Who Should I Start? D'Andre Swift or Zamir White

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift will be taking over the team's lead running back in 2024 after he signed with the team minutes into the start of free agency in early March. "He's exciting to watch, man. That guy, he's got so much ability. He's fast, he can make guys miss and what we're excited about now is just opening up the passing game with the backs. He's got that opportunity to have that one-on-one matchup out of the backfield. We can get him out on empty (formation). We do a lot of empty stuff here, too, so we can move this guy all around. He can win from any spot," RBs coach Chad Morton said. When Morton coached in Seattle in 2023, Kenneth Walker III had 219 carries for 905 yards, with Zach Charbonnet carrying the ball 108 times for 462 yards. Swift is surely intriguing as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, but he's inevitably going to lose touches to Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson, and the Bears also have plenty of receivers that will command targets.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White got the start again and handled another huge workload in Week 18 against the Denver Broncos. White had 25 carries for 112 yards on the ground. The Raiders running back around brought in one of his two targets for nine yards in this contest. White finished his season strong and made a great case to be the team's starting running back if Josh Jacobs departs in the offseason. White and the Raiders have been eliminated from the playoffs, so their season has ended. Fantasy managers and Raiders fans will be interested to see what transpires before the beginning of next season for this team that cleared house in the middle of the season.
