Who Should I Start? Kyle Monangai or Nathan Carter

Saturday, November 15, 12:18 PM

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has been able to carve out a role in this Bears backfield. In his rookie season, Monangai has had 75 carries for 390 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 83 yards on nine receptions through the air. Despite being mostly undrafted in fantasy leagues this season, the 2025 seventh-round pick has stepped up as a key piece for fantasy teams. However, his streak of facing easy matchups comes to an end this week, as the Minnesota Vikings have allowed the 13th fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. They have been as good as any in the last few weeks, holding Derrick Henry and Jahmyr Gibbs to under double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back weeks. With Swift healthy and a capped ceiling in this matchup, Monangai is a low-end RB3 in Week 11, and a player that should be on benches this week.

Atlanta Falcons backup running back Nathan Carter led the team's backfield in Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans, rushing nine times for 63 yards, which included a 43-yard touchdown scamper straight up through the middle of the Tennessee defense in the third quarter. The rookie out of Michigan State got the most run of all the Falcon running backs, adding two catches for nine yards to his stat line, while Jashaun Corbin touched the ball six times and Elijah Dotson received three carries and one reception. Carter's run featured some good vision and breakaway speed, a couple of traits that should go a long way in helping to secure a roster spot as the regular season nears.
