Swift carried the ball 14 times for 80 yards and caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Nearly half of Swift's production came on a 36-yard run in the second quarter that helped set up an A.J. Brown touchdown, but he also broke loose for a 16-yard gain in OT that set the stage for a game-winning TD scamper by Jalen Hurts. It was Swift's best performance on the ground since Week 3, but he's seen at least 15 touches in 10 straight games and has already set a new career high in rushing yards with 770 through 11 contests. He's just 29 scrimmage yards short of his second career season with 1,000 heading into a Week 13 tilt against the 49ers.

Swift (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Swift and WR A.J. Brown both avoid the final injury report after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. While his role doesn't come with a lot of goal-line touches, Swift has been unchallenged as Philadelphia's lead runner for more than two months now and hasn't missed a single game.

Swift (ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report.
EDGE Analysis
Swift continues to have a cap on his listed reps due to an ankle injury as the Eagles prepare for Sunday's contest against the Bills. As such, his listing, or lack thereof, on Friday's report could be telling for the state of Philadelphia's backfield for Week 12. If Swift ends up ceding RB reps this weekend, Kenneth Gainwell likely would be the primary beneficiary.

Swift was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough due to an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Swift opened the season as the direct backup to Kenneth Gainwell, but when the latter got injured Week 1, the former took over the Eagles backfield and hasn't given it up. Over the past nine contests, Swift has averaged 19.8 touches for 98.2 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring five TDs. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will need to be monitored to see if he may be in danger of being inhibited or even out Sunday against the Bills.

Swift rushed 12 times for 76 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 31 yards in Monday's 21-17 win over Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
With Philadelphia's passing game stuck in first gear, Swift and the rushing attack led the way offensively, as all three of the Eagles' touchdowns came on the ground. Swift tied the game at 7-7 with a four-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, then helped set up Jalen Hurts' 10-yard rushing score in the third with a 35-yard run earlier on the drive. After exceeding 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time this season, Swift should remain a key part of the game plan in Week 12 against the Bills.

Swift carried the ball 18 times for 43 yards and caught both his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
While his final yardage numbers were respectable, Swift was contained on the ground by the Dallas front seven and averaged a woeful 2.4 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Kenneth Gainwell scored on a 12-yard run in the first quarter, and even Rashaad Penny saw his first totes since Week 2 in the second half as the Eagles tried to get their running game going. Swift's 20 touches still dominated the backfield (Gainwell and Penny had six touches combined), but the former Lion hasn't reached 80 scrimmage yards in four straight games. Swift will get a bye next week to recharge before preparing for a Super Bowl rematch with Kansas City in Week 11.

Swift rushed 16 times for 57 yards and a touchdown and secured two of three targets for seven yards in the Eagles' 38-31 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Swift had to work for every yard against a tough Commanders run defense, with his long gain on the day going for a modest nine yards. However, he was able to turn an ordinary fantasy day into an above-average one with a seven-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter off a fake "Brotherly Shove" play in which Jalen Hurts pitched to Swift after faking a sneak. The score snapped a three-game drought for the veteran back, who's also posted multiple catches in five consecutive contests heading into a Week 9 home showdown with the Cowboys.

Swift had 15 carries for 62 yards and caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Swift posted a more traditional running back stat line Sunday after seeing most of his fantasy production come as a receiver against the Jets in Week 6. The 24-year-old did have a touchdown opportunity vultured by backup Kenneth Gainwell (8-16-1) late in the contest that may have frustrated fantasy managers. Swift was able to earn back some of those potential points when he vultured two garbage-time carries from Gainwell on Philadelphia's ensuing drive, netting 19 additional yards despite the game being well in hand. Swift will continue serving his fruitful fantasy role as the lead back for a top offense when the Eagles face the Commanders next Sunday.

Swift had 10 carries for 18 yards while adding eight receptions on 10 targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Swift was stymied by New York's beefy front on his team-high 10 carries Sunday, but his busy work as a receiver helped offset his shortcomings on the ground. It was the 24-year-old's third touchdown of the season and first via a reception through six games with his new club. Swift had just nine receptions (11 targets) in Philadelphia's first four games before rattling off 14 catches over the last two weeks. The recent influx in targets only boosts Swift's fantasy value heading into next week's game against Miami on Sunday Night Football.

Swift had 17 carries for 70 yards and six receptions on as many targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Swift teamed up with quarterback Jalen Hurts (15-71-1) for a methodical rushing performance that resulted in the Eagles nearly doubling the Rams' time of possession in the win. Kenneth Gainwell (7-17-0) was the only tailback other than Swift to receive a carry Sunday. Philadelphia's big offseason acquisition is averaging 18.8 carries and 107.8 rushing yards over the last four games following his Week 1 dud. Swift will look to continue his hot streak against the Jets next Sunday.
