D'Andre Swift Start or sit, Week 5

This week's outlook

Swift carries no injury concerns into a tough Packers run defense. His workload has been inconsistent, ranging from a strong three-touchdown outing to a quiet 40-yard effort, so volume will be the key factor. At $6200, he's a flex option who needs consistent carries and receiving work to justify the price; a diminished role would hurt his outlook.
