Lions’ RB D’Andre Swift, listed as questionable for Sunday due to shoulder and ankle injuries, is expected to play vs. the Packers, but in a limited role, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.
Fantasy Impact: “Limited role” is never what fantasy managers want to hear about one of their players in any given week. In Week 8, Swift played 55% of the team’s offensive snaps, rushing five times for just six yards while catching all five of his targets for 27 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown salvaged his day, but that isn’t something fantasy managers can rely on, given what is projected to be a limited role in Week 9. Fellow RB Jamaal Williams played just 37% of the team’s offensive snaps in Week 8, but he doubled Swift’s carries with 10 and managed to get into the end zone twice. Williams also caught all three of his targets for 23 years. With both RBs active and expected to share the workload, it’s difficult to trust either one this week.
