  49ers | Erik Swoope official    Tue Aug 25, 12:48 PM

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers TE Erik Swoope landed a one-year deal with the Niners. Financial terms weren't disclosed. RB Salvon Ahmed was waived.

Footballguys view: Swoope has hung around the league for more than a few years after never playing college football at the University of Miami. He was a basketball player and that's how he got on the NFL's radar. We used to monitor him in super deep dynasty leagues but it just seems like Swoope isn't going to be a guy who makes an impact in the NFL.

  Raiders | Erik Swoope joins Oakland    Tue May 21, 08:50 PM

Free-agent TE Erik Swoope (Colts) agreed to terms with the Oakland Raiders Tuesday, May 21. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Swoope has been a favorite of Fantasy GMs who play in crazy deep dynasty leagues for some time. He's a former basketball player from the University of Miami who never played college football. Swoope was picked up the Colts as a UDFA back in 2014, but he got waived near the end of 2018. He was picked up by the Saints the next day but only lasted there 24 hours as he failed his physical. Swoope has been on the market ever since. The Raiders don't have a proven room at tight end, so Swoope is a player to monitor during training camp.

  Colts | Erik Swoope's contract expires    Sat Jan 26, 10:54 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Erik Swoope had his practice squad contract expire, making him a free agent.

Footballguys view: Swoope needs to prove he can stay healthy before anyone will sign him, but the former college basketball player has flashed some good hands, speed, and useful size as a receiver in his short stints off of the injury report.

  Colts | Erik Swoope returns to Colts    Wed Dec 26, 11:59 AM

Free-agent TE Erik Swoope (Colts) was re-signed to the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad Wednesday, Dec. 26. QB Phillip Walker was released from the practice squad.

Footballguys view: Swoope has spent most of his time as a developmental player with the Colts. Undrafted out of the University of Miami in 2014, Swoope never played college football but instead was a basketball player in college. He's been an intriguing sleeper for dynasty GMs for quite some time but has never played up to his potential. Swoope has 23 catches for 384 yards and four touchdowns during his pro career.

New Orleans Saints TE Erik Swoope was released Thursday, Dec. 13, according to a source. Swoope was claimed by the Saints Wednesday, Dec. 12.

Footballguys view: That didn't last long. Swoope has a basketball skill set he brings to the football field but has been released a few times this year by two teams (Colts, Saints).

  Saints | New Orleans adds Erik Swoope    Wed Dec 12, 07:37 PM

Free-agent TE Erik Swoope (Colts) was claimed off waivers by the New Orleans Saints Wednesday, Dec. 12.

Footballguys view: Swoope, a former basketball player from the University of Miami, has flashed when healthy. Landing with the Saints is quite interesting from a dynasty perspective but he's unlikely to make much of an impact in re-draft leagues.

  Colts | Erik Swoope waived    Tue Dec 11, 04:37 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Erik Swoope was waived Tuesday, Dec. 11.

Footballguys view: Swoope, a former basketball player from the University of Miami, has been waived by the Colts before this year. He's physically gifted but has yet to develop in a few years with the Colts. Mo Alie-Cox works uncontested as the backup behind Eric Ebron going forward.

  Colts | Indianapolis' injury report for Week 14    Fri Dec 7, 03:05 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox (calf), WR Dontrelle Inman (shoulder), C Ryan Kelly (knee) and S Mike Mitchell (calf) were unable to practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 14 versus the Houston Texans. DL Denico Autry (back) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 7, and is listed as questionable. WR T.Y. Hilton (shoulder), DT Margus Hunt (knee) and CB Christopher Milton (hamstring) were limited in practice Friday and are listed as questionable. CB Nate Hairston (ankle) returned to a full practice Friday and is also listed as questionable. OT Anthony Castonzo (knee), S Clayton Geathers (knee), S Malik Hooker (hip) and LB Anthony Walker (knee) did not practice Friday but are not listed on the injury report. TE Erik Swoope (knee) was limited in practice Friday but was also not included on the injury report. TE Eric Ebron (back, illness) and WR Chester Rogers (groin) were full participants in practice Friday and have been removed from the injury report.

Footballguys view: Autry had a massive impact last week with three sacks and two forced fumbles. He would be greatly missed against Deshaun Watson if he can't go with Margus Hunt also ailing. Kelly will be missed on the offensive line against the Texans strong pass rush. The Colts are far from full strength for this pivotal game.

