D'Andre Swift
vs DJ Moore

“Among 43 qualifying backs, Swift is eighth in yards after contact per attempt and tenth in missed tackle rate. Swift has 14 of the team’s 20 running back red zone carries while playing 64.1% of the snaps with a 51.4% rushing share, a 35.7% route share, and a 9.2% target share. Swift should have another strong stat line this week against a Jets’ run defense that has allowed the second-highest rushing success rate, the tenth-most yards before contact per attempt, and the third-highest missed tackle rate.”

“Still, Swift’s ECR ranking of RB13 is a bit too rich for me. He’s a fine back and as consistent as they come, but Swift has never finished that high positionally in his six NFL seasons.”

“Swift had the better role and scored 17.7 half-PPR points per game with 17.75 expected half-PPR points per game, per the Fantasy Points Data Suite 2.0. Monangai averaged 9.77 half-PPR points per game and 7.29 expected half-PPR points per game. According to Jahnke, Swift had a 61.1% snap share versus 38.9% for Monangai over the first six drives, but Swift lost a fumble on the sixth drive.”

“Among 43 qualifying backs, Swift ranks sixth in yards after contact per attempt and eighth in missed tackle rate. Swift should have success again this week. Philly has allowed the ninth-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-most yards after contact per attempt, and the fifth-highest missed tackle rate.”

““ D’Andre Swift’s fantasy outlook is usually pretty rosy with the potent Bears’ offense and a weaker defensive opponent, but not this week. The injuries to Caleb Williams and backup Tyson Bagent have put a dark cloud over the Windy City. Chicago might have to go with veteran Case Keenum against a stout Eagles’ defense, led by their star linemen Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter .”

“D’Andre Swift has one of the largest deltas (12%) in his TPRR and his True Target Rate (factoring in pass blocks).”

“D’Andre Swift ran for 124 yards and three touchdowns on 18 carries, splitting time in the backfield with Kyle Monangai , who had a great day in his own respects (10 carries for 100 yards and a score). Swift was able to find gaping holes all afternoon against Carolina, with head coach Ben Johnson dialing up plays to utilize his quickness in space. Look for this trend to continue as long as he stays healthy this season.”

“D’Andre Swift will be our RB1 with Jeremiyah Love possibly on the shelf for at least the first week. Swift cleared 1,000 yards last season while being part of a committee.”

“D’Andre Swift may share Chicago’s backfield with Kyle Monangai , but the Bears should field one of the league’s better offenses under head coach and accomplished running-game designer Ben Johnson .”

“In those two games, Moore has had ELITE usage and production with a 30.9% target share, 3.55 YPRR, two red zone targets, four deep targets, 0.170 FD/RR, and a 33.3% first-read share. I’m mentioning Moore here because this week he possibly gets a shadow from Christian Gonzalez , but in most weeks he is a set-and-forget must-start. This season, Christian Gonzalez has followed DK Metcalf , Jaxson Smith-Njigba, and Brian Thomas following them on 50-86.4% of their routes.”

“DJ Moore posted a 15.3% TPRR in 2025 while playing in a crowded Bears receiving corps. His Buffalo debut posted a casual 33.3% TPRR on 24 routes. What stands out to me is that this was on the road against the vaunted Houston defense.”

“It’s a logical move: DJ Moore is a bonafide WR1 and is particularly good at both running precise routes at the start of a play and finding an opening for his QB when a play breaks down.”

“DJ Moore (WR – BUF) DJ Moore already finished as a WR1 earlier in his career, back in 2023, when his 96/1,364/8 resulted in a WR6 finish.”

“DJ Moore (WR – BUF) Buffalo’s offense enters 2026 with one of the clearest target vacuums in the league. With Stefon Diggs leaving three years ago and no true alpha wide receiver on the roster, the Bills needed a reliable veteran who could immediately step into a featured role. After shaking off a brief lower‑body scare early in camp, DJ Moore returned to full participation and instantly clicked with Josh Allen .”

“DJ Moore (WR – BUF) 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.”

“Moore could have similar success with Allen under center.”

“The addition of DJ Moore will certainly hurt Khalil Shakir’s stock, but in a half-PPR league, he’ll have some value.”

“However, I’m imploring you to go after the market share of the receiving work in PPR formats, because DJ Moore is an extremely cheap bellcow WR.”

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

“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.”
