The Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. 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 Monangai Playing in Week 16?
Monangai is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bears’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Monangai in Week 16?
Caleb Williams is the obvious answer when it comes to which Bear stands to benefit the most from the Micah Parsons injury, but Kyle Monangai might be second on that list.
He carried 14 times for 57 yards in the first meeting with the back and with him holding the bruising role of this committee-ish situation, he figures to have more blocking help this time around as they won’t have to allocate as many resources to Green Bay’s game-wrecker.
Monangai has fallen into the 37-47% snap share bucket in seven of his past nine games and that’s meant 11-15 touches in four of his past five. The ceiling isn’t all that high, but I do expect him to handle the work inside the 10-yard line of a game that could see 50 points scored.
I have D’Andre Swift ahead of him, but even if more of a secondary role, he cracks my top 30 at the position.
