Kyle Monangai

23-Year-Old Running BackRB
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.

Monangai (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay.
ANALYSIS
Monangai made it back to full participation Friday after missing Wednesday's practice and being limited Thursday. He should be fine for his usual role as the 1B to D'Andre Swift's 1A, but a matchup with the Packers could make it difficult to pile up rushing volume the way the Bears did in some of their recent games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team will ride hot hand at RB
RBChicago Bears
November 9, 2025
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.
