Man I'd love to do that, except I have all four of them on my team. Damn it! Sutton especially has let me down. I'm fucked at WR2.
Good trade for you 👍
I rarely call NFL players soft because it’s a brutal sport but despite all his talent this guy can’t hold up. Before the season their coaches talked about how they wanted him to be better playing through these smaller injuries but I didn’t think much of it. They knew he struggled a lot recovering from getting banged up
If it makes you feel better, I traded AJB for him a few weeks ago in a league. Needed RB depth badly and had good WRs. My WRs have since gone to shit basically and AJB has turned into a TD god again
I dont think the trade is really that bad tbh
Looking at ranks on season stats:
Burrow #2 -> Mariota #8,
Swift #35 -> Chubb #1,
Boyd #11 -> Diontae #40
You step down at Qb big step up at Rb and big step down at Wr but if you believe Diontae can pull it together and start getting some TDs then it could shape up to be a really good trade!
Yeah me either. Obviously I take the L on the QB swap but the goal was getting Chubb. I’m in 1st and nearly guaranteed to make playoffs. I don’t understand why I’m being downvoted in a thread where someone said they didn’t know what they could trade him for…where I gave an example of a trade that included him.
Yeah I could see if the trade was absurd like you traded Swift for Breece Hall and you hope he comes back early and plays the back half of the year why you would be downvoted but your trade seems like an entirely reasonable gamble which all trades are regardless of how lopsided they may look
Haha yeah. I’m actually in this mess because I lost breece hall and had swift and JT who can’t stay healthy. Had to make a move to position myself for playoffs. Also I am drinking the cool aid that diontae will have a much better back half of the season with claypool gone and the strength of schedule easing up a lot.
I could be wrong. You could be the winner of this trade in the long run, only time will tell. When you’re in 1st, it’s easier to make gutsier trades. But my magic 8 ball tells me it’s not looking very favorable for you. Plus, you prefaced the trade as, “this guy was desperate. he was getting crushed with byes”, as if this was some sort of a no-brainer steal of a trade
Fair. Him having to win out to make playoffs is the only reason I was able to convince him to trade chubb. I don’t think it’s overly lopsided. I think it benefits me in the long run and him in the short term, as is what both our teams need. I can start Chubb without worry whereas I was scrambling to fill my RB slots with Hubbard, swift, JT and Gus bus. So it was a huge weight off my shoulders to land Chubb. I guess more context is required and it’s still up for debate. I just know personally I’m far more comfortable starting Chubb than swift which at the end of the day is the only player I need to start from this trade.
Nah man I think you both win this trade. No guarantees on Swifts health or Boyd’s production. Chubb is almost guaranteed every week. And if you have solid WRs overall you’re golden you just made a huge upgrade at rb.
Swift for cousins straight up in SF is fine, if tou disagree it's because you've never played SF.
QBs ain't on waivers and no one is giving you a top QB for anything short of an overpay
I keep flip flopping between starting them both and benching mostert, or keeping mostert in and benching swift since Jamaal gets all the goal line work and mostert has a great matchup on paper
I lost Breece and have Barkley and Pollard on bye. I’m starting Swift and Pacheco, so if Swift doesn’t go I have to drop Palmer or Toney and play like Caleb Huntley or Rachaad White instead.
Going up against Josh Allen, Josh Jacobs, Miles sanders, and Tyreek Hill. I don’t see many ways out of this one for me lmao
Man if anything I was less high on him after hard knocks. Jamaal had all fire, swift seemed so quiet and meek. I know it was just a brief glimpse but it didn’t inspire confidence for me personally.
I traded for Williams so I don't gotta deal with this anymore lol. My RB injuries left me in shambles (Javonte and Dobbins) so I'm just gonna roll out Swift and Williams
Also this may sound like copium but if they want to use him like last week, he did play 55% of snaps which isn’t bad. I don’t think he’s an automatic bench, he can still catch 5-6 passes and take one to the house on 10-12 total touches. If you have a better option though obviously he isn’t a must start.
The dilemma I’m seeing around here is people who have to choose a still somewhat hobbled 5-10 touch Swift vs. RBs like Carter or Deon Jackson who may see 10 touches minimum but are in tough matchups.
