The fantasy playoffs are here and let's help you with some of your difficult but key matchup

decisions for this week.

We're not going to be talking about the obvious starters in your lineup.

We're talking about those final one or two guys that have to get in there that could

determine your chances in the playoffs.

And I think a great place to start is with DeAndre Swift this week who look, these last

few weeks have been concerning for DeAndre Swift, and we warned you about this last week. We mentioned in multiple different pieces of content on this YouTube channel over with our work

on Yahoo, that DeAndre Swift was in the sketchy spot of the week against Dallas, a top five

run defense. And you can see what he did in that matchup, just 11 carries for 39 yards. This was

the second straight blowout that he was in, and that ended up meaning that he lost some usage.

As you can see over these last two games, he's only played, according to Fantasy Life, our official data partner,

46% of the snaps in total and less than 50% of the rush attempts.

Who has been seeing more usage?

Well, if we were to scroll here, you would see that Kenneth Gamwell has seen a little bit more usage. Majority of the snaps in week 13 and 44% of the snaps,

much more than he's seen the last few months, in week 14.

But of course, this is skewed due to the blowout usage.

And in week 13, the Andre Swift left in the fourth quarter after taking a pretty hard hit.

The good news is that this week, the Eagles are four-point favorites. In a really winnable matchup in a game that should stay much closer than the previous two

against the 49ers and the Cowboys, this is going to be a matchup against the Seahawks, who

do have a struggling defense and also struggle against opposing running backs.

And all of this is important because Swift averages 64% of the snaps and over 13 fantasy

points in closer games.
