Lions' D'Andre Swift rushes for 116 yards and 2 scores in Week 6 win over Jaguars
Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift recorded 14 carries for 116 yards and 2 touchdowns, with 3 receptions on 4 targets for 7 yards in a 34-16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6.
What It Means:
Swift had the best game of his career in Week 6, as the Lions made a noticeable effort to get him more touches coming out of their bye week. His 14 carries were 1 less than Adrian Peterson (15), and 10 more than Kerryon Johnson (4), as he handled 41.1% of Detroit's running back attempts. His 4 targets were also tops among the running backs, as he maintained his role in the passing game. Both of Swift's touchdowns came on red zone touches, with scores from 1 and 6 yards. It remains to be seen if this usage will continue, but Swift is certainly trending in the right direction heading into a Week 7 clash with the Atlanta Falcons.
Swift scored 25.8 FanDuel points in Week 6, second-most among all running backs on Sunday's early slate, and 19.4 more than numberFire's projection (6.4).
