Swift had always shown flashes of elite talent while in Detroit, but a lack of toughness and reliability caused the Lions to ship him off to Philly. By most accounts it was a great move for Swift as he set career highs in games played (16), carries (229), and rushing yards (1,049). The lack of scoring (6 total touchdowns) and career low 39 receptions really capped his upside. A scuffling mid-season stretch kept him as a low end RB2, but Swift parlayed his 2023 season into a lucrative multi-year deal with a loaded Chicago offense. Swift gives the Bears a dynamic threat on the ground and in the air, and with the sheer number of weapons in the passing game, he should rarely see stacked boxes. His 8-million a year (14-million guaranteed) contract means the Bears see him as an RB1, and with talented, but flawed incumbents Khalil Herbert, and Roschon Johnson behind him, look for new coordinator Shane Waldon to use Swift much like he did with Kenneth Walker in Seattle. Walker's 13 carries inside the 5 were tied for the 8th most in the NFL, and with Swift not having to contend with Jalen Hurts or Justin Fields stealing scores, should have a chance to approach double digit touchdowns if he holds down his role at the goal line. Even with baked-in injury risk, I think Swift could be a sneaky RB2 value.
