2014
Leno hasn't missed a start since 2015 and hasn't missed a game since his 2014 rookie season. Not bad for a seventh-round pick, and while he's never been dominant, he gives the Commanders a solid starter at left tackle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Meeting with Washington
Leno has a visit with the Football Team lined up, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Leno was somewhat inconsistent during his tenure as Chicago's top left tackle, but he at least proved an ability to play at a high level when surrounded by the right talent. If things don't immediately work out with Washington, it seems likely that Leno will draw interest from other teams in need of help at the tackle spot, with the Colts being one such candidate.
