Kyle Monangai did not practise Thursday with thumb and toe injuries. The Chicago running back is listed questionable for Monday night's game against Seattle, which kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET.

Monangai cannot be trusted in lineups until his status is confirmed. Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff. His last game came in Week 4, when he carried 30 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns with one catch for four yards on 54 per cent of snaps, scoring 27.5 half-PPR points against the Jets. Over his last three games he has averaged 40 per cent of snaps, 16.7 carries and 12.5 half-PPR points a game, though he is scoring 1.7 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts, so his role is worth more than his recent points.

Kyle Monangai

Monangai did not practise Thursday with thumb and toe injuries and is listed questionable for Monday night's game against Seattle. Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff. A limited or full practice Friday would not guarantee he plays. Our brief says Monangai has not practised since Tuesday and the toe and thumb injuries have sidelined him since Week 4, with limited time before Monday to prove availability.

Over his last three games Monangai has averaged 16.7 carries and 12.5 half-PPR points a game on 40 per cent of snaps and a three per cent target share. He has two carries inside the five a game (4th of 105 running backs) and 4.3 carries inside the 20 a game (5th of 105 running backs). The Week 4 workload against the Jets showed his ceiling when healthy: D'Andre Swift took 15 carries and two targets on 35 per cent of snaps behind him, with Roschon Johnson getting four carries and one target on 11 per cent. This week's matchup is against Seattle, which has allowed 18.1 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the 13th fewest of 32.

What to do

• Monitor Friday's practice report for any sign Kyle Monangai participates before making a lineup decision.

• Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff to confirm Kyle Monangai's availability.

• If Kyle Monangai is ruled out, expect D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson to split the Chicago backfield work.
