Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bears fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Last week, we asked you guys to give us your prediction for which Chicago Bears player would lead the team in receptions, and you picked tight end Colston Loveland by a landslide. So this week, let’s shift focus to the running game, and give us your pick for who will lead the team in rushing
yards.
D’Andre Swift has led the Bears in rushing both years he’s been in Chicago, with his 2025 setting a career high at 1,087. He started all 16 games he played in while amassing 621 snaps on offense. The 27-year-old seems primed to start again for the Bears in 2026, but his playing time may come down a bit with second-year pro Kyle Monangai proving himself as a rookie. In 2025, Monangai played in all 17 games (1 start), with 783 yards rushing in 478 offensive snaps.
Swift is a bit better in the passing game, and he averaged more per rush than Monangai (4.9 to 4.6), but Swift is heading into the final year of his deal, while Monangai, the soon-to-be 24-year-old, is locked up through 2028.
Vote in this week’s poll, and we’ll share the results in a few days. If you think it’ll be someone other than Swift or Monangai who leads Chicago in rushing in 2026, let us know who in the comments.
