FlurrySports gives the best Underdog Fantasy NFL DFS picks for the Packers vs Bears NFL Playoffs Wild Card Weekend game, including Kyle Monangai.
For Wild Card Weekend of the 2026 NFL Playoffs, we are treated to a classic matchup between the seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers and second-seeded Chicago Bears. In the NFL’s oldest rivalry, this will be just the third time that these two teams meet in the playoffs and just the second time in the Super Bowl era.
When looking to break down this game for NFL DFS picks, Chicago has the advantage in the injury department, as Green Bay has suffered a number of devastating injuries, but Jordan Love and the skill positions look like they are as healthy as they have been all season long. Using Underdog Fantasy, I looked through the projections for all of the available players in this game and picked my favorite three NFL DFS picks.

Underdog Fantasy NFL DFS Picks: Packers vs Bears NFL Playoffs
Romeo Doubs HIGHER 16.5 Yards Longest Reception
With Jordan Love back under center in this game, this is the healthiest that the Packers’ offensive skill players have been all season long. With that being the case, Love is expected to be at the luxury of getting all of his receivers involved as he normally does. That bodes well for Romeo Doubs, who is likely to see himself put in situations where he will see number two and single coverage at times. When it comes to needing a 50/50 catch, Doubs is the best in Green Bay at coming down with those. That means that Love will be able to take a couple of shots this game to Doubs when needed.
This season, the Bears have struggled against the pass. Chicago ranked 22nd this season in passing yards given up this season, at 227.2 per game. Matt LaFleur and Love will be able to move the ball in this game through the air, which makes this line seem low for Doubs. On the season, Doubs has gone higher than this line in 12 games, including going higher in the Week 16 matchup featuring these two teams.
Xavier McKinney HIGHER 6.5 Tackles + Assists
At the start of the season, it appeared that with Micah Parsons, the Packers employed one of the better defenses in the NFL. That quickly dwindled as Green Bay got destroyed with injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Parsons, Devonte Wyatt and Quay Walker all missed games this season, which led opposing teams to start relying on the run game to beat Green Bay. In this matchup, Green Bay will be without both Parsons and Wyatt again, meaning that Chicago will look to establish a run game to help Caleb Williams settle into his first playoff game.
Xavier McKinney has worked well in run support for the Packers this season, as he has totaled more than 6.5 tackles + assists in eight games. That includes three out of Green Bay’s last four games in which McKinney played. In Green Bay’s Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, which featured 53 rushing attempts by the Ravens, McKinney finished the game with 13 tackles + assists. On top of Chicago’s run game, Williams has utilized Colston Loveland and Luther Burden more in the pass game, working the intermediate part of the field, somewhere that McKinney often frequents.
Kyle Monangai HIGHER 8.25 Fantasy Points
Speaking of Green Bay’s struggles at stopping the run in recent games, I had to find my favorite of these Underdog Fantasy NFL DFS picks for a Bears running back in this game. That landed me on Kyle Monangai’s fantasy point total. As the season has come to an end, Chicago has opted to use close to a 60/40 split when it comes to their running back room. Underdog Fantasy uses Half-PPR scoring for their fantasy point projections, so that means that Monangai needs to go higher on this line in about 39 offensive snaps in this game.
Monangai sees around 10 rushing attempts per game. He totaled 23 rushing attempts against Green Bay this season, which averages out to about 12 per game. That is certainly enough to put together around 60 yards, as the Packers have given up 5.4 yards per rush in their last three games. What has worked for Monangai when it comes to fantasy points is his involvement in the receiving game. Over Chicago’s last three games, the Rutgers alum has totaled seven receptions. If Monangai falls into the end zone (Green Bay has given up 15 this season), then finding 2.26 more points will be fairly easy.
