    Bears RB Kyle Monangai left practice early on Sunday after suffering an apparent right knee injury.

    According to the Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs, Monangai “got tangled up” with DT Grady Jarrett when the injury occurred. The second-year running back was able to walk off the field and into the locker room under his own power. The fact that the cart was not needed might be a good sign, but unfortunately, we are simply in wait-and-see mode for the time being. Bears RBs Roschon Johnson and Brittain Brown sit on the depth chart behind him. Starting RB D’Andre Swift could absorb a big chunk of Monangai’s workload if he misses time.
Are Browns competitors or contenders now 3-1?
Dan and the Danettes debate if the Cleveland Browns are "competitors or contenders" after their Week 4 win and discuss the heated exchange between Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy.

    Swift sat out on Thursday with a knee issue, but he resumed practicing on Friday. Fantasy managers should expect him to handle his normal, featured role. The Bears’ starting running back has totaled at least 19 carries and targets combined in each game this season. He is a bankable, high-end RB2.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Swift popped up as a DNP on Thursday’s injury report, but Johnson said his RB1 will practice on Friday. We’ll see where things go from here, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Swift drew a questionable designation entering the weekend. Swift has rushed 54 times for 253 yards and three touchdowns this season while also catching eight passes for 68 scoreless yards. If he is unable to play in Week 4, Kyle Monangai would be firmly on the fantasy radar as a strong RB2.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Swift was added to the injury report on Thursday in a stunning mid-week downgrade straight to DNP. The 27-year-old running back has been listed with the knee ailment earlier in the year; it’s possible this is just a rest day. If he were sidelined, Kyle Monangai would get a huge boost and be a plausible RB2 against the Jets. This will be one we’ll have eyes on Friday.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Monangai has exactly 10 carries in all three games to start the 2026 season, which pales in comparison to lead back D’Andre Swift, the latter of whom has seen 19 or more opportunities in each game. The lack of volume relegates Monangai to handcuff status in fantasy circles for the time being, at least until bye weeks begin in Week 5. He’ll be a difficult start in Week 4 against the Jets.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Swift was unable to churn out consistent gains before the break but came alive with the team nursing a second half lead, gaining 53 of his 84 yards on five second half possessions. It was also the third straight game in which Swift handled 19 or more opportunities, something he did only seven times in all of 2025, cementing his status as a volume-driven, back-end RB1 in fantasy circles. He’ll remain a weekly start when the Bears host the Jets in Week 4.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    It doesn’t seem like there’s much concern that he’ll miss Monday Night’s game against the Eagles after skipping the first practice of the week for the team on Thursday. Monangai took two limited sessions with a different ailment (hamstring) last week and should be in line for RB2 duties behind D’Andre Swift in what could be a more limited Bears running game with Case Keenum under center.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Monangai dealt with a knee injury in August that sidelined him for multiple weeks. He logged 12 touches in Week 1, then managed a hamstring injury last week before handling another 12 touches in Week 2. The robust running back will likely be good to go for the Bears’ Week 3 Monday Night Football game against the Eagles, but Monangai’s practice status is worth tracking.
  • CHI Running Back #25
    Monangai actually lead the Bears in rushing in adverse weather conditions at Soldier Field, though D’Andre Swift led in receiving. Monangai’s most notable play might have actually come via Swift, who lost a fumble at the one-yard line. Perhaps that will have coach Ben Johnson extra committed to getting Monangai his most important short-yardage looks. With Caleb Williams looking doubtful for Week 3 against the Eagles with a hamstring injury, we could see an even bigger dose of the Bears’ backfield than usual. Monangai remains a safe, if low-upside, RB3/FLEX.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Swift also lost a game-changing fumble at the Vikings’ one-yard line in the third quarter. It would have been the only touchdown of a wet, windy game had he gotten in the end zone. Instead, the Bears mustered all of three points as Caleb Williams departed in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury. Swift was also actually out-gained by Kyle Monangai on the ground, but he somehow led the team in receiving. It was just a no good, messed up day for the Bears’ offense after their 59-point Week 1 outburst. Swift would be a shakier RB2 for Week 3 against the Eagles were Williams to sit, which is probably likely for at least one game.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Both backs saw their practice reps monitored this week as they dealt with normal wear-and-tear, ultimately removed from the injury report Friday. Both will play against the Vikings in a divisional showdown after contributing to the league’s top rushing attack in Week 1. Fantasy managers can start Swift as a back-end RB1 and Monangai as a viable FLEX.

    Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla said he has “no current plans to change anything about the team, including the coach, president, operation or Lumen Field.”

    Axios’ Dan Primack reminded Khosla of his stated desire to preserve what Paul Allen built before asking him if he would commit to keeping the Seahawks in Seattle long term. Khosla first responded by saying he would “never say never,” and then rhetorically wondered aloud whether this team would be in Seattle “500 years from now,” before making his “no current plans” remarks. Primack helpfully refocused the conversation on the Lumen Field lease’s 2032 end date, prompting Khosla to say that he doesn’t think he’ll “do anything but learn for a while.” Seriously entertaining a move seems unlikely, but Khosla would do well to provide a more concrete answer to a city that once saw its NBA team relocated after new ownership took over. His comments can be ignored for now. Perhaps this is just an early negotiation tactic for future stadium renovations.

    The Athletic’s Nate Atkins believes the Rams need more from Blake Corum in the coming weeks.

    Atkins believes Puka Nacua’s (groin) impending return will lighten the box, in turn making life easier on the run game and preventing the opposition from blitzing as frequently as the Broncos did last week. Corum has not established himself as a reliable weekly contributor in fantasy. Perhaps positive impacts from Nacua’s return trickle down to the Rams’ No. 2 running back. Kyren Williams remains a locked-in starter. Keep Corum stashed for now.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Aaron Donald is dealing with a “mild” back injury.

    Rapoport also said Donald’s absence is more than just a precautionary measure, and compared his sidelining to the way the Rams handled Myles Garrett’s knee injury, with a long-term view in mind. Check back next week to see if Donald is feeling well enough to resume practicing.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that QB Tyson Bagent is expected to start for the Bears in Week 4 against the Jets.

    Bagent signed a two-year, $10 million contract extension in August 2025 to serve as the Bears’ No. 2 quarterback. He took the majority of first-team reps this week despite QB3 Case Keenum’s Week 3 heroics. Bagent can be started in Superflex leagues against the Jets, assuming he is officially named the starter this weekend.

    Derwin James (hamstring) is questionable to play in Week 4 against the Seahawks.

    James sandwiched a Thursday absence with two limited sessions. The veteran safety plays through injuries whenever possible, and the Chargers will need all hands on deck to get their season back on track.

    Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said the team is making sure Zach Charbonnet (knee) “feels great when the time comes for him to come back.”

    The Seahawks opened Charbonnet’s practice window on Thursday, but he is not yet ready to return. Charbonnet’s left quad is noticeably thinner than his right quad, and Macdonald explained that there is “a process to get him physically and mentally ready to go.” That said, Macdonald also said the veteran running back “looks fantastic.” Stash him now.

    Chiefs ruled out LT Josh Simmons (back) for Week 4 against the Raiders.

    Earlier this week, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Simmons is dealing with a bulging disc in his lower back. Brutal. On the plus side, CB Chamarri Conner (knee) will make his return.

    Marvin Mims (foot) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 4 against the 49ers.

    Mims aggravated his foot injury back in Week 1 and has been inactive on game day since. The Broncos’ volatile performer is back, but is not on the FLEX radar in 12-team formats.

    J.K. Dobbins (hip) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 4 against the 49ers.

    Dobbins practiced in full this week, so he should be ready to handle his typical workload against the 49ers this week. The Broncos’ lead rusher has played very unproductively this season, failing to hit 7.0 PPR points each week. The Broncos’ defensive line has been hit hard by injuries. Perhaps Dobbins can steady himself in the RB2/FLEX ranks against them.

    Jaylen Waddle (foot) is not on the injury report for Week 4 against the 49ers.

    Waddle gave folks a fright, sporting a walking boot after the Broncos’ Week 3 win over the Rams. He practiced in full all week, though, so there are no concerns about his availability. Waddle is a WR2 against the 49ers in what should be a fantasy-friendly game environment.
