Kenny McIntosh News
Sunday, March 22, 8:15 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh (knee) could be in the mix to lead the team's backfield in 2026. According to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, "McIntosh is as talented as any running back on the roster and should get an opportunity to be one of the two lead guys." This is an interesting development out of Seattle. While McIntosh, who is working his way back from a torn ACL, is a near-lock to make the roster out of camp, there hadn't been much buzz for him to push his way to the top of the depth chart until now. Dugar said that he believes the 26-year-old's contact balance, breakaway speed, and reliable hands could vault him into a lead role over Emanuel Wilson and Zach Charbonnet (knee). There's still plenty of time between now and Week 1, and we could see this backfield go in any direction depending on external additions, injuries, or individual camp performances. At the very least, though, McIntosh suddenly becomes an intriguing buy-low target in dynasty leagues, especially if he has a path to earning more than half of the snaps and rushing attempts in the season opener.

Kyle Monangai News
Friday, April 3, 5:19 AM
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai had an impressive rookie season, and he's pushing to take on even more opportunities in his second pro campaign. A glaring Year 2 breakout candidate, Monangai finished last season with 783 rushing yards, 164 receiving yards, and five touchdowns across 17 games, despite not carving out a significant role until Week 7. From Week 7-18, he ranked as the overall RB23 in PPR leagues. The 23-year-old was able to produce at such a high level despite operating as the backup to D'Andre Swift. Both backs had strong seasons, and Swift consistently served as the lead back over Monangai, other than the one game he missed in Week 9. This Ben Johnson-led Bears offense showed that it can support two fantasy-relevant running backs, and we don't expect that to change in 2026. Going forward, Monangai should carve out an even larger role in his second pro season. In fact, he's probably going to get a chance to prove that he deserves to be the Bears' every-down back after Swift's contract expires next offseason. Even after his strong season and RB30 finish, Monangai continues to be an intriguing buy-low candidate in dynasty leagues. He currently ranks #28 among running backs in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings, but there's no disputing that he has top-12 upside long-term.
