Notes: D’Andre Swift nominated for back-to-back FedEx Ground Player of the Week

D’Andre Swift has been nominated for FedEx Ground Player of Week for the second week in a row.

The second-year back earned his Week 11 nomination after rushing for 136 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Swift faces some tough competition this week, especially Jonathan Taylor who saved my fantasy season rushed for 185 yards on 32 carries and a whopping four touchdowns.

Swift beat last week’s rushing total of 130 yards on 33 carries, which earned him his Week 10 nomination when the Lions tied the Pittsburgh Steelers.
