Tyler Allgeier News
Thursday, July 30, 4:46 PM
Through eight days of training camp, Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier has been getting the majority of the carries with the first-team offense, with rookie running back Jeremiah Love getting the rest, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. Allgeier signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Cardinals this offseason and is expected to have a key role in what could be a run-heavy offense in Arizona. The 26-year-old has had a solid start to his career despite backing up star running back Bijan Robinson. He averaged 4.3 yards per carry in four years with Atlanta and averaged 2.9 yards after contact last season. The Cardinals are likely easing Love into the offense, but the No. 3 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft projects to be the leader of the team's backfield. Arizona also has James Conner (knee) and Trey Benson as well, making this a very crowded backfield. Allgeier is currently RotoBaller's RB50, but that stock could rise if he continues to work with the first-team offense in most of training camp.

Kyle Monangai News
Friday, July 31, 8:36 AM
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai (undisclosed) remains out of training camp practice on Friday for a second straight day, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. With Monangai out for undisclosed reasons, Salvon Ahmed is getting Monangai's reps behind starter D'Andre Swift. The 24-year-old Monangai should be considered day-to-day until we know more about his situation. Hopefully, he'll be able to get back on the practice field at some point this weekend. As a rookie in 2025, Monangai had 169 rushing attempts for 783 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and five touchdowns while adding 18 receptions on 30 targets for 164 yards as a receiver in 17 regular-season games (one start). He's expected to resume his role in 2026 as a complementary option to Swift in Chicago's backfield, limiting his overall fantasy upside. Monangai also isn't a particularly strong receiver, so his only real path to an improvement in Year 2 is to see more goal-line work and vulture touchdowns from Swift. Fantasy managers should consider the second-year back as a TD-dependent RB3/flex and a strong handcuff to Swift.
