Fantasy Impact
With linebacker Dee Ford likely to receive the franchise tag and Houston set to make $15.25 million in base salary in 2019, and to cost $21.1 million against the cap, it makes sense that the team would be willing to move the veteran. Houston recorded 11 sacks in 14 games (including postseason) during the 2018 season. He has spent his entire eight year career with the Chiefs since they selected him in the third round of the 2011 draft.
