The Bottom Line

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

D'Andre Swift has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.1-PPG advantage is real (13.2 to 11.1), and D'Andre Swift's 10 touchdowns show scoring upside. TreVeyon Henderson is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

D'Andre Swift vs TreVeyon Henderson: The Full Breakdown

Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. D'Andre Swift (Chicago Bears) finished the 2025 season averaging 13.2 fantasy points per game in 16 games. TreVeyon Henderson (New England Patriots) came in at 11.1 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

D'Andre Swift carries a 2.1-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; TreVeyon Henderson posted 911 and 9. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

D'Andre Swift has his bye in Week 10, and TreVeyon Henderson rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: D'Andre Swift (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. TreVeyon Henderson (age 23) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
