Kyle Monangai Capitalizes on Expanded Role in Week 9
Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai rushed for 176 yards on 26 carries during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught three of his five targets for an additional 22 receiving yards. Monangai was thrust into the lead-back role with D'Andre Swift (groin) sidelined, and he took full advantage of the opportunity, notching 29 touches in just his eighth career NFL game. The rookie seventh-round pick has played well enough over the last few weeks that he might be able to hold onto the lead-back role even when Swift is healthy again. At the very least, Monangai will carve out a sizable complementary role, giving him an RB3/flex floor every week. He's an RB3 heading into Week 10 against the New York Giants and could jump to the low-end RB1 tier if Swift is ruled out.
