The Bottom Line

D'Andre Swift is the better fantasy play this season.

D'Andre Swift is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 13.2 PPG and 1,386 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Bhayshul Tuten (5.6 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster D'Andre Swift as the starter and Bhayshul Tuten as depth.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Fantasy Tiers

Bhayshul Tuten: Tier 5 (Deep League) RB (ranked #58 at the position). D'Andre Swift: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #16 at the position). Among the top 50 running backs this season, Bhayshul Tuten is producing at 25% of elite pace and D'Andre Swift at 60%. That ranking gap means D'Andre Swift carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Bhayshul Tuten vs D'Andre Swift: The Full Breakdown

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 7 while D'Andre Swift is off Week 10. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire D'Andre Swift at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Bhayshul Tuten is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Bhayshul Tuten (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. D'Andre Swift (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
