2025 Fantasy Outlook
Indianapolis made Ward one of the NFL's highest-paid cornerbacks via a three-year, $60 million contract this offseason in attempt to finally shore up a secondary that's ranked among the team's weaknesses in recent seasons. Hamstring and knee injuries, as well as personal issues, forced him to miss five games in 2024, but he played all 17 games with the 49ers in both 2023 and 2022, while ranking as one of the league's top outside corners. He'll form a formidable starting tandem on the outside across from Jaylon Jones. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $54 million contract with the Colts in March of 2025.
Comes off IR, will play Sunday
The Colts activated Ward (concussion) off injured reserve Saturday, and he no longer has an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Ward missed Indianapolis' past five games while in concussion protocol. The veteran cornerback was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and logged a trio of practices without limitations this week to set up a return to action against Kansas City. Ward will presumably reclaim a starting role at cornerback Sunday, and he'll be lining up alongside new teammate Sauce Gardner, who Indianapolis acquired in a trade while Ward was sidelined.

2020
Ward turned in his best season in 2023 both as a pro and since joining the 49ers as a free agent one year prior. The 27-year-old recorded 72 tackles while posting a career-best five interceptions across 17 starts. Ward underwent offseason core muscle surgery, but all indications are that the team's top corner will be ready for training camp. The final year of Ward's three-year contract with San Francisco will be 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May want to play closer to home
Ward could prioritize being closer to his girlfriend and their newborn son in Texas when choosing a landing spot in free agency, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The couple endured an unimaginable tragedy in October when they lost their one-year-old daughter, so Ward's desire to be near his family is entirely understandable. The 28-year-old cornerback is likely to draw plenty of interest in free agency, but it's not clear if either the Texans or Cowboys have Ward on their radar.
