2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ward was limited to 10 games (during which he logged 50 tackles) because of a slew of injuries that nagged him all season. When he wasn't hurt, Ward played well, but he'll be 33-years-old to start the season. If healthy, Ward will start at in the secondary along with returning starters Jalen Pitre (safety) and Derek Stingley (cornerback). Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Injury-marred 2023
Ward (quadriceps) recorded 50 tackles, three passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble over 10 regular-season games in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Ward, a team captain, was beset by injuries all season long. He missed time due to hip, hamstring and shoulder injuries before a quadricep ended his season in December. In between the setbacks, Ward played well, and his one interception was an end-zone pick that sealed a win over Denver. Houston went 6-4 in games he played and could use his stabilizing presence on the back end. Ward turns 33 in July and will be entering his 11th season.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could follow coach to Houston
Ward might end up signing with the Texans after former 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans was hired to be Houston's new head coach, Matt Barrows of The Athletic speculates.
ANALYSIS
The Texans have an opening at safety next to 2022 second-round pick Jalen Pitre, and Ward will be an unrestricted free agent after the Super Bowl. The 31-year-old has spent his entire career in San Francisco, but his role dwindled this season due to the emergence of Talanoa Hufanga, and following Ryans to Houston to fill a starting role and help mentor the rest of the team's secondary could be appealing.
