Kyle Monangai vs Blake Corum

“1 running back, Kyle Monangai has standalone fantasy value.”

“The Bears have a two-man backfield, with RBs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai sharing work.”

“Kyle Monangai might have the single most injury-contingent upside in the NFL at running back, because the dude straight up produces when he gets touches.”

“Kyle Monangai is a favorite draft target in the eighth round based on ADP.”

“Raymond is coming off a sophomore campaign with over 1,400 scrimmage yards and 15 touchdowns, filling the shoes of former teammate Kyle Monangai nicely. From an efficiency standpoint, he's been slightly better across the board than Monangai ever was at Rutgers.”

“The bruiser in Ben Johnson's offense, Kyle Monangai, was a winner after Chicago didn't address the running back position in free agency or the draft. Monangai should continue to be the thunder to D'Andre Swift's lightning.”

“Kyle Monangai is one of the more interesting mid-round running back bets discussed on the show, with the appeal coming from role expansion. The analysts highlighted both the quality of the running game design and the possibility that Monangai eventually claims the most valuable rushing opportunities.”

“D'Andre Swift was widely considered to be a player Ben Johnson wouldn't want heading up his backfield a year ago, but ended up being a good value bet with a 57.8% snap share compared to Kyle Monangai's 41.3%. Swift was ultimately by far the better option, with a higher explosive run rate (5.4% vs. 4.1%), a better missed-tackle forced rate (0.17 vs. 0.10) and more yards before contact.”

“Kyle Monangai (RB30) had a solid season but was far from consistent every week.”

“Kyle Monangai was framed as a deeper sleeper running back worth keeping on watch lists. The analysis focused less on immediate production and more on the possibility that his style earns trust over time.”

“RB Kyle Monangai is impressing in seven-on-seven drills with his run-after-catch ability, with Kalif Raymond noting that even in limited-contact situations, he's putting on moves.”

“Blake Corum (RB – LAR) One of my favorite maxims for fantasy drafts is, “Miss small, hit big.”

“Corum carries massive upside if Kyren Williams misses any time and could even work his way into FLEX consideration in the right matchups.”

“Blake Corum is one of the best handcuffs in fantasy. He looked back to his pre-injury form (finally) last year.”

“Corum rushed for 746 yards on only 145 carries last season and closed out the season with over 600 yards and five touchdown through the last six games. The young running back also rushed for 6.4 yards per carry over that span. The expectations are logical, it’s all about the opportunity.”

“Blake Corum (RB – LAR) | ADP 94 Overall, RB35 After becoming a third-round pick of the Rams in the 2024 NFL Draft, the outlook for Blake Corum was optimistic”

“Williams played 69.2% of the snaps in the red zone and out-touched Blake Corum 58 to 26 in that area.”

“If Corum is going to incur a heftier workload, his outlook starts to become extremely appealing.”

“Among 60 running backs with at least 65 rush attempts in the regular season and playoffs last year, Blake Corum was second in success rate (60.2%), fourth in stuff rate (38%) and seventh in explosive run rate (6.4%).”

“There is a world where we see a 50/50 split with Corum and Kyren Williams . Corum is more explosive than Williams and has shown signs of being an every-down back.”

“Blake Corum is a league-winner if anything happens to Kyren Williams.”

“Blake Corum is a favorite draft target in the ninth round based on ADP.”

“Going into this season, a 60-40 split in favor of Williams is expected. As a result, Corum is one of the few handcuffs with weekly FLEX appeal.”
