Kyle Monangai vs Raheim Sanders: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Kyle Monangai and Raheim Sanders is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Chicago Bears running back put up 8.1 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Raheim Sanders of the Cleveland Browns averaged 4.7 in 4. A 3.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.4 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. Kyle Monangai ran for 783 yards and 5 touchdowns; Raheim Sanders posted 92 and 1. 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: Kyle Monangai is off Week 7 and Raheim Sanders 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.
