D’Andre Swift Injury Update: Impact on Steelers vs. Bears Betting

Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift faced a hip injury this week, affecting his practice time. However, he has been cleared for the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

D’Andre Swift’s Season Performance

Swift’s contributions have been significant this season. He has participated in 10 games, missing only one due to injury. So far, he has:

  • 134 carries for 634 yards, averaging 4.7 yards per carry
  • 23 receptions out of 33 targets for 210 yards and one touchdown

Week 12 Expectations Against Pittsburgh Steelers

In Week 12, D’Andre Swift’s role in the Bears’ offense is likely to be pivotal. He has been sharing carries with rookie Kyle Monangai, who has also shown promise recently. Last week, Swift played 57.3% of offensive snaps. Monangai managed to score a touchdown, but Swift recorded 21 carries for 90 yards.

This Sunday, the Bears face a Steelers defense that is allowing 4.2 yards per carry. The matchup could bode well for Swift, assuming a balanced distribution of touches between him and Monangai.

Betting Insights: Prop Bet for D’Andre Swift

For bettors, Swift’s performance against the Steelers raises some intriguing options. One notable prop bet is:

  • D’Andre Swift UNDER 14.5 Rush Attempts (-132)

While Swift is expected to be a key player, historical data suggests that this carries total might be high. He has only exceeded 14 carries in three games this season. His game against the Steelers may not lead to a blowout, making it likely for both Swift and Monangai to finish with similar workload numbers. Currently, Swift averages 14.9 carries per game.
