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.
