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. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.33 million contract with the Bears in May of 2025.
Big numbers with elevated workload
Monangai rushed 22 times for 130 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Monangai surprisingly returned to a starter-level workload despite D'Andre Swift being active and gaining 125 rushing yards of his own while also punching in a score. Monangai outpaced his veteran backfield mate by four carries and recorded his fifth rush TD of the season on a four-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Monangai had topped out at 12 carries in terms of a single-game tally in the last three contests, so the boost in volume Friday was significant and surprising. Nevertheless, the division of labor in the backfield is likely to continue fluctuating game to game moving forward, and Friday's usage for both backs was largely the result of a favorable game script and clear matchup advantage.

'Hot hand' may determine workload
Coach Ben Johnson said Friday that he believes "in a guy having the hot hand," which may sway the RB pecking order between Monangai (ankle) and typical No. 1 option D'Andre Swift (groin/personal) on Sunday against the Giants, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. "One guy, if he's feeling it and giving us a spark, we might lean on that a little bit longer," Johnson added.

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.