  Colts | Thursday injury report for Colts    Thu Dec 6, 03:30 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox (calf), DE Margus Hunt (knee), WR Dontrelle Inman (shoulder), C Ryan Kelly (knee), FS Mike Mitchell (calf), CB Nate Hairston (ankle), CB Christopher Milton (hamstring) and TE Erik Swoope (knee) did not practice Thursday, Dec. 6. FS Malik Hooker (hip) and WR Chester Rogers (groin) were limited. S Clayton Geathers (knee) was a full participant.

Footballguys view: Inman is a deep sleeper this week with the numbers the Colts second-tier receivers put up against the Texans in the first matchup, but if he can't get in a full practice tomorrow, he'll be impossible to trust even in deep leagues.

  Colts | Indianapolis' Week 12 injury report    Fri Nov 23, 02:39 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Ryan Hewitt (ankle), C Ryan Kelly (knee) and TE Erik Swoope (knee) did not participate in practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 12 versus the Miami Dolphins. TE Mo Alie-Cox (calf) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 23, and is listed as questionable. S Clayton Geathers, S Malik Hooker (hip) and LB Darius Leonard (ankle) also did not practice Friday but have been removed from the injury report. CB Nate Hairston (ankle), DT Margus Hunt (knee), CB Kenny Moore II (back) and DT Al Woods (illness) were full participants in practice Friday and also no longer appear on the injury report.

Footballguys view: Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle become slightly better plays if Alie-Cox is out. The secondary should be in better shape with Geathers and Hooker back, limiting the Dolphins to more short passing with Ryan Tannehill in at quarterback.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated TE Erik Swoope from their practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday, Sept. 22. In a corresponding move, CB Lenzy Pipkins was waived.

Footballguys view: The move was done because Jack Doyle (hip) is out for the Week 3 game against the Eagles. Swoope is an athletic tight end and former college basketball player who never played college football at the University of Miami. We've been monitoring his progress in crazy deep dynasty formats. Fantasy GMs in redraft leagues can look to Eric Ebron as a streaming option as he should get a heavy workload with Doyle out of the lineup.

  Colts | Erik Swoope lost in the shuffle?    Wed Aug 8, 03:03 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Erik Swoope has reportedly been having a strong training camp, but he remains behind newcomer TE Eric Ebron and incumbent TE Jack Doyle on the depth chart.

Footballguys view: Swoope has always been an intriguing deep dynasty prospect, mainly because of his story (never played college football) and skill set (basketball player in college at Miami). He is buried on the depth chart but an injury or two could put him into a more prominent role. Just remember the name as things are finally shaping up for Swoope after developing for a few years with the Colts.

  Colts | Erik Swoope having great camp    Mon Aug 6, 11:05 AM

Indianapolis Colts TE Erik Swoope is having a great camp, in the opinion of beat writer Zak Keefer.

Footballguys view: Swoope has taken a few years in the pros just to learn the position. He never played college football but instead played college basketball for the University of Miami. He brings that basketball skill set to the football field. Swoope is a player we've always monitored in super deep dynasty leagues.

Footballguys view: Mack, a fourth-round pick out of South Florida in 2017, is expected to begin camp as the lead back for the Colts. He's going to face tough competition for the top spot from two rookies, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins. Once Robert Turbin returns from his four-game suspension, there's another body added to the mix. Mack has the highest current ADP of any Colts running back (RB31, 6.10) with Hines (RB45, 10.06) and Wilkins (RB58, 13.12) trailing behind him.

  Colts | Erik Swoope could be ready for camp    Fri Jun 15, 09:10 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Erik Swoope (knee) is 'coming along good' and could be ready for the start of training camp, according to general manager Chris Ballard.

Footballguys view: Swoope is running out of chances to impress. He never played college football but was instead a basketball star for the Miami Hurricanes. The Colts picked up Swoope as an undrafted free agent in 2014.

  Colts | Erik Swoope signs tender    Mon Apr 2, 06:36 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Erik Swoope signed his exclusive-rights tender Monday, April 2.

Footballguys view: Eric Ebron poached Swoope's spot as the #2 tight end and downfield receiving threat at the position, but Swoope still has enough upside to carve out a place for himself in the NFL as a basketball convert. He was possibly on the verge of a breakout last year, but a knee injury and Andrew Luck's absence stopped his growth.
