Swift has been one of the most impactful dual threat backs in the NFL when healthy; unfortunately, that hasn't been nearly enough for a Lions offense that's been light on threats. In his first two pro seasons Swift has piled up a massive 135 receptions and nearly 2,000 total yards. Tack on his 17 total touchdowns, and you can see why fantasy owners have been devilishly teased over the past two years.
In addition to missing 7 games, he's left a few early, and missed a multitude of practice reps, often taking his availability down to the end of week. As a result, Swift has actually started only a handful of games in his first two seasons. Despite the obvious talent, the health conundrum is a major consideration if you are looking to invest in Swift. Even his running backs coach Duce Staley has pointed out the need for Swift to stay on the field. With unproven receivers, and a check-down champion quarterback, Swift should remain a big part of the passing game with an 80-target floor. If he can stay out of the training room, and hold off teammate Jamaal Williams for snaps, he has the talent to enter the standard league RB1 conversation in addition to being a PPR darling.
