28-Year-Old CornerbackCB
San Francisco 49ers
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

Ward (personal) returned to the 49ers on Monday, David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard reports.
ANALYSIS
The starting cornerback missed the last two games following the recent passing of his one-year-old daughter. Ward's return should put him on track to play in Week 12 against the Packers. The seventh-year pro has 35 tackles (26 solo) and five passes defensed in seven games this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
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.

Might leave Niners in free agency
CBSan Francisco 49ers
November 18, 2024
The 49ers may not have the cap space to re-sign Ward in the offseason, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback is a solid piece of the San Francisco secondary, but he's viewed as a top-10 player at his position by some evaluators and Ward may simply be priced out of the team's plans in 2025 once he reached free agency. Ward will turn 29 years old over the summer and should get a raise on his $13 million salary from 2024.
