Monangai forced his way into a committee as a seventh-round rookie, playing 41% of Chicago's offensive snaps and averaging 4.6 yards per carry on 169 attempts. From Week 7 on, the backfield settled into roughly a 55/45 split in favor of D'Andre Swift (not counting the Week 9 game Swift sat out). Monangai still finished as the RB30 despite needing several weeks to earn a larger role. He showed what he could do in that Week 9 game, turning 29 touches into 198 yards and 22.8 fantasy points. Chicago's O-line finished fifth in run block win rate and ranked among the league's best in yards before contact last season. Monangai offers stand-alone flex value and would move firmly into the RB1 conversation if Swift misses time.NegativeValueAug 4, 2026
