2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that a return date for Ward (personal) has not been discussed, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Ward has been away from the team since its game versus the Cowboys in Week 8 due to a serious personal matter, and the 49ers are showing him grace as he takes time to work through it. He'll decide for himself if and when to return to football activities this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
Ward had a successful first season in red and gold, posting a career-high 87 tackles while forcing two turnovers over 17 healthy games in 2022. He was constantly lining up against the opposition's top threat, most notably holding Seahawks' star wideout DK Metcalf to 90 yards and no touchdowns in two regular-season meetings. Expect the 27-year-old Ward to continue serving as the 49ers' No. 1 corner this year.
The prized jewel of a quiet offseason in San Francisco, Ward brings a balanced skill set to a secondary that lacked durability or depth in 2021. He missed a career-high four games last season for the Chiefs, but he appears primed to line up opposite Emmanuel Moseley or Jason Verrett with the 49ers. From a fantasy perspective, Ward doesn't stand out in any particular stat category as a cornerback.
Ward topped the Chiefs' cornerbacks in snap count last season, going over 900 for the season while posting 49 tackles (36 solo), one sack and six passes defensed over 13 games. The Chiefs placed a second-round restricted tender on him this offseason to retain his rights for the 2021 campaign.
Ward emerged as a vital part of the Chiefs' defense in 2019, logging more than 1,000 defensive snaps while racking up 74 tackles (56 solo) to go along with two interceptions and a forced fumble. He's set to retain his starting role for Kansas City as one of the team's outside corners, though it remains to be seen who will be across from him with Breshaud Breeland's status in flux.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Carrying questionable tag in Week 3
CBSan Francisco 49ers
September 20, 2024
Ward is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Rams due to hamstring and knee soreness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran cornerback missed Thursday's practice altogether, but he was able to make it back to limited participation Friday. An absence by Ward, who recorded a career-high five interceptions and 23 total defensed passes over 17 regular-season games in 2023, may not be as difficult to overcome against the Rams as it would be otherwise, considering Los Angeles is down both Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua due to ankle and knee injuries, respectively.
