Kyle Monangai's buy-low window might still be open ahead of his second pro season
May is here, and spring is in the air. For most dynasty leagues, that means it’s “Rookie Draft SZN.” Here are some veteran players with what could be fast-approaching expiration dates. Sell these guys now, before their value, in some cases waning already, tanks completely. PlayerProfiler is home to award-winning dynasty rankings and tools.

Ricky Pearsall currently has a clear runway to an absolute, well, shit-ton of volume in 2026. More than likely, he still has some cachet among your league mates due to his first-round draft capital. Adding to the hype are his ties to offensive wiz Kyle Shanahan and apparent franchise quarterback, Brock Purdy. Looks like another week of no Ricky Pearsall. Disappointing because he looked good when healthy. https://t.co/fA1Le4w9Q9 pic.twitter.com/9QEm6d1ogK — Dynasty FF Wolf (@DynastyFFWolf) October 30, 2025 Here’s the thing, though, Pearsall has yet to play anything close to a full season. He missed the first six weeks of his rookie season in 2024 after suffering a gunshot wound in August. Then, last year, he endured separate knee and ankle injuries, causing him to miss another eleven games. The former Florida Gator’s aforementioned value will evaporate should he sustain another injury. Given the perceived opportunity share coming his way this year, managers could be clamoring to get a piece of the Shanahan offense. D’Andre Swift had a bit of a renaissance last year. He finished as the RB16 on a points-per-game basis, averaging a healthy 4.9 yards per carry on 223 totes. Unforeseen, however, was the emergence of seventh-round selection Kyle Monangai. Monangai averaged 4.6 yards per carry while earning a 41.5% Opportunity Share . Furthermore, as the Chicago offense continues to evolve under head coach Ben Johnson, the passing game will become increasingly more prevalent. Furthermore, Swift is 27 years old. Now is the time to see if you can’t squeeze some value out of him. Unlike A.J. Brown, this “new face, new place” player, D.J. Moore, is officially on his new team. In 2025, the former Terp saw his lowest output in targets, receptions, and yards since his rookie year. While it isn’t certain exactly what led to this decrease in production, it became evident that he was expendable in Chicago. Now in Buffalo, Moore is primed to be quarterback Josh Allen’s No. 1 target. The value spike for Moore stemming from his attachment to Allen presents the perfect time to cash out on the nearly 30-year-old wideout. Allen needed a vertical separator who can work well on lvl 3. And he gets……a 29 year old DJ Moore who works best with manufactured targets & touches. https://t.co/6Bf48xOgWP — AngeloFF (@angelo_fantasy) March 5, 2026 Over the course of his career, Moore has been an inconsistent fantasy asset. In his best statistical season, 2023, he still posted five single-digit fantasy performances and three more at just over 10 points. Take advantage of Moore’s perceived value now, before the Bills’ run-heavy offense and his own inconsistencies bring it back down. Josh Downs had career lows across the stat sheet last year, aside from touchdowns, of which he had four. However, Michael Pittman’s departure has many gamers believing that Downs is in line for a massive uptick in target share. While this is, of course, in the range of outcomes, the much more likely scenario is that Downs will be the third, if not fourth, option in this offense. Downs has been a fantasy darling since entering the league in 2023, but he has yet to reach anything close to his ceiling. Get out now, before it becomes apparent he won’t reach it this year either. Chuba Hubbard has served the Panthers well since being thrust into a starting role back in 2023. But last year, he ceded lots of work to Rico Dowdle, who is now with the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Dowdle now gone, you may [... truncated ...]
Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai finished his rookie season as the fantasy RB30, and his situation appears stable heading into Year 2. The 2025 seventh-round pick got off to a predictably slow start and spent most of the season in a change-of-pace role behind D'Andre Swift, but he flashed moments of fantasy dominance that could show up with more regularity in his second season. From Weeks 7 through 13, which included a Week 9 contest missed by Swift and in which Monangai ran for 176 yards, the rookie was the RB11, scoring five touchdowns over that stretch. The Bears made no changes to the position through either free agency or the draft, suggesting a comfort level with how things went last season. Monangai's ceiling will be limited as long as Swift is in the lineup, but he has already provided glimpses of what he can do with a full workload, and he saw more usage in the passing game down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs. If that trend continues, RotoBaller's dynasty RB28 could add standalone value beyond what he offers as an insurance back
