Heading into Week 5 of the NFL season, Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai is highlighted as a strong fantasy starter against Green Bay, a team that's surrendered seven rushing touchdowns this season. He had an impactful performance last week with 146 yards and two touchdowns. Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones, facing New Orleans' league-worst rush defense, also ranks as a likely starter despite injuries on his offensive line. Meanwhile, New York Giants' Cam Skattebo is advised to sit against Washington, as he has struggled to exceed 60 rushing yards in recent games and faces a tough defense allowing minimal points to running backs. Both players' performance will be critical for fantasy players this week as teams navigate their roster decisions.
- •Kyle Monangai scored two touchdowns last week and is RB17 for Week 5.
- •Aaron Jones leads against New Orleans, allowing 32.3 fantasy points per game.
- •Cam Skattebo is ranked as a sit against Washington, which allows 14.2 points per game.
