D'Andre Swift vs Kyle Monangai: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai for your lineup, you are not alone. D'Andre Swift finished the 2025 season at 13.2 PPG for the Chicago Bears (16 games), and Kyle Monangai averaged 8.1 for the Chicago Bears (17 games).
That 5.1-point weekly advantage for D'Andre Swift is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. D'Andre Swift ran for 1087 yards and 9 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.
Both share a Week 7 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
