D'Andre Swift vs Devin Neal: Who Should You Start?

There is a real production gap between these two running backs. D'Andre Swift (Chicago Bears) averaged 13.2 PPG over 16 games in 2025, outscoring Devin Neal (New Orleans Saints, 5.2 PPG) by 8.0 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.

D'Andre Swift carries a 8.0-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. D'Andre Swift ran for 1087 yards and 9 touchdowns; Devin Neal posted 206 and 2. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

One scheduling note: D'Andre Swift is off Week 7 and Devin Neal Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
