Byard recorded nine tackles, including five solo, in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday. Byard delivered his highest tackle total of the season, surpassing his usual range of five to seven stops that he's posted in 11 contests. He also has six interceptions on the year, providing consistent splash-play upside from the secondary. The combination keeps him in the high-floor IDP tier.

Byard totaled two tackles (both solo) in Sunday's 31-3 win over Cleveland. Byard was part of a stifling Bears secondary that limited Shedeur Sanders to no touchdown tosses and picked off three passes, but the veteran safety posted a quiet stat line individually. His two tackles tied a season-low mark following a seven-game stretch during which he notched no fewer than five stops. Byard is still putting together an excellent campaign, as he leads the NFL with six interceptions.

Byard recorded six tackles (four solo) during Friday's 24-15 win at Philadelphia. After Friday's contest, Byard has now collected exactly six tackles in four of his last seven games. He's doing enough to keep up a near every-down role at safety, but his per-snap production has lagged compared to last season, keeping him off the IDP radar in most formats.

Byard registered five tackles and one interception in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday. Byard has posted between five and seven tackles in eight of 10 contests, and this was his fifth interception of the season and first in his last four games. He offers a stable IDP floor with interception upside.

Byard registered six tackles (five solo) during the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday. Byard was working through back and ankle injuries during Week 10 prep, but those issues didn't appear to bother him Sunday as he was able to play every single defensive snap. The veteran safety has recorded at least five stops in seven of nine regular-season games and is up to 48 tackles (36 solo) and five pass defenses (four interceptions) on the year.
