2. Leonard Floyd

Here is when Chicago Bears fans get mad. Remember, I am not rooting for this. I am presenting a case based on the idea that players are going to slump. It could certainly be Leonard Floyd as well.

Floyd has a great rookie season. compiling seven sacks. However, he comes into 2018 off of a torn ACL and a down year statistically. One thing to note with Floyd is that of his 11.5 career sacks, 7.5 have come over four games. When he has the advantage, he takes advantage. However, he has not stepped his game up, and he has not won many ones on one matchups.

Entering his third season, he will have to show a progression in that area. On top of that, he will have to show his health and progression in that area as well. It is easy to see a potential re-group season as he picks back up onto his pace.
