Byard recorded eight tackles (two solo) and an interception in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Byard finished with 93 tackles and eight passes defended, including seven interceptions, marking his sixth season with at least four interceptions. He consistently posted between five and seven tackles across most outings, maintaining steady weekly value. He is set to hit free agency but remains an excellent IDP option heading into his age-32 season.

Byard (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. Byard opened the Bears' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions due to an ankle issue, but it now appears he'll suit up Sunday. The 32-year-old is one of the league's top ball hawks, recording 83 total tackles and seven passes defensed, including six interceptions, over 15 appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start alongside Jaquan Brisker in the Bears' secondary in Week 17.

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.
