Swift’s groin is manageable and the Vikings are middling—start him as a low-end RB2. Here’s a full matchup breakdown, projection, and start/sit outlook against Minnesota

Analyze D Andre Swift's matchup for week 11

TL;DR ✅ START

Swift has posted 100-plus total yards in back-to-back games and scored in three of his last four, all while playing through a maintenance-level groin issue. The Vikings allow the 19th-most RB fantasy points and he still owns the pass-down work, so fire him up as a low-end RB2 despite Kyle Monangai’s looming presence.


Matchup Overview

Minnesota enters Week 11 surrendering 4.16 yards per carry (19th) and 6.4 yards per reception to backs, translating to 13.9 fantasy points per game to the position. Swift’s career line versus the Vikings—5.5 YPC with 3 TDs in eight meetings—plus his guaranteed receiving usage (42 grabs, 386 yards this year) keeps his floor elevated even if the rookie Kyle Monangai cannibalizes some early-down work.


Recent Trend

Since Week 6 Swift has rattled off 175-138-129 total yards in consecutive outings, found the end zone three times, and handled at least three catches in every 2025 contest. The 3.8 season YPC is ugly, but volume and touchdown production are spiking at the perfect time.


Deep Dive Analysis

Bench him only if you’re stacked at RB and own a safer 15-touch back with a better touchdown probability. For 90 percent of fantasy rosters, Swift is a must-start in Week 11.
