Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should be healthy by training camp
The left ankle/foot injury Ward suffered in a minicamp practice isn't expected to impact his availability for training camp, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cleveland can breathe a sigh of relief, as the last thing either party needed after agreeing to a five-year, $100.5 million extension was an injury-related absence for Ward. The standout cornerback has notched double-digit passes defensed and more than 40 tackles in each of his first four seasons.

A deep statistical analysis of Ward's 2022 season indicates the worst coverage grade of his five years, but fantasy football doesn't operate like that. Value comes from making plays and Ward does that despite seeing fewer targets than others in the cornerback rotation. In 2022, he finished with 15 passes defensed, three interceptions and two fumble recoveries for touchdowns. For his career, Ward scored four touchdowns and was responsible for 18 turnovers. He's the pivotal player in a deep secondary and typically draws an opponent's best wideout.
