I can buy he's a legit NFL player, but we need to compare him to Swift. What would Swift have done against the Bengals with the same touches?He gained almost 200 total yards in his first career start. Yes, he’s legit.Are we really putting a lot of stock into the game against the Bengals? I don't believe it changes anything if Swift is 100%. Forget the blocking stuff (which is important), but Swift is way more dynamic and a much better receiver. The way Monangai has to gain yardage is a tough road to hoe in the NFL.
That said, I can see Monangai earning a decent split even if Swift is healthy...more if they're still concerned about the groin injury.
Look at the top RBs in the league. Most all of them have dynamic traits. I'm not saying Monangai is a scrub, but he's best used as a role player.
