Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2016
Ward played in all 17 games for the Giants last season and started 11 of them, finishing with career-best marks of 43 tackles, four pass defenses and two forced fumbles while also notching three sacks. Though it was his first year in New York, it was his third campaign in defensive coordinator Wink Martindale's system, where he's proven to be a nice fit. It's no surprise, then, that the Giants re-signed Ward in the offseason. He's not a star but will be a part of the team's pass-rush rotation behind Kayvon Thibodeaux and Azeez Ojulari.
