Fantasy Impact
Leonard led the team with eight tackles (four solo) with one interception and two passes defensed in Sunday night’s playoff-clinching 33-17 victory. The second-rounder is a favorite to take home defensive rookie of the year honors for his performance this season. He finished the regular season with a league-leading 163 tackles, seven sacks, four forced fumbles, and two interceptions in 15 games. The Colts will see the Texans on Wild Card weekend.
