There's nothing like the late afternoon fantasy football window and an injury to stress out everyone setting their lineups.

That's what's happening with Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift.

Swift is officially questionable for Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders with a hip injury.

The game doesn't kick off until 4:25 p.m. ET (3:25 p.m. CT).

Is D'Andre Swift playing in fantasy Week 4?

D'Andre Swift is officially questionable, but the news seems good.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Swift is expected to play through his hip injury.

If Swift was a surprise inactive, his backup Kyle Monangai would see the most work and would be the easy late pickup to pivot in a lineup.

Swift so far has 42 carries for 149 yards and a touchdown and has been useful in PPR formats with nine catches for 63 yards.

He's likely no more than a FLEX play, but if you're planning to play him, it seems safe to keep him in your lineup.
