D'Andre Swift Injury Update: Will He Play Week 4 vs. Raiders?

Fantasy football managers are holding their breath! Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is officially listed as questionable for the Week 4 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a hip injury. The late afternoon kickoff adds extra stress as lineup decisions loom.

Swift's Status: Good News?

Despite the questionable tag, the latest reports suggest that Swift is likely to play. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that Swift is expected to play through the hip injury. This is welcome news for fantasy owners who were counting on him.

Through three games, Swift has been a significant part of the Bears' offense, playing 66.5% of the offensive snaps. He has 42 carries for 149 yards and one touchdown, averaging 3.5 yards per carry. He's also been a factor in the passing game with nine receptions for 63 yards.

Fantasy Football Impact

While Swift hasn't been a dominant force, he's been a reliable FLEX option in PPR formats. If he were unexpectedly ruled out, backup Kyle Monangai would likely see the bulk of the carries and become a valuable late pickup.

Even with the injury, Swift is expected to lead the Bears' backfield in touches against the Raiders. However, his snap count has decreased in recent weeks, suggesting a possible decline in usage.

Betting Odds and Prop Bets

Some sportsbooks are offering prop bets on Swift's performance. One popular bet is D'Andre Swift UNDER 48.5 Rushing Yards. While he's had a decent workload, the Raiders' strong run defense could make it difficult for him to reach that mark. Keep an eye on the latest odds and consider the factors before placing your bets.
