D'Andre Swift Calls Kyle Monangai a "Great Addition"

Thursday, July 24, 3:58 PM

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift said rookie Kyle Monangai is a "great addition" to the running back room. Monangai was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft following a productive final two seasons at Rutgers. The 23-year-old tallied at least 1,200 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in his junior and senior seasons. Now in Chicago, he could be competing for the RB2 role behind Swift with Roschon Johnson. "He don't really lack anything from what I'm seeing," Swift said. "Confident in his style of play, real low to the ground, great catching the ball out of the backfield. Solid, real solid." While seventh-round picks rarely make significant fantasy football impacts in Year 1, the Bears have one of the weaker RB units in the NFL, making Monangia one to watch as training camp progresses. He should be stashed in deep dynasty leagues.

Kaleb Johnson Seeing Some Work With First-Team Offense

Friday, July 25, 3:19 PM

PG Sports Now's Brian Batko reports that Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson was the second RB (behind Jaylen Warren) to work with the first-team offense in training camp practice on Thursday. Johnson is an ideal fit for offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's offense, and although the Steelers have Warren, Kenneth Gainwell, Trey Sermon and Cordarrelle Patterson (undisclosed), Johnson could have a nice little role in his first year in the NFL. Ideally, Johnson would be the No. 2 for Pittsburgh this year next to Warren. His production last year at Iowa was impressive -- 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns on 240 carries -- and he also has the benefit of being in a run-first offense led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Johnson will split touches with Warren, but he has enough big-play ability to be in play as an RB3/flex in fantasy right away.
