Happy Thanksgiving to all. I remember many a happy turkey day involving fantasy football. The one that sticks out the most was in 1997. I was fortunate enough to have Barry Sanders on my team that year. All the Lions star did that day was rush for three touchdowns and 167 yards against the Bears.
This year, I’m taking a shot on another Detroit running back. Like Sanders, D’Andre Swift is short in stature and a dynamic runner. And on Thanksgiving he could run wild against the NFL’s worst run defense. Just make sure to check that Swift is cleared to play this week.
