Swift rushed eight times for 16 yards and caught four of six targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 24-14 loss to Chicago.
After a week of Detroit's head coach talking up Swift's expanding role, the running back matched his season-low touch total from Week 2 while Jamaal Williams logged a season-high 14 carries. It's a disappointing short-term development for fantasy managers, but they shouldn't dismiss the fact Swift tripled Williams' targets and could have had an easy receiving touchdown at one point had Jared Goff looked his way. With the Lions' defense unlikely to contain the Vikings offense in Week 5, Swift's receiving skills could be needed early and often by Detroit.
