  • D’Andre Swift: 18 carries, 124 yards, 3 touchdowns.
  • Kyle Monangai: 10 carries, 100 yards, a touchdown.
  • Caleb Williams: 269 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 65 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns.

Chicago’s 59-37 win at Carolina produced big fantasy lines for D’Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai and Caleb Williams. Swift had the larger carry total. Monangai made ten carries count. Williams finished with two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns.

Swift had the bigger running load

Swift ran 18 times for 124 yards and three touchdowns, with one 10-yard reception. Those 18 carries are the first number for a Week 2 lineup decision. Three scores drove the fantasy total, so keep the touchdowns next to the workload rather than treating them as a weekly expectation.

Monangai made the other Bears backfield case

Monangai had 10 carries for 100 yards and a touchdown, plus two catches for 24 yards. His longest run was 61 yards. That makes him a player to check if he is available in your league. Swift had 18 carries to Monangai’s 10; compare both with your actual lineup options.

Williams helped create a 59-point afternoon

Williams completed 21 of 29 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns, then added ten carries for 65 yards and two scores. Chicago’s output gives the backfield context. It does not replace the actual carry totals.