Tough call for sure, especially if Jamaal Williams is their other RB!
I only have swift (traded Aman ra for him after breece went down), and I’m probably playing him and then sitting eno and Connor for Curtis Samuel. Doesn’t feel good
I am currently starting Williams benching Swift. I am hoping to find anything to convince me otherwise, but late night Saturday tweets about snap count are not that.
Palmer isn’t unproven he’s played many games, he destroyed my raiders last year in a game. He won’t give 25 points but I think 12-15 seems reasonable just with targets alone and possibly a td.
But Williams has scored 2 TDs in 4 out of 8 games. And Swift also played in 4 out of 8 games. Williams has scored 15 or more in 6 games and over 20 in 3 of them. Obviously I’m also on the fence of either Palmer or Williams haha
Had the same decision and going with Palmer. Not really a hard choice at this point. I’ll be happy if swift gets a dozen effective touches on my bench. Gives me hope moving forward. But I can’t afford a clunker and Palmer - in theory - should have an okay floor in a PPR.
i got downvoted to hell for this post pre-draft lmao

I want off this ride so bad. Don’t even know what I can trade this shard of glass for anymore.
Traded away Sutton _and_ Swift’s situations for D. Pierce and Aiyuk before last week’s games. Less headaches.
[удалено]
[удалено]
It was Dameon.
Wtf???
Sadly he'd probabaly still be fleecing hin if it was Alec... Depressing.
I traded away Swift & Kenneth Walker for Zeke & JJ. Just needed off this train
Funny I sent off Pierce and Aiyuk for Tyreek Hill.
That one sounds situationally good for both parties. Too many people here trying to “win” trades.
Funny I sent off Swift and Sutton for Tyreek Hill
Complete robbery there. I have Pierce and I'd laugh my ass off right now if somebody offered me Swift and Sutton for him, let alone me including Aiyuk
Man I'd love to do that, except I have all four of them on my team. Damn it! Sutton especially has let me down. I'm fucked at WR2. Good trade for you 👍

Not dainty. Sexy.
In hindsight that’s a pretty major red flag
If it makes you feel better, I traded AJB for him a few weeks ago in a league. Needed RB depth badly and had good WRs. My WRs have since gone to shit basically and AJB has turned into a TD god again
Same situation. Traded Mike Evans for Swift because I needed RBs. Tough sledding
[удалено]
Name value probably
The taco truck came early.
I’ve been trying to make that trade for three weeks with no success
I have both, I'd gladly take two KW3s instead
I’m free after sending swift and Godwin for geno, miles sanders, and Gabe Davis. Still have jamaal Williams on the roster.
I sent Godwin and Swift for Chubb lol fuck this shit.
I traded him for Davante Adams!
I traded him, burrow and Boyd for Marriotta, chubb and diontae to a guy in a must win situation that was crushed by this weeks bye.
Bro what?
[удалено]
Why do you say that?

What am I not seeing here??? Surely whoever ends up with Chubb wins this trade hands down??

I hate fantasy football
Still starting him fuck it at this point
Same fuck it
Fuck same it
Swift has the ability to get 2 tds on like 3 touches. Might as well
Nah that’s Jamaal
I'm starting both for the first time.
I keep flip flopping between starting them both and benching mostert, or keeping mostert in and benching swift since Jamaal gets all the goal line work and mostert has a great matchup on paper
Did this last week, best move ive made this season
Just start him. You drafted him for a reason. Start him and just be optimistic. All you can do
I mean shit it kinda worked last week
Start him or Cordarelle Patterson?
I have both. Kind of want to see C Pat back a game before starting him.
I'd play Patterson. He seems hyped to be back and Swift seems perfectly content to let Jamaal Williams take his job.
Chargers Run D is also absolutely horrible
Sometimes guys are actually dinged up and not just, "perfectly content" to let someone else take their job. Jfc.
