Bears RB Kyle Monangai (thumb) 'going to be OK'

Oct 06, 2026

Bears head coach Ben Johnson told reporters in his Monday press conference that running back Kyle Monangai’s thumb injury is not serious.

“We think he’s going to be OK,” Johnson said, via transcript from the team. “We’ll see what it looks like as we go through the week here, but more of a day-to-day type deal.”

Fantasy Impact:

While Swift is Chicago’s starter, Monangai leads the team with 324 yards rushing, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. Swift has 311 yards, averaging 4.5 yards per carry, the story pointed out. We reported Monday that Monangai quietly left Week 4's game with a thumb injury, and he was getting it looked at on Monday. The day to day tag gives him a real chance to play in Week 5, but we'll continue to watch the practice reports this week to see if he misses time. The Bears are at the Packers in a game that was moved to the early slate on Sunday.

Packers RB Chris Brooks getting tests on ankle

RB Chris Brooks (ankle) is still going through tests.

Related players: MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

The Packers run game would lean on Lloyd and Johnson if Brooks has to miss any time. Lloyd was productive in the passing game with a 5-36-0 line. Johnson ran eight times for 42 yards but fumbled in the red zone in the fourth quarter and did not play again. It's easy to see how the workload could be split assuming Brooks is out, but right now it's tough to trust any of the three backs in your fantasy lineups.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson dealing with ankle sprain

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is dealing with a sprained ankle that gives him only an outside chance to play Sunday against the Falcons, sources say.

Jackson could end up missing multiple games based on how rehab goes.

Fantasy Impact:

Lamar owners probably need to prepare to be without him for at least a game, despite having only an outside chance to play this week. It sounds more likely it could be a week or two. The good news, as the post said, the injury is not considered long-term or surgical.

Seahawks planned to use WR Rashid Shaheed at RB in Week 4

With the Seahawks thin at running back on Sunday, they deployed receiver Rashid Shaheed in the backfield.

He got two carries for 33 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown run.

It wasn’t something the Seahawks cooked up this week, with Jadarian Price on injured reserve and Zach Charbonnet still not all the way back from a torn ACL suffered in January.

“We’ve had that in all [training] camp,” coach Mike Macdonald told reporters on Monday. “This isn’t a quote from [offensive coordinator Brian] Fleury, but felt like it was appropriate because of [Price] going down, he gave us some speed. That was cool.”

Fantasy Impact:

Now the question becomes will the team continue to give Shaheed carries. The Seahawks recently signed Mixon, and Charbonnet could be on his way back to the lineup sooner than later. Wilson proved last week he can work as the team's RB1. The 49ers have shown with Deebo Samuel that using your WR at RB can be a nice option for your offense, however many teams have tried to copy and it hasn't worked out. Shaheed has just seven catches for 73 yards and has three total carries this season. He's not necessarily safe for fantasy lineups until we see him get more touches, but this could be a way he gets more work.
