Lions RB D'Andre Swift, WR Amon-Ra St. Brown 'better'

Lions coach Dan Campbell says they'll give a number of guys rest today. They're still day-to-day with D'Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown, but Campbell says they're "better."

Related players: Jamaal Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Both players didn't suit up in Week 4. Swift was projected to miss "some" time so his return for Week 5 isn't a lock. Williams remains a nice play if Swift is out in Week 5. St. Brown's ankle injury wasn't considered serious so the hope is the team was being cautious with him in Week 4 and he'll have a better shot to be back for Week 5.

Frank Ragnow, Jonah Jackson, T.J. Hockenson, Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), D'Andre Swift (shoulder) among the long list of players who won't practice today.

Related players: Jamaal Williams

Fantasy Impact:

St. Brown and Swift are "day to day" the tweet went on say. But reports have said Swift is likely going to miss time, possibly two weeks leading up to the team's Week 6 bye. Williams would be a solid fantasy option at running back with Swift possibly out. St. Brown doesn't appear to have a serious injury but isn't a lock for Week 4 yet, but seems to have a better chance to go than Swift. Both players would probably need to log practice time to have a chance in Week 4.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift expected to miss "some" time

D'Andre Swift suffered a shoulder sprain during Sunday's game against the Vikings but is not expected to require surgery.

Related Players: Jamaal Williams, Craig Reynolds

Fantasy Impact:

Considering how the Lions choose to divvy the workload between the backfield (Swift 32 snaps, Williams 35, Reynolds 13), it appears that they were heading into the game with their RB1 on a snap count due to an ankle issue. Instead of simply resting him and allowing Williams more run, they now have an even bigger issue on their hands. With the offensive scheme and an above-average offensive line, Jamaal Williams can instantly be considered a borderline RB1 option in fantasy.

Lions offensive scheme continues to guarantee heavy usage for D'Andre Swift

Though the team seems to be system-agnostic when running their offense, the Lions have been highly gap-heavy this year and have focused on pushing the ball down the field through their running backs. Detroit is second in the league with their 372 yards on the ground and is eleventh in the league with 84 receiving yards to the RB position. D'Andre Swift (RB3) and Jamaal Williams (RB19) have performed as top-20 options at this point in the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Per the article, the Lions are first in yards per carry (7.15), third in explosive runs (seven), and also second in EPA per rush and rushing DVOA, Football Outsiders’ opponent-adjusted efficiency metric. What's scary for opposing defenses; they've accomplished all of this while dealing with a slew of offensive line injuries. They may just be getting started.
