  "account": "Chicago Bears running back D Andre Swift had a remarkable season in 2025, setting career-highs in rushing yards (1,087) and touchdowns (9) while averaging 4.9 yards per carry in a top-tier rushing offense. Recently, NFL.com released a list of seven players believed to be the safest to draft in fantasy football after the third round, and Swift made the cut with an average draft position (ADP) of fifth round. The article highlights Swift's consistency, as he has never finished outside the RB15-21 range despite playing for three different teams. While some may target other Bears RB Kyle Monangai for more work, Swift complements the team well and is expected to remain a reliable starter. Drafting Swift in the fifth round may be a stretch, as his ADP is 49.3, which would typically place him in the seventh round in eight-team leagues. Managers may also want to consider the potential decrease in Swift's receiving stats due to the Bears' strong receiving options, but his overall value remains high.",
