Chicago Bears

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift (illness) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Swift had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday, but he found himself trending in the wrong direction ahead of kickoff. With Swift sidelined, Kenneth Gainwell is in line to operate as the Eagles' lead running back. Notably, he's averaging 4.3 catches in games where he plays at least 50 percent of offensive snaps. Therefore, he's a solid RB3 option in most fantasy leagues, especially PPR formats. Boston Scott and Rashaad Penny could also earn some opportunities out of the backfield on Sunday.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (knee) is expected to play against the Green Bay Packers in Week 18 despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 24-year-old was active last week, too, but essentially occupied a decoy role, playing 18 percent of offensive snaps while failing to command a target. A similar scenario is unlikely this weekend. Instead, Kmet should have a full workload, putting him in the TE1 tier for fantasy purposes.

Los Angeles Rams running back Royce Freeman has an opportunity to lead the backfield with Kyren Williams being rested. Freeman was given an increased role when Williams went on injured reserve earlier this season and impressed. The 27-year-old has carried the ball 73 times for 317 yards and two touchdowns on the ground this season. He beat out Darrell Henderson Jr. and has proven to be the best pure runner when Williams is out. Facing the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18, consider Freeman as a cheap DFS dart throw and RB4 in fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift (illness) is listed as questionable for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. Swift was a late addition to the injury report as he popped up there on Friday with an illness. Usually, players tend to play through illnesses, but the Eagles do already have a postseason spot locked up. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update, but most likely Swift will play. Otherwise, the Eagles will likely use a committee approach to fill the void.