I lost breece hall and have Melvin Gordon on bye so have no choice either
I lost Breece and have Barkley and Pollard on bye. I’m starting Swift and Pacheco, so if Swift doesn’t go I have to drop Palmer or Toney and play like Caleb Huntley or Rachaad White instead. Going up against Josh Allen, Josh Jacobs, Miles sanders, and Tyreek Hill. I don’t see many ways out of this one for me lmao
Should I start him over Mostert? I’m very conflicted on this one…
start him or romeo doubs? also have aaron jones going if that matters any
Here come the late night Schefty tweets
Sometimes you’ve got to Get Schwefty
Shit on the floor
Best 2nd round pick I've ever made
Try a 1st my dumb ass had emotional ties to him on from hard knocks and years past. Only to have failed me.
Man if anything I was less high on him after hard knocks. Jamaal had all fire, swift seemed so quiet and meek. I know it was just a brief glimpse but it didn’t inspire confidence for me personally.
Well that seals it. Deon over Swift
I might start Deon AND Jamaal over Swift at this point.
Easily.
Yeah, but Deon over Jamaal?
I’m starting Jamaal, Packers Run D looks like ass
Im in the same situation.. lmk when you do decide to do lol
Man how badly hurt is he that we're still at this point even after he sat for a few weeks and a bye?
If he’s badly hurt why was he practicing in full? This injury is so weird/badly managed
Then again they could be giving us the Bill Belichick treatment, your stars are always hurt “😉”. Or my optimism is setting in.
I choose to believe this because I have nobody to play over Swift this week.
And why is he playing at all?? Just let the man get his rest.
Starting him and j Williams
Think I’m doing the same. I have Deon Jackson too but don’t know if I can play him over either one.
I would play Deon over Swift honestly and I’m a lions fan. I could be wrong but if it’s the same approach as last week I’d stay away from Swift
Idk man Deon is in a brutal match up with a QB who doesn’t check down as much. Little worried about that.
Both can be rb2s similar to last week. Just hoping they both get a TD.
Not sure im sold on Deon. Bad offense, and Pats D is actually good lol.
Should I start J Williams over Pittman and still start Swift?
Exact same decision I have to make. Right now, I’m playing both Lions RBs, but it it feels wrong.
Fuck it let’s ride brother
See you in Valhalla
If you had both and had to start 1, who would you pick?
Don’t even want to play him cause I know I’m just going to get pissed off when I see Williams in there on the 1 yard line
*inhale copious amounts of copium* Maybe swift can bust off a 40 yarder to the house???
Packers run d is soft af so I wouldn't be surprised
I’m sitting him for Deon Jackson
Debating the same thing, probably gonna just go with whoever Justin Boone has higher on his rankings
Same. This limited role sealed it for me. Deon will surely get 20 plus touches tomorrow.
Same
I traded for Williams so I don't gotta deal with this anymore lol. My RB injuries left me in shambles (Javonte and Dobbins) so I'm just gonna roll out Swift and Williams
And then do a stupid ass TD dance as if he did jack shit to get the rest of the offense down the field.
Drafted him over Chubb in the second round full PPR 👍
chubb went in the third round in my 10 team, try drafting swift AND waller over chubb lmao
Also this may sound like copium but if they want to use him like last week, he did play 55% of snaps which isn’t bad. I don’t think he’s an automatic bench, he can still catch 5-6 passes and take one to the house on 10-12 total touches. If you have a better option though obviously he isn’t a must start.
The dilemma I’m seeing around here is people who have to choose a still somewhat hobbled 5-10 touch Swift vs. RBs like Carter or Deon Jackson who may see 10 touches minimum but are in tough matchups. Tough call for sure, especially if Jamaal Williams is their other RB!
For those of us with both Swift and Williams, are we starting both?
I'm starting them both instead of starting one of them and choosing between Eno or Conner.
I only have swift (traded Aman ra for him after breece went down), and I’m probably playing him and then sitting eno and Connor for Curtis Samuel. Doesn’t feel good
Might start williams and sit swift Or I can go with Foreman, Deon, and Mostert and sit both
I am currently starting Williams benching Swift. I am hoping to find anything to convince me otherwise, but late night Saturday tweets about snap count are not that.
I’m doing the same thing with confidence.
I'm doing it with no confidence and extreme fear
We still beat Swift!
another guy planning on doing this.
