Bhayshul Tuten vs D'Andre Swift: Who Should You Start?
The numbers tell a clear story here. D'Andre Swift put up 13.2 fantasy points per game for the Chicago Bears in 2025, while Bhayshul Tuten managed 5.6 across 15 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars. A 7.6-point weekly edge is substantial at the running back position.
A 7.6-PPG gap gives D'Andre Swift the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Bhayshul Tuten ran for 307 yards and 5 touchdowns; D'Andre Swift posted 1087 and 9. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Bhayshul Tuten sits Week 12 while D'Andre Swift is off Week 7. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
