2025 Dynasty Riser, Faller and Longshot Predictions: Chicago Bears

Summer is the best time to evaluate dynasty assets and their place in the dynasty market. In this series, we will bring you a riser, faller, and longshot from each NFL team. We’ll cover dynasty values, positional trades, and overall team outlooks.

Let’s jump into the Chicago Bears!

Riser: D'Andre Swift, RB

We waited all off-season for the Chicago Bears to replace Swift. It felt like a foregone conclusion. Ben Johnson never favored him while their tenures overlapped in Detroit, and in his five seasons, no coaching staff has appeared ready to fully commit to Swift. The Bears were overhauling their offense, and few predicted Swift would be granted his stay of execution. Yet here we are in June, and he is slated to be the starting running back for an offense we expect to be vastly improved.

The dynasty community is normally ahead of the curve. Heading into his age-26 season and without any difference-making traits, Swift plummeted. A new era in Chicago could mean he was on the move again. He is back on the upswing following April’s draft, which saw the Bears ignore the position until their eighth-round selection of Kyle Monangai. Few veterans on the fringes of relevance gain fantasy value in the off-season, but Swift was a big winner heading into the summer.
