Week 9 Fantasy Football Streamers at Every Position: Be a Bam Knight Rider Who should you be streaming in Week 9? John Laghezza digs into the data and picks the top players at each position [Read More]

From FantasyLife

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.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has moved past Roschon Johnson as the team's RB2. Monangai has logged 13 carries for 44 yards and added three catches for 23 yards, playing on 29% of Chicago's snaps. Johnson, meanwhile, has yet to see an offensive snap in 2025. Starter D'Andre Swift continues to lead the backfield but has struggled to find rhythm, averaging just 3.5 yards per carry. This week brings a difficult matchup against a Raiders defense that has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to running backs. With Swift (hip) questionable to play in Week 4, Monangai's value could substantially increase if Swift weren't able to suit up. For now, Monangai remains off the fantasy radar, but his steady role as the No. 2 option could grow in value with the Bears heading into their bye week in Week 5.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai had a quiet statistical game in his team's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys, finishing with 20 yards from scrimmage on seven total touches. Bears RB1 D'Andre Swift still appears to have a strong hold on the backfield touches in Chicago, as Swift finished with 78 yards from scrimmage on 16 total touches. Neither Bears running back is averaging four yards per carry so far this season, so Monangai could work his way into a larger workload if he can improve his production over the course of the season. In deep fantasy leagues, the 23-year-old could be a worthy stash candidate depending on overall roster construction.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai is quietly carving out a role in the backfield. For a seventh-round pick, earning early trust isn't easy, but Monangai has quickly impressed both coaches and teammates. He played 42% of the snaps in Week 3, totaling eight touches for 36 yards against a stout Detroit Lions run defense. Head coach Ben Johnson singled him out as one of the few bright spots in the loss. With Roschon Johnson nearly phased out of the offense, Monangai looks set to serve as a complementary back behind D'Andre Swift, who is currently questionable with a hamstring injury after limited practice all week. Dallas' defense has struggled early in 2025, giving Monangai a potential opportunity to build on his momentum. If D'Andre Swift is inactive, Kyle Monangai immediately becomes a must-start RB3 and a player who should be rostered in all leagues. If Swift plays, Monangai slides back into his complementary RB2 role and remains a streaming option for Week 3.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai logged seven carries for 28 yards and added one catch for eight yards in the team's 52-21 loss to the Detroit Lions. More importantly, Monangai appeared to leapfrog Roschon Johnson in the backfield rotation, playing 41% of the snaps while Johnson saw zero offensive snaps. Most of Monangai's work came in garbage time with quarterback Tyson Bagent, but head coach Ben Johnson singled him out as one of three players who impressed in the loss. There's even speculation that Monangai could start carving into D'Andre Swift's workload as the season progresses. For now, Monangai looks locked in as Chicago's RB2 and should be stashed in deeper formats. If his role continues to grow, he could emerge as a fantasy sleeper with contingent upside.
