Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai named potential fantasy sleeper
Summary

Sports Illustrated identified Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai as a potential sleeper pick for fantasy football drafts. While he is currently positioned behind D’Andre Swift on the depth chart, Monangai showed promise in the latter part of last season, averaging close to 14 touches per game over the final 10 contests. Bears head coach Ben Johnson has historically utilized a committee approach, which may lead to a more equitable distribution of carries between Monangai and Swift. Monangai's performance in goal-line situations and his ability to step up as a starter if Swift is unavailable further bolster his appeal in fantasy leagues. His average draft position places him as the 36th running back off the board, making him an attractive late-round option for fantasy managers.
