Best D’Andre Swift prop bet for Bears vs. Eagles on Black Friday

Week 13 rolls on after all the festivities on Thanksgiving. On Friday afternoon, we get a very interesting tilt between two division leaders in the NFC, as the Bears will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles.

Philly is a seven-point favorite in this spot and the total for the game on the DraftKings Sportsbook is 44.5. However, there are so many other ways to get in on the action of this Black Friday contest, with hundreds of props to choose from. Let’s narrow the scope and focus on my best bet for Chicago running back D’Andre Swift.

Best D’Andre Swift Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

D’Andre Swift 15+ Receiving Yards (+121)

It’s undeniable that rookie Kyle Monangai has started stealing some of Swift’s carries and snaps, which was expected after the former seventh-round pick looked like the reincarnation of Gale Sayers in Week 9 against the Bengals. With Swift sidelined due to injury, Monangai stepped in and racked up an eye-popping 176 yards on 22 attempts. It was impressive stuff, and a performance that was clearly deserving of a larger role in the offense going forward.

Still, while Monangai has recently pilfered some of Swift’s precious goal line work, the Rutgers product hasn’t been all that involved in the passing game, only recording one catch in his team’s past three games. In terms of routes run, Swift is averaging 16.3 per contest since Week 10, while Monangai is only averaging 14.0. It appears that Swift remains Ben Johnson’s preferred guy in pass situations, which is something Chicago might see a lot of in a contest where it enters as a seven-point road underdog.

In general, Swift’s been good as a receiver in 2025, translating his 34 targets into 24 receptions, 224 yards and a touchdown. That’s 9.3 yards per catch and 22.4 yards per game, for those unwilling to do their own math. Swift’s exceeded this prop is five of his last eight starts, while he was held to exactly 14 receiving yards in two of his three failures, so it’s not like he’s been missing by much on his off weeks. This stretch also includes a Week 10 meeting with the Giants where Swift was second to only Rome Odunze in targets with eight, which shows how involved the running back can be in the aerial attack.

In what should be a favorable script for the Bears’ passing game, I think this prop is an easy bet at plus-money.
