Kyle Monangai

Matchup flex value + Swift injury upside (and he has shown the ability to handle the load in the NFL) - monitor for offseason/camp year two bump buzz

Monangai is a strong fantasy handcuff and solid flex play after a highly productive 783-yard rookie campaign where he worked his way into a regular red-zone and early-down committee with D'Andre Swift.

Monangai was an RSP favorite last year, and one of the players I valued far above consensus since June '25. A bowling ball of a runner with strong vision, Monangai gradually became a vital piece of the Bears' backfield. 

This spring, Monangai has been working on his routes with WR coach, Drew Lieberman. Chase Brown begain working with Lieberman three years ago, and it aided his development. 

D'Andre Swift remains the lead back and had his best year in '25 under former Bears RB Coach, Eric Bienemy. Still, Monangai runs with better power and contact balance. 

Expect an even split in volume and if Swift gets hurt, Monangai has experience carrying a load as a lead back. If he gets that chance in Chicago, he'll deliver top-10 fantasy value at the position because of the Bear's OL and TEs.
