Values are nearly even — within 5% of each other.Updated 9/18/2026
THE CASE FOR CROSKEY-MERRITT
Jacory Croskey-Merritt lands in Washington, a backfield with ambiguous roles behind Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler. At 25, he's older for a rookie but boasts strong size and power, which could earn him goal-line looks. His college production was efficient, and his value edges out Monangai by a slim margin in dynasty rankings. If he carves out a role, there's short-term upside in a fluid RB room.
THE CASE FOR MONANGAI
Kyle Monangai joins a crowded Bears backfield but is slightly younger at 24. He produced well at Rutgers and fits as a grinder with low mileage. Chicago's depth chart offers a path to touches if injuries hit, and his profile suggests he could fit in as an early-down back. His lower value reflects uncertainty, but the opportunity window is similar to Croskey-Merritt’s.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Slight preference for Croskey-Merritt due to a clearer short-term path and touchdown upside.
Go with Monangai’s youth and similar opportunity for long-term upside.
This is a razor-thin margin—either is a cheap flier with similar risk and reward.
