5 PLAYERS TO ADD
1. RB Kyle Monangai, Chicago Bears
Monangai’s playing time has been rising as D’Andre Swift’s declines, to the benefit of both running backs.
Swift played 66.4% of the Bears’ offensive snaps over the first four weeks — and roughly that same rate in all situations, outside of the goal line, where Swift had played 100% of the snaps. Chicago had its bye week in Week 5, giving the team time to make several adjustments. That included getting the rookie Monangai more involved in Week 6. Swift’s playing time was down to 56.3%, while Monangai bumped up to 34.4%. Monangai played his first goal-line snap, and they were close to 50-50 on early downs. Swift averaged 7.7 yards per carry and caught two passes for 67 yards and a touchdown in that role, so the plan appeared to be working.
