D'Andre Swift (shoulder/ankle) unlikely to play Week 5 for Detroit
Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder/ankle) is not expected to play Week 5 against the New England Patriots, reports Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
What It Means:
Swift is expected to be held out through the Lions' bye and return Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. Jamaal Williams is expected to carry the load again on Sunday, with Justin Jackson and Craig Reynolds backing him up. Williams has had at least 20 touches and cleared the century mark in scrimmage yards each of the past two weeks.
Williams is the RB17 in numberFire's Week 5 rankings and our models project him for 12.6 FanDuel points, with 16.3 carries for 66.7 yards and 2.3 receptions for 16.4 yards. The Patriots have allowed the fourth-fewest FanDuel points to the running back position this season, but their run defense is just 26th in our adjusted team rankings.
