2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Will be ready for camp
Ward (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery in February, but he should be ready for training camp according to GM John Lynch, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Ward had previously announced the surgery via his Instagram in February, but details of what the procedure was for and recovery time were absent. His ability to be ready to take the field for camp should have him suiting up Week 1 in 2024, assuming the 27-year-old doesn't suffer any setbacks in his recovery.

Brandon Aiyuk's acceleration and ball-tracking skills could spell trouble for Kansas City's middling safeties, but first the Niners need to keep DL Chris Jones off of Brock Purdy.
Everyone agrees that Lamar Jackson needs to be blitzed, but just how much pressure should the Chiefs bring this Sunday?
The Chiefs' passing game has mostly been disappointing this year, but Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce both played well last week and now face a banged-up Buffalo secondary in the divisional round.
Facing a tough defense with the bull's eye on him, Sunday's showdown with Buffalo will help clarify just how good Rashee Rice can be.
Latest Fantasy Rumors
Keen to face old team in Super Bowl
Ward -- who was a member of the Chiefs' 2019 Super Bowl LIV victory -- told reporters Monday at Super Bowl LVIII Opening Night that "it's gonna be fun" to face his old team Sunday, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ward started his NFL career in 2018 as an undrafted free agent with the Chiefs and worked his way into a starting role on the defense in his second season. He was a major contributor to the Chiefs' Super Bowl LIV run and finished that regular season with 74 tackles, 10 passes defended, two interceptions and one forced fumble. Ward signed a three-year, $40.5 million contract with the 49ers in March of 2022 and set a career high with 87 tackles in 2022 and a career-best five interceptions in 2023. Facing his old team Sunday, Ward should be able to provide the Niners' defense with insights into how to stop Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City offense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
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.
