Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Young RB with proof and a long runway.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.

Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyMonangai ran for 100 yards and caught 2 passes in 2026, finishing RB11. Finish path matters here: RB29 → RB11 is a breakout, not a development pitch. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
