Who Should I Start? Kalel Mullings or Kyle Monangai

Sunday, November 23, 11:56 AM

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and is officially active on Sunday against the visiting Seattle Seahawks in Week 12. Mullings, who was selected in the sixth round in April out of Michigan, will be playing for the first time since injuring his ankle back on Sept. 21 in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old wideout will most likely be limited to a special teams role in his return this weekend while also serving as backfield depth behind Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. He is not a realistic starting option in any fantasy football leagues and probably won't be for the rest of his first year in the NFL. Mullings has only played in two games in 2025 and has not seen a carry or caught a pass on offense for the Titans.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has found the endzone in back-to-back weeks and continues to be a factor in this offense. Since Week 7, Monangai has averaged 76.2 scrimmage yards per game and has scored three touchdowns in those five games. While his role has shrunk since the return of D'Andre Swift, Monangai continues to produce and find the endzone. However, without a key receiving role and a limited snap share (39%), Monangai is very risky entering a tough Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This Steelers defense has allowed the eighth fewest fantasy points to running backs this season and hasn't allowed two running backs on the same team to total over 35 rushing yards in a game. While Monangai is performing well, the seventh-round pick is a high-risk RB3 in Week 12.
