The Chicago Bears will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Kyle Monangai.
Is Kyle Monangai Playing in Week 13?
Monangai is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Monangai in Week 13?
The gap is closing and I may be overly optimistic in saying that it hasn’t already closed completely.
Kyle Monangai held a 21-7 snap edge over D’Andre Swift week when in enemy territory and his usage was pretty clearly part of Ben Johnson pregame plan (7-4 snap edge over Swift in the first quarter after the incumbent had a 7-2 first quarter edge in Week 11).
My lone hesitation here is Swift profiles as the better pass catching bet and we know that this offense would prefer to open up a bit. He hasn’t been used in that sense lately (one catch over the past two weeks), but I’m willing to give him one more bite at the apple to carve out a meaningful role that features maybe 11-13 carries and a handful of targets.
Monangai seems to have the red zone role nailed down (4-1 touch edge in that regard last season) and if we are going to get 15+ touches from him, even in a difficult matchup, that is a flex worthy role this week and the rest of the way.
