According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Chicago Bears have claimed former first-rounder T Alex Leatherwood off of the waiver wire from the Las Vegas Raiders. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Leatherwood had a rough rookie season in Las Vegas, but Chicago is in desperate need of OL help for sophomore QB Justin Fields. Leatherwood provides a low-risk, high-reward play for the Bears who can capitalize on a former high draft pick without having to sink the capital for it. Whether or not it pans out, Chicago at least gets another dart to throw in providing Fields with help.
