Summary

Host Ian Hartitz breaks down D'Andre Swift's fantasy outlook ahead of the 2021 season. The rising second-year back was largely great as a rookie, particularly as a receiver if you excuse his infamous Week 1 drop against the Bears. The potential problem entering 2021 is the emergence of Jamaal Williams, although Ian cautions in putting too much stock in this rather random piece of coach speak. Ultimately, Swift projects to be the leading receiver out of this backfield, which is a role that in recent history has been awfully fantasy friendly for OC Anthony Lynn's lead back. Ian wraps up the episode with Swift's 2021 ranking and a look at his overall ceiling.

like to thank, I have a good grasp.

0:52.2

So good stuff there.

0:53.5

But yeah, and so this one we're going to focus more on Swift's Fancy Football goodness.

0:57.7

Now I'm well aware that PFF, my lovely employer, who I thank very much for paying my bills,

1:04.6

published a running back rankings article that was not in fancy, deemed towards real life,

1:09.3

that unfortunately left off Swift and Cam Acres.

1:12.6

You know, I don't agree with those rankings.
