2025 Fantasy Outlook
Selected in the seventh round out of Rutgers in the 2025 Draft, Monangai could prove to be a steal for the Bears. While he doesn't have breakaway speed or much in the way of receiving skills, Monangai is surprisingly nimble in traffic and has strong contact balance, potentially making him a weapon on early downs and in short-yardage situations. New head coach Ben Johnson had plenty of success in Detroit with a backfield tandem, and while D'Andre Swift can capably fill the lightning role, Monangai will battle with Roschon Johnson to be the thunder.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.33 million contract with the Bears in May of 2025.
No limitations Thursday
Monangai (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Monangai had a cap on his reps Wednesday during the Bears' first Week 10 session, but his ability to participate fully in Thursday's practice clears the way for the rookie to play Sunday against the Giants. While D'Andre Swift (groin) missed his first game of the season in Week 9, Monangai stepped in seamlessly as the Bears' starting running back in a 47-42 win over the Bengals, finishing with 198 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 29 touches. Swift also practiced fully Thursday and should return to a starting role this weekend, but Monangai may have nonetheless earned himself a larger share of the touches and snaps out of the backfield than he had previously occupied on the heels of his big performance.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Lead role on tap in Week 9
Monangai is set to operate as the Bears' top running back in Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Bengals due to D'Andre Swift being ruled out because of a groin injury.
ANALYSIS
Monangai has already been showing flashes of ascending within Ben Johnson's offense in the last two games, posting a 20-105-1 rushing line and adding two receptions for 13 yards. The rookie seventh-round pick may well be in line to handle a hefty workload, as Roschon Johnson's confirmed absence due to a back injury leaves change-of-pace option Travis Homer as the only other healthy back on the roster.
