Kyle Monangai

Kyle Monangai has been a wonderful find for the Bears this season. The barbed wire tackle-breaking behemoth has averaged 15 touches and 78.3 total yards since Week 13. Since Week 13, Monangai has split the red zone rushing work with D'Andre Swift, with each back seeing ten red zone carries. Overall, among 48 qualifying backs, Monangai ranks 28th in explosive run rates and 14th in yards after contact per attempt. He should have nice flex, worthy work with RB2 upside. Since Week 12, the 49ers have allowed the third-highest explosive run rate, the third-highest rushing success rate, and the highest missed tackle rate.

Kyle Monangai rushed nine times for 50 yards while also hauling in three of his four targets for 43 yards in the Bears' 22-16 Week 16 win over the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Monangai continues to see modest involvement out of the Chicago backfield, recording 11 or more touches in each of his last six games. The rookie running back remains a risky backfield option to trust ahead of a Week 17 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
