Kyle Monangai

Last week, Ben Johnson leaned on the ground game to help protect Caleb Williams. I think Chicago should and will deploy a similar attack plan against Green Bay. Last week, Monangai finished with 22 carries and 130 rushing yards as the RB8 for the week. He had four of five running back red zone rushing attempts while playing 44.7% of the snaps with a 22.5% route share (zero targets). Among 55 qualifying backs, Monangai ranks 11th in yards after contact per attempt and 16th in explosive run rate. Since Week 9, Green Bay's run defense has displayed some give, ranking 15th in explosive run rate while allowing the 11th-most rushing yards per game and the 14th-highest yards before contact per attempt.

Kyle Monangai will play on Sunday against the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Monangai had been on the injury report with an ankle issue. He should remain a steady flex play for fantasy managers in a cold game in Green Bay where the Bears should look to continue to establish the run game.
