How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Monangai scores 13.6 standard points a game, RB15 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 4.7 and 21.8; 2 boom weeks (12+) and 1 bust (under 5). This week the Seahawks allow the 11th-fewest standard points to RBs, 15.4 a game.
Monangai scores 14.2 half-PPR points a game, RB16 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 5.3 and 22.6; 2 boom weeks (16+) and 1 bust (under 6.5). This week the Seahawks allow the 13th-fewest half-PPR points to RBs, 18.1 a game.
Monangai scores 14.8 PPR points a game, RB16 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 5.9 and 23.4; 2 boom weeks (20+) and 2 busts (under 8). This week the Seahawks allow the 15th-fewest PPR points to RBs, 20.9 a game.
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the RB24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
He runs between the tackles: 82% of his carries go at guard or tackle (league 52%). The passing game barely involves him: 8% of his touches are targets (league 18%). His share of the team's touches is 15%: on third down it falls to 8%; inside the 20 it holds at 16%.
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own touches, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying backs; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Monangai's +6.3 EPA is 10th of 70 backs. The biggest share comes on runs (+5.8, 92nd percentile per carry). His incompletions rank in the 96th percentile (0.0).
career -0.02 over 2025 · the best of his 2 seasons so far
How this is measured
Every carry and target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. Runs are per carry, the receiving parts per target. The percentile is him among the qualifying backs, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 30 touches.

Touches are steady: 17.7 a game over his last three against 16.3 for the season. At or above a starter's median in yards in 3 of 4 games. Week 4 was his season high in yards.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 27th-toughest slate vs the run: his opponents rank 19.5 of 32 on average (league middle 16.6). Ahead: 4 of his next 10 are top-10 vs the run and 1 is bottom-10, starting with the Seahawks (3rd, away) in Week 8.
