Outlook Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai vs Vikings — Flex Appeal Surging After Explosive Opener
Monangai proved his preseason knee injury is firmly behind him by exploding for a 61-yard touchdown in the season opener. Operating behind D'Andre Swift in Chicago's backfield, Monangai has secured the secondary role in this backfield committee, seeing 10 carries and two targets in his first action of the year.
With the Bears favored at home in a matchup with solid scoring upside, game script should allow for steady backfield touches. Our models project Monangai for around 41 rushing yards on 9 carries with a couple of receptions, translating to 8.6 fantasy points. While his 17% start rate shows fantasy managers are cautious about his standalone volume, his big-play juice makes him a viable flex option in deeper formats.

Outlook MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd @ NYJ — Lead back role offers bounce-back flex appeal
With Josh Jacobs still sidelined on the commissioner exempt list, Lloyd serves as Green Bay's primary ball carrier ahead of Chris Brooks. While offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich previously mentioned a committee approach, Lloyd dominated running back touches with 13 carries in the opener and remains positioned for the bulk of early-down work.
After managing just 37 yards in Week 1, fantasy managers have grown hesitant, dropping his start rate to 27%. However, our weekly projection forecasts 11.5 fantasy points on nearly 14 carries for 56 rushing yards. Green Bay enters as road favorites in rainy conditions, pointing toward a steady rushing script that makes Lloyd a viable flex start.
