2025 Fantasy Outlook
Indianapolis made Ward one of the NFL's highest-paid cornerbacks via a three-year, $60 million contract this offseason in attempt to finally shore up a secondary that's ranked among the team's weaknesses in recent seasons. Hamstring and knee injuries, as well as personal issues, forced him to miss five games in 2024, but he played all 17 games with the 49ers in both 2023 and 2022, while ranking as one of the league's top outside corners. He'll form a formidable starting tandem on the outside across from Jaylon Jones. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $60 million deal with the Colts in March of 2025.
In concussion protocol
Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters that Ward is in concussion protocol after displaying symptoms Monday morning, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite being in concussion protocol Monday morning, Ward played 100 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps in Week 1, recording six total tackles. The veteran corner signed a three-year, $60 million deal with Indianapolis this past offseason after spending the last three years of his career with the 49ers, earning second-team All-Pro honors in 2023. His practice participation throughout the week will likely serve as the best indication of whether he can suit up for a Week 2 matchup against the Broncos on Sunday.

The 27-year-old recorded 72 tackles while posting a career-best five interceptions across 17 starts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May want to play closer to home
Ward could prioritize being closer to his girlfriend and their newborn son in Texas when choosing a landing spot in free agency, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The couple endured an unimaginable tragedy in October when they lost their one-year-old daughter, so Ward's desire to be near his family is entirely understandable. The 28-year-old cornerback is likely to draw plenty of interest in free agency, but it's not clear if either the Texans or Cowboys have Ward on their radar.
