D'Andre Swift vs Tyrone Tracy: Who Should You Start?
D'Andre Swift and Tyrone Tracy are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. D'Andre Swift averaged 13.2 PPG across 16 games with the Chicago Bears, while Tyrone Tracy posted 9.5 PPG in 15 appearances for the New York Giants.
A 3.7-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. D'Andre Swift ran for 1087 yards and 9 touchdowns; Tyrone Tracy posted 740 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 Tyrone Tracy Week 11. 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.
