Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai is in to handle the bulk of the carries with starter D'Andre Swift (groin) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie out of Rutgers has seen his workload increase over the last few weeks in a complementary role to Swift, but now should be expected to see the most touches of his young career. Fantasy managers who have been holding Monangai this season have been waiting for an opportunity to plug-and-play him as an RB2, and the matchup doesn't get much better in Week 9 against a porous Bengals defense. In Monangai's only game with 10 or more touches this season, he produced 94 total yards and a touchdown on 15 touches in Week 7 against the Saints. Monangai profiles as a borderline RB1 in Week 9, ranking as RotoBaller's RB13 in PPR leagues.

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai has carved out a larger role in recent weeks, recording 28 touches to starter D'Andre Swift's 49 since the team's Week 5 bye. Monangai played 29 snaps in their Week 8 loss at Baltimore, just two fewer than Swift's 31, which also marked Swift's lowest total of the season so far. Now, Swift has missed the first two practices to open the week with a groin injury that he's been battling for a few weeks, putting his status for their Week 9 matchup in Cincinnati. Monangai would be in line to handle the bulk of the touches if Swift were unable to go. It'd be a dream spot for the rookie out of Rutgers to make his first career start as the Bengals have allowed the most PPR points per game to opposing running backs this season. Monangai remains a must-roster player with plug-and-play potential if Swift were to miss any time.

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai continues to share time with D'Andre Swift and has had about a 50% snap share the last two weeks. In Week 8, he played 29 snaps while Swift played 31 against the Ravens. The rookie from Rutgers had 13 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against the Saints, but he only managed 24 yards on seven carries against the Ravens. Swift had a little more success, but Monangai had the longest running back run with his 15-yard carry. He wasn't targeted in the passing game this week, but he has shown he can be a good receiver out of the backfield when called upon. Even though he didn't have huge numbers this week, he remains a strong pickup from the waiver wire based on his playing time. He's also in a great matchup in Week 9 against the Bengals, who have been an exceptional matchup for running backs this season.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai continues to trend upward in recent weeks. In Week 7, the seventh-round pick posted 94 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on just 15 touches, setting career highs across the board. Since the team's Week 5 bye, Monangai has played nearly 40% of the snaps, complementing starter D'Andre Swift, who has been on the field for 57%. With Swift battling a groin injury entering Week 8, Monangai could once again see a sizable workload against a vulnerable Baltimore Ravens run defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to running backs this season. Even if Swift suits up (which is expected), Monangai carries FLEX appeal in this soft matchup, especially given his increasing role and recent production.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai had his best game as a pro in Week 7 against New Orleans, handling 13 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown, and added two receptions (three targets) for 13 yards. The Bears have leaned into their run game more in their two games post games after their Week 5 bye, totaling 367 yards on 67 carries. And Monangai played his highest snap share of the season at 46.3% on Sunday against the Saints, but it's worth noting that starter D'Andre Swift was dealing with a groin injury coming into the game. The seventh-round rookie is still a solid add as a strong handcuff option to Swift in an improving offense.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai had the best game of his young NFL career in his team's Week 7 win over the New Orleans Saints, recording 94 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 15 total touches. The 23-year-old has been an efficient player so far this season, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and 5.4 yards per touch. Monangai remains the clear RB2 in Chicago behind D'Andre Swift, who had a similarly stellar game in Week 7 with 138 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 20 total touches. Still, Monangai could slowly steal work away from Swift over the course of the season. At the very least, Monangai is a high-end handcuff option who should be rostered and stashed in deep fantasy leagues. The Bears will travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens in Week 8.

Dynasty | Bears running back Kyle Monangai had 81 rushing yards, two catches, 13 receiving yards and a touchdown in a win against the Saints. Dynasty Analysis: While one might look at the box score and figure Monangai posted these numbers in garbage time, it really wasn't the case. He was strong all day and created a solid "1B" to the "1A" of D'Andre Swift. Monangai is undoubtedly owned in your dynasty league but it's certainly worth checking as he's a player clearly on the rise.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai posted a career-high in yardage in Week 6 coming out of the bye. Through five games, Monangai has totaled 129 scrimmage yards on 26 touches, operating as the clear backup to D'Andre Swift. Swift (groin) is questionable for Week 7 but has stated he expects to play, keeping Monangai in his reserve role. While the rookie could see a slight uptick in usage if Swift is limited, his fantasy value remains limited heading into the matchup with the Saints. Monangai should stay on fantasy benches in Week 7 as he continues to carve out a role in Ben Johnson's offense.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai will look to build on his growing role coming out of the team's bye week. Through four games, the seventh-round pick has logged 17 carries for 62 yards and added three receptions for 23 yards. While his production has been limited, head coach Ben Johnson has praised Monangai for making the most of his opportunities. With D'Andre Swift off to a slow start, Monangai could begin to push for a larger share of the backfield touches in the coming weeks. However, the matchup against the Washington Commanders isn't favorable, as they've allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Monangai isn't a fantasy option just yet, but managers should keep an eye on his usage Monday night, as the rookie could quietly carve out a bigger role in Week 6 and beyond.
