Moore simply to make him another complementary piece. The expectation is that Moore becomes a featured receiver within the offense.”

“Despite disappointing production, Brown noted Moore continued creating separation and winning routes at a strong rate. Those indicators suggest the talent remains intact, even if the fantasy numbers didn't reflect it.”

“Moore is being drafted as the WR22, but fantasy has always priced him as if he were about to be more than he usually is; his career has mostly lived in that WR2 range: WR22, WR20, WR22, WR18, WR17. The outlier was the 2023 eruption, and that season is doing a lot of emotional heavy lifting in his current price.”

“DJ Moore is the favorite to lead the team in targets after Buffalo sent a second-round pick to Chicago to acquire him this offseason, and if his ADP sticks around the round 5-6 turn, it will be hard to turn down his potential targets from Josh Allen in 2026.”

“Moore averaged a solid 135 targets per season and 27% target share from 2019-2024, and his reunion with Joe Brady gives him the potential to regain a 25%+ target share, which would equate to 125-150 Josh Allen targets.”

“The Bears shipped D.J. Moore out of Chicago to Buffalo just before the start of free agency. Moore is now set to play with the best quarterback talent of his career in Josh Allen. Entering his age-29 season and coming off a down year, Moore has bust potential. However, he is still a player I'd be eager to take at his current ADP with him set as the WR1 in an Allen-led offense.”
