Breece Hall vs Kyle Monangai: Who Should You Start?
Breece Hall and Kyle Monangai are both viable fantasy running backs heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Breece Hall averaged 11.9 PPG across 16 games with the New York Jets, while Kyle Monangai posted 8.1 PPG in 17 appearances for the Chicago Bears.
A 3.8-PPG gap gives Breece Hall the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Breece Hall ran for 1065 yards and 4 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: Breece Hall is off Week 12 and Kyle Monangai Week 7. 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.
