Bears RB Kyle Monangai is expected to miss "multiple weeks" after hyperextending his right knee in Sunday's practice, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Week 1 In Question
We'll see if we get a more concrete timetable for Monangai's return, but with Week 1 just 27 days away, he's seemingly at risk of missing regular-season time.
We're still projecting Monagai to be ready for the opener, though we've scaled back his volume over the first two games. That makes him a bench stash rather than an early-season option.
Fantasy teams certainly shouldn't be counting on him for early-season production, but Monangai remains a fine bench stash.
Other Winners & Losers: Swift's Ceiling Raised
Monangai's injury boosts D'Andre Swift's upside.
When Swift missed Week 9 last year, Monangai handled 74% of Chicago’s offensive snaps and turned 29 touches into 198 total yards.
If Monangai isn't ready for the start of the season, Swift would likely absorb that kind of workload and be a top-12 fantasy RB.
He was a value at his RB24 ADP even before this news.
