Rankings
Andy Hicks
Monangai had a better than expected rookie season and places pressure on D'Andre Swift for carry share. If he shows any improvement he could grab a larger share as Swift is a proven, but limited commodity. I would still prefer Swift, but Monangai is very capable.

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
Jeff Haseley
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.
Matt Waldman
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.

The second RB in a Ben Johnson offense has finished as the RB21, RB17, RB18 and RB33 in PPR formats, with the last one being Monangai. He figures to be the RB2 this year behind D'Andre Swift, who is a free agent after the season. Monangai's big upside is becoming Ben Johnson's RB1 in 2027 and beyond. The downside is that he might not.
