Who Should I Start? Alec Ingold or Kyle Monangai

Sunday, November 24, 11:33 AM

Miami Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold (calf) and left tackle Terron Armstead (knee) are officially active for Week 12 against the New England Patriots. Ingold had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices in a row. He was healthy for Miami's first eight games before missing each of their last two contests. His return to the lineup gives the Dolphins an extra backfield blocker, as well as a big-bodied playmaker who can run the ball and catch passes. Armstead had also been listed as questionable, but his status was far more iffy given that he didn't practice at all this week. In the end, though, he's going to play against the Patriots, serving as a reliable protector for Tua Tagovailoa and the offensive backfield.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has earned a sizable role in the team's backfield alongside D'Andre Swift. Monangai and Swift both have exactly 60 carries each over the past four games, with Monangai totaling 258 yards and three touchdowns and Swift having 293 yards and one touchdown. The duo's skill sets complement each other well in a Chicago running game that has proven to be one of the best in the league. The rookie seventh-rounder ranks as the RB20 during that four-game span, averaging 12.3 PPR points per game. Monangai should continue to receive a healthy workload and touchdown opportunities in a strong Bears offense with head coach Ben Johnson pulling the strings. He profiles as a viable flex option in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns.
