Who Should I Start? Terrell Jennings or Kyle Monangai

Thursday, November 13, 7:42 PM

New England Patriots running back Terrell Jennings (knee), who was listed as questionable this week, is officially active for the Thursday Night Football contest in Week 11 against the division-rival New York Jets. Jennings suffered a bruised knee in the Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is good to go on Thursday evening. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) will miss his third straight game, so Jennings should once again see an elevated role in New England's backfield as the change-of-pace weapon behind rookie TreVeyon Henderson. The 24-year-old Jennings saw double-digit touches in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons, but fantasy managers in deeper leagues cannot count on that again on a short week with Jennings coming off an injury, especially after Henderson had 147 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries last week.

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.
