Bhayshul Tuten vs Kyle Monangai: The Full Breakdown

Deciding between Bhayshul Tuten and Kyle Monangai is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Jacksonville Jaguars running back put up 5.6 PPG in 2025 over 15 games; Kyle Monangai of the Chicago Bears averaged 8.1 in 17. A 2.5-point margin that could shift on any given week.

The per-game difference of 2.5 points favors Kyle Monangai, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Bhayshul Tuten ran for 307 yards and 5 touchdowns; Kyle Monangai posted 783 and 5. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

One scheduling note: Bhayshul Tuten is off Week 7 and Kyle Monangai Week 10. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in running back for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Bhayshul Tuten (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds. Kyle Monangai (age 23) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
