Kyle Monangai

Kyle Monangai is a solid RB3/flex option with high-end handcuff appeal for 2026. Last year, in Weeks 10-18, Monangai led D'Andre Swift with 19 red zone rushing attempts compared to Swift's 18 while producing as the RB33 in fantasy points per game. During the same span, Monangai averaged 12.2 touches and 55.8 total yards while having a 28.8% route share (per Fantasy Points Data). Monangai is a serviceable early down hammer for Chicago, ranking 24th in explosive run rate, 21st in rushing success rate, and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. If Swift misses any time, Monangai would be Chicago's lead back and an RB1/2.

Kyle Monangai rushed for 14 yards on six carries and caught one pass for 15 yards in the Bears' 19-16 loss to Detroit on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

The seventh-round rookie out of Rutgers rushed for a season-low 14 yards and, since running for 130 yards against Philadelphia on November 28, has totaled just 192 yards in his last five games. He finishes his rookie campaign with 784 yards rushing and will remain a solid complementary back to D'Andre Swift.
