D'Andre Swift Showcases Receiving Skills
2 years agoDetroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift showcased his receiving skills at mandatory minicamp last week, and he looks stronger this year but hasn't lost any of his shiftiness. Swift is extremely smooth as a pass-catcher and is a matchup nightmare for the defense when he's in space in the passing attack. The 23-year-old was leading all running backs last year in catches last year before missing five games late last season with a shoulder injury. With the Lions being improved on the outside at wide receiver, it should open things up even more for Swift and tight end T.J. Hockenson to get favorable one-on-one matchups in the middle of the field. Swift should once again be a big part of the passing game in 2022, giving him clear RB1 upside, especially in PPR leagues.
