Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's Wild-Card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Swift sat out of the regular season finale due to an illness. It's likely that Swift would've played if it was playoff game, but team didn't want to risk anything. The expectation is that Swift would be back to his normal role. In fact, Swift could have an increased role as a pass-catcher with wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) ruled out for this game.

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe has been a non-factor in fantasy football this season and that doesn't seem likely to change now that the stakes are even higher in the NFL playoffs. Smythe posted one double-digit fantasy outing all year in PPR formats and put together just two games of 50 or more yards. He also only collected two games with more than three receptions and four games with more than three targets. The Kansas City Chiefs have more than capable defenders against opposing tight ends and they've given up the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing pass-catchers. All of that means Smythe should be avoided in DFS lineups unless anyone is trying to make a dart-throw decision.

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift will go on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The 24-year-old was given the week off last week due to an illness, but he is at no risk of missing this week's matchup after putting in full practice participation. The Eagles were running the ball well last week when they had the chance but went down so early that they abandoned the run game altogether. This week's matchup is much different. The Buccaneers allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. However, Swift torched them for 130 yards the last time he faced them back in Week 3. The former Detroit Lion will be a risky option for DFS managers on Monday night due to the Eagles' offensive struggles and the tough matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift (illness) was held out of the Week 18 loss to the New York Giants last Sunday, but he's now put in two straight full practices on Thursday and Friday and should be just fine to play in Monday night's wild-card postseason tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We're fully expecting the Eagles to remove Swift entirely from their injury report after Saturday's final practice of the week. Swift is going to be Philly's primary backfield weapon for the first round of the playoffs, but he has two big things working against him. For starters, the Eagles offense is entering postseason play out of sync with three of their star players fighting off injuries. Secondly, the Bucs defense was one of the worst matchups for opposing RBs during the regular season. If Swift doesn't find the end zone on Monday, he could disappoint in DFS lineups.

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift (illness) is apparently feeling much better this week and was a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Swift was questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants last Sunday and was eventually held out as a precaution. The 24-year-old should be ready to rock as Philly's lead back in Monday night's wild-card playoff matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. The Eagles could choose to lean more on their ground game on Monday with quarterback Jalen Hurts (finger) and receivers A.J. Brown (knee) and DeVonta Smith (ankle) ailing, but the matchup against Tampa also isn't great for Philly's backfield. The Buccaneers defense allowed the third-fewest half-PPR points per game (15.4) to opposing RBs all year.
