Darius Leonard
LB - IND
Expert Note
View More NotesHe's back! After missing the last three games, prior to the Week 6 bye, due to a concussion. This ranking is a statement that I believe Leonard steps right in to a full workload. The Texans have allowed 126 total tackles, and six sacks to opposing LBs in 2019. Look for Leonard to have a big Week 7.

Darius Leonard (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard like a decent bet to return from a two-game absence after practicing in limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday, but he ultimately wasn't on track to gain clearance from all five phases of the NFL's concussion protocol prior to Sunday. Expect Anthony Walker to fill Leonard's usual spot on the weak side for another game, opening up the middle linebacker spot for rookie Bobby Okereke.
