Bears coach Ben Johnson said he believes in "a guy having the hot hand" when asked about how the team will divvy up their backfield on Sunday against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
D'Andre Swift is expected to return from his injury. Kyle Monangai had a huge week last week in his absence. "One guy, if he’s feeling it and giving us a spark, we might lean on that a little bit longer." They can both be worth starting with some risk this week.
Kyle Monangai (ankle) logged a full practice session on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice after being limited by an ankle injury on Wednesday. He should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Giants but will likely see a decrease in work with D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back) both trending towards making their return in that game.
Kyle Monangai (ankle) was limited at Chicago's practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie running back was left limited at the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. He picked up an ankle injury recently, but it doesn't seem to be more than a minor issue for him at this time. His fantasy value for this week will depend heavily on the availability of players like D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back) for the Bears.
Kyle Monangai carried the ball 26 times for 176 yards while also catching three of his five targets for 22 yards in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals in Week 9.
Fantasy Impact
Monangai maximized his starting opportunity with No. 1 running back D'Andre Swift sidelined, averaging an impressive 6.8 yards per carry in the win. The rookie running back offers fantasy managers an intriguing backfield option in lineups if Swift remains sidelined for a Week 10 contest against the New York Giants.
Kyle Monangai rushed for 24 yards on seven carries in the Bears 30-16 loss to the Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Monangai saw his total touches dip after a strong performance against the Saints in Week 7. The rookie running back was a non-factor in the passing game, not receiving a target. Monangai could have a chance at a better performance against the Bengals in Week 9.
