Kyle Monangai was a non-participant in Thursday’s practice due to turf toe, putting his status for Week 5 and potentially beyond in doubt. Monangai is reportedly hoping to play through the injury, though the team continues to monitor his condition.
Monangai capitalized on D’Andre Swift‘s fumbling issues in Week 4, rumbling for 130 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries against the Jets. If Monangai misses time, Swift would project as a strong RB1 given the lion’s share of carries he’d likely receive. Roschon Johnson could also factor into the backfield rotation and is worth adding in deeper leagues as a potential beneficiary of Swift’s recent ball-security struggles. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on Friday’s practice report to see if Monangai can return to the field ahead of Week 5.
