Is D'Andre Swift playing today? Latest news, fantasy outlook for Bears RB after late-week update

Contributing Writer

The D'Andre Swift availability trends in the lead-in to Week 10 were a bit bumpy.

The Chicago Bears RB was initially battling a groin injury. And then on Friday, he was away from the Bears for personal reasons.

That made it seem like two different reasons that Swift could miss Sunday's game against the Giants.

Then there's the matter of Kyle Monangai's presence, which complicates matters in fantasy football.

Is D'Andre Swift playing today?

First thing's first: Swift is expected to play in Week 10 against the Giants.

ESPN's Adam Schefter used those exact words, "expected to play," when he put out the update late Saturday night.

What's less certain is Swift's role.

UPDATE: Swift is officially ACTIVE.

Between the injury, the personal absence, and Monangai, this is a tough call.

Swift is still likely a fantasy starter as a FLEX, at least, especially in PPR leagues.

But if you've got a couple RB options that feel safer, nobody would blame you for sitting Swift. This isn't an easy situation to read.
