The Swift call here really sets up nicely for one of my favorite GPP stacks this week as I plan to pair Joe Burrow with some of his pass-catchers and bring it back with D'Andre. Listen, this price is a bit goofy considering the fact that Swift is averaging 18.2 DK points per game and leads the NFL right now in "high-value touches" which means he has more receptions + touches inside the opponents' ten-yard line than any other back in the league - including Austin Ekeler!
Swift's talent and opportunity here is something I am buying in a big way. As my fellow RB analyst Kev Mahserejian put it, the Lions have figured out exactly how to feature Swift's skillset in the most efficient way by getting him the ball in space as a pass catcher and then letting Jamaal Williams soak up a lot of the between the tackles running work. Swift isn't getting the same volume as workhorse backs, but the quality of his touches is what's most important here and this is a matchup he should be able to exploit against a middling Bengals defense.
