Should You Start or Sit Monangai in Week 11?
Kyle Monangai got the short TD plunge to bail you out last week and now it’s on you to not make the same mistake again.
I’m not calling D’Andre Swift Bijan Robinson, but that is kind of how I see this backfield with Monangai being the Tyler Allgeier complement.
He played 39.1% of the snaps in the win and was out-touched 18-7 by Swift. We know that Ben Johnson gets creative with the passing game and that’s why I think this situation stays as is and doesn’t trend to a committee.
Swift was targeted on eight of his 23 routes over the weekend while Monangai saw one look on 16 routes. The rookie was shown respect with some early work, but this offense very much shifted in the direction with time (14-4 snap edge in Swift’s favor during the fourth quarter).
I don’t think he’ll be fully scripted out, and that’s an important note. Probably not for this week with only two teams on a bye, but for future weeks where seven to 11 touches on a good offense might be enough to warrant flex consideration.
You’re keeping the man with an elite first name, but more as a depth piece than someone you’re planning on plugging in.
