D'Andre Swift vs Trey Benson: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between D'Andre Swift and Trey Benson is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Chicago Bears running back put up 13.2 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Trey Benson of the Arizona Cardinals averaged 7.2 in 4. A 6.0-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 6.0 points favors D'Andre Swift, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. D'Andre Swift ran for 1087 yards and 9 touchdowns; Trey Benson posted 160 and undefined. 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: D'Andre Swift sits Week 10 while Trey Benson is off Week 14. 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

D'Andre Swift is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Trey Benson is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: D'Andre Swift (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Trey Benson (age 23) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
