Kyle Monangai has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against Tampa Bay with a toe injury. The Chicago running back missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before practising in a limited capacity Friday, but the club has now made him inactive shortly before kickoff.

Monangai's absence opens up work in the Chicago backfield for Roschon Johnson and Salvon Ahmed behind D'Andre Swift. In his last game (week 4 against the Jets), Monangai posted 30 carries for 146 yards and 2 TDs with 1 catch for 4 yards on 1 target, totalling 27.5 half-PPR points on 54% of the snaps. Johnson handled 4 carries and 1 target on 11% of snaps in that contest, whilst Swift took 15 carries and 2 targets on 35% of snaps. Monangai's 30 carries included 2 inside the 5 and 4.3 inside the 20 a game over his last three outings, the 1st most of 112 running backs in both categories.

Kyle Monangai

Monangai cannot play this week with the toe injury, so he does nothing for any fantasy lineup until he is cleared. He practised in a limited capacity Friday after missing Wednesday and Thursday sessions, but Chicago has listed him out shortly before kickoff. The injury joins a thumb problem that also appeared on the practice report this week.

Over his last three games Monangai averaged 16.7 carries for 74.7 yards with 1 reception for 5 yards on 1 target, producing 12.5 half-PPR points a game on 40% of the snaps. 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. His 44% rush success rate ranked 8th of 109 running backs over that window. Bench him until the injury clears.

What to do

• Bench Kyle Monangai until he is cleared from the toe injury.

• Roschon Johnson and Salvon Ahmed take on the work Monangai leaves behind in Chicago's backfield this week.

• Monitor Monangai's practice status ahead of week 10 for signs he can return.
