"Throughout this fantasy football season, we've touched on many areas in this weekly space, including potential trades to consider, players to cut, scheme trends, under-the-radar targets for deeper leagues and more. We mix it up here. Now that we're at the halfway point of the season, let's focus on the positives, the situations where the arrow is pointing up. We'll start with a rushing attack that flipped the switch coming out of the bye week."
"The Chicago Bears and coach Ben Johnson came out of the bye in Week 5 with a dedicated effort to run the football. The foundational concepts didn't change. It's still zone, some gap and perimeter schemes. But this was about winning the edges and creating a more consistent offensive tempo -- on the ground. The result? D'Andre Swift has produced back-to-back games with at least 20 fantasy points and 100 yards rushing, behind an offensive line that is creating movement up front."
