The fantasy football landscape is evolving as the playoffs approach. Key performances from various players can influence management strategies as teams seek crucial wins. Two names standing out are Kyle Monangai of the Bears and Bam Knight of the Cardinals. Both players have shown consistent scoring ability and could be valuable assets this season.
Kyle Monangai: Rising Star for Fantasy Football Managers
Kyle Monangai of the Chicago Bears has emerged as a vital player in the running back position. Currently rostered in 56% of fantasy leagues, he has displayed impressive form, particularly in the Bears’ recent game where they accumulated 281 rushing yards against the Philadelphia Eagles. Monangai contributed significantly to this total, earning a notable 39.8 fantasy points alongside teammate D’Andre Swift.
Monangai has achieved double-digit fantasy points in three consecutive games. As the Bears prepare to face the Green Bay Packers, his performance will be crucial in the upcoming week. Fantasy managers should monitor his availability closely, as he could play a pivotal role in the playoffs.
Bam Knight: A Must-Have Option
Bam Knight from the Arizona Cardinals is another player making waves. With 36.8% of fantasy managers including him in their rosters, Knight recently scored 16.8 fantasy points in a challenging game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His consistent scoring over the last few weeks makes him a viable option as the Cardinals gear up to face the Rams this weekend.
With Trey Benson dealing with an ongoing knee injury, Knight’s value could rise even further. He has shown the ability to deliver solid performances when given the opportunity, making him a candidate for deeper leagues.
Other Notable Performers to Watch
- Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals: Brissett continues to impress with weekly top-10 performances, scoring 19.64 points in a recent game.
- Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars: Rostered in 33.9% of leagues, Lawrence scored 21.66 points this week and faces a tougher challenge against the Colts.
- Tyrod Taylor, New York Jets: With 21.28 points in his last game, Taylor presents a streaming option against the Miami Dolphins.
Deep-League Options Worth Considering
For those in deeper league formats, several other players might emerge as potential additions:
- Adonai Mitchell, Jets: Scored 24.2 points recently, making him a strong candidate for further games.
- Chris Rodriguez Jr., Washington: With four rushing touchdowns over his last six games, he could be a valuable pick-up.
As Week 14 approaches, fantasy managers must evaluate their lineups carefully. Kyle Monangai and Bam Knight stand out as essential additions for those looking to strengthen their rosters and make a playoff push.
