2025 Fantasy Outlook
Selected in the seventh round out of Rutgers in the 2025 Draft, Monangai could prove to be a steal for the Bears. While he doesn't have breakaway speed or much in the way of receiving skills, Monangai is surprisingly nimble in traffic and has strong contact balance, potentially making him a weapon on early downs and in short-yardage situations. New head coach Ben Johnson had plenty of success in Detroit with a backfield tandem, and while D'Andre Swift can capably fill the lightning role, Monangai will battle with Roschon Johnson to be the thunder.

RANKS
Inefficient with 13 carries Sunday
Monangai rushed 13 times for 36 yards while hauling in all four of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Rams in the divisional round.
ANALYSIS
Monangai struggled to gain traction in Sunday's snowy playoff loss (2.8 YPC), but his solid effort as a receiver helped buoy his fantasy score. D'Andre Swift (19-76-0) had the superior day on the ground, but neither back was able to hit pay dirt as Chicago's 2025 campaign comes to a close. The seventh-round rookie broke onto the scene as a change-of-pace back behind Swift to begin the year, carving out a significant role on offense while finishing the regular season with a 169-783-5 rushing line across 17 appearances. Swift and Monangai should continue working in tandem out of the gates in 2026, with the latter possessing tantalizing upside in fantasy for his upcoming sophomore season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team will ride hot hand at RB
Bears coach Ben Johnson suggested Friday that he'll employ a hot-hand approach to the backfield between Monangai and D'Andre Swift in Week 10 against the Giants, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Monangai racked up 198 scrimmage yards in the Week 9 win over Cincinnati while Swift sat out due to a groin injury. Swift has gained clearance to return in Week 10, but Monangai likely earned himself a substantial role moving forward. Whichever one of Swift or Monangai gets off to a stronger start Sunday against a vulnerable Giants run defense could wind up seeing the lion's share of touches in the Bears backfield.
