2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ward, who turns 32 this season, followed DeMeco Ryans to Houston from San Francisco this offseason. He's maintained a productive career over nine seasons, playing both cornerback and safety. He missed time to start 2022 due to a hamstring issue and later missed a game due to a broken hand. Ward recorded 50 tackles, five passes defensed, three interceptions and one forced fumble over what amounted to 11 games and one snap. He's expected to play strong safety alongside second-year man Jalen Pitre under defensive coordinator Matt Burke. Read Past Outlooks

With Jaquiski Tartt currently unsigned, Ward will become the veteran leader of the 49ers secondary at 31 years of age. The hybrid defensive back primarily stuck in the free safety role last season, setting new career highs in tackles (77) and interceptions (two). With slot extraordinaire K'Waun Williams no longer in town, Ward could see more snaps at the nickel in heavy-box formations. No matter the position he plays, Ward provides a unique mix of contributions across the board to generate some IDP interest.