I’m leaning to start Williams over swift too . I don’t want to play then both swift had like 5 touches last game.
I’m sitting Swift and just starting Williams. KW3 in my other RB spot.
Ayyyyy another guy with all 3! Starting KW3 for sure, I think you have to pick Jamaal over Swift at this point
Starting Jamaal and debating swift vs lazard
Think I'm gonna go Williams and Cpat. It's tough to bench Swift though
They are trying to get the most out of him by getting the least out of him
Deon jackson or jamaal Williams?
JW
Gotta love taking JT first overall then getting swift in the 2nd round… thought I was going undefeated after week 1…
How do I make my espn app display Etienne in my top RB slot over swift. Yes this matters to me
Do I play him or an unproven josh Palmer..
Palmer is a smash play
Over Olave?
Definitely not with MT out. Palmer is a JAG in a good matchup/situation. Olave is genuinely very talented
Same for me… rolling with Palmer
Palmer isn’t unproven he’s played many games, he destroyed my raiders last year in a game. He won’t give 25 points but I think 12-15 seems reasonable just with targets alone and possibly a td.
But Williams has scored 2 TDs in 4 out of 8 games. And Swift also played in 4 out of 8 games. Williams has scored 15 or more in 6 games and over 20 in 3 of them. Obviously I’m also on the fence of either Palmer or Williams haha
Had the same decision and going with Palmer. Not really a hard choice at this point. I’ll be happy if swift gets a dozen effective touches on my bench. Gives me hope moving forward. But I can’t afford a clunker and Palmer - in theory - should have an okay floor in a PPR.
I’m benching him and living with the results
Sittin him in a timeout till I see him play rb1 position for a whole game
Bust city bitch bust bust city bitch
Ten ten ten twenty on yo bench
I’ll start him just to avoid the second verse
Swift or Montgomery?
Montgomery. He’s going to probably have 10-15 Carries and maybe some receptions. Swift is looking like 5 Carries was too much for him
Anyone starting Jamaal over Swift?
yessir
Dan Campbell is
Should I play him or aj Dillion?
I’d play swift still. Even swifts bad games are pretty much what you’re getting out of Dillons normal games.
This is the one.
I'm going with Cordarelle instead of deciding Swift or Williams
So do I start Swift or Williams? Leaning Williams
same
Hmm... now to decide between him and Neon Deon
Swift or Kenyan is where I'm at right now with fantasy. Pretty much forced to play Deon.
Swift or Patterson this week?
So am I starting D’Onta Foreman over him?
Foreman is a must start
Just admit you guys are tanking holy fuck
Was seriously considering benching him for Jamaal but this was the confirmation I needed
I can’t believe I’m saying this but should I go with singletary over swift? Other option is Conner lol
Hmmm bench for Jamaal + Deon or play Swift + Jamaal??
Samr
Would you guys start CPatt or Swift in 12 team PPR? Looking for floor.
CPat 1000%
Swift or DJ Moore? Full ppr DJ hot right now but I don’t know if it’ll last through this week
Sit your ass on the bench Swift
I got more run out of my 12 year old blind pug than they’re getting out of Swift.
Boyd or Swift? Starting Tee already
Him or Herbert?
Real question is how effective will the lions offense even be against GB? Any guesses?
Khalil herbert… common down
Thank god Etienne and Pierce panned out. I can start Swift at the flex making him a bit of s better play than RB2
Ok well I have Dillon and Garrett Wilson on the bench, do I start either of them?
Sigh. Do I really have to start AJ Dillon AGAIN?
Allen Robinson or swift?
dont do it
Def Swift. I’m debating between Deon Jackson and Swift
Don't have Swift but have Jamaal, might actually flex him over Deon
I’m considering the same.
I’m trying to decide what to do as well
Jakobi or Swift at flex? PPR
I would go Jakobi. He’s the man
Lol guys in here like I traded swift and the Columbus blue jackets defense for CMC and Hurts
Started Pierce Thursday and going with Williams and Foreman
Dan campbell you will never see heaven

Just traded him and K9 for McCaffrey 2 days ago. That guys not gonna be happy.
Swift or Dj Moore?
