Leonard Floyd

Leonard Floyd (abdomen) will play in Week 17's game against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Floyd was held out of practice with abdomen pains but is good to go for Sunday’s matchup against the Cardinals. He’s having a career year with 9.5 sacks and makes for a solid IDP option.

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to a one-year deal with former Chicago Bears first-round pick Leonard Floyd, according to a report from NFL insider Tom Pelissero.

Fantasy Impact

With Donte Fowler Jr. agreeing to a deal with the Atlanta Falcons earlier in the day, the Rams moved to quickly replace him on the edge with Floyd. Floyd only had three sacks in 16 games for the Bears last season, but the Rams are clearly hoping that a change of scenery can result in increased production on a one-year deal.

Bears are releasing former first-round draft pick Leonard Floyd.

Fantasy Impact

This news comes just moments after the Bears announced that they are signing Robert Quinn to a five-year deal to play opposite of Khalil Mack. Floyd has showed some promise throughout with career as an athletic pass-rusher, but his fifth-year option was a bit to much for the Bears' liking and they will let him walk. Floyd will almost certainly be signed to a new team within the coming days. After 7.0 sacks his rookie season in 12 games, he failed to crack more than 4.5 in a season and saw his sack total regress in each of his four seasons as a pro. Still, a change of scenery can help the former first-rounder get his career back on track. Best case scenario for Floyd would be to land somewhere where he'll have a limited role and good coaching.

Leonard Floyd finished Thursday nights 10-3 loss to Green Bay with four total tackles and two sacks.

Fantasy Impact

Floyd racked up two of the five sacks that the Bears had on Aaron Rodgers Thursday night. It will be interesting to see if that speaks more to Green Bay's offensive line or the dominant Bears defense. Either way, IDP owners in deeper leagues should look at Floyd if he is available to add off of waivers.

Leonard Floyd racked up two sacks and six solo tackles during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Floyd has shown flashes this season, and this might have been another flash type of situation. He is worth watching in deeper IDP leagues, but in most formats, he can be left on waivers.
