ESPN Fantasy Football on Kyle Monangai
From the article
Kyle Monangai exploded for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries against the Jets on Sunday. Monangai's career day was inflated by Chicago outsnapping New York 89-32 (regression alert!)... Monangai, who has two games with 20-plus fantasy points and two with less than 8.0 points this season, is running the ball well (5.4 YPC)... He's no more than a boom/bust flex
STACKED’s take
Monangai's Week 4 explosion was inflated by game script; expect boom/bust usage.
Monangai exploded for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries against the Jets in Week 4, but this performance was inflated by Chicago outsnapping New York 89-32 (regression alert). Through the first three games of the season, Monangai trailed Swift in snaps (134-75), carries (54-30) and targets (10-4), and had exactly 10 carries. His usage will likely remain inconsistent, and his fantasy output is limited by a minimal receiving role (five targets in four games). While he's running well (5.4 YPC) behind a terrific line, he won't always be the hot hand. He's no more than a boom/bust flex in a good matchup against Green Bay, which has allowed the second-most TDs (eight) and third-most fantasy points to RBs.
