Charvarius Ward Fantasy

Kansas City Chiefs restricted free-agent cornerback Charvarius Ward signed his second-round tender on Wednesday, according to his agent, Kevin Conner. Ward's second-round tender is worth $3.384 million in 2021. He entered the league in 2018 with the Dallas Cowboys after going undrafted. Kansas City acquired Ward in a trade before the regular season, and he started two games in 2018 before becoming a mainstay with the Chiefs first-team defense the last two seasons. The 25-year-old has 94 solo tackles, two interceptions, 16 passes defensed, one forced fumble and one sack in 30 games (29 starts) over the last two years for KC. Ward projects to start at the left cornerback position for the Chiefs in 2021.

Kansas City Chiefs starting cornerback Charvarius Ward (hand) suffered a fractured hand in Thursday night's win over the Texans and will be re-evaluated on Friday to determine how much time he will miss. Ward will have surgery on his broken hand, but based on the position he plays, it wouldn't be unprecedented if he puts a cast on it and plays through it. The team also has three extra days to get ready for their Week 2 game against the Chargers. The Chiefs secondary that looked really good on Thursday night in slowing down quarterback Deshaun Watson basically until garbage time late in the fourth quarter with the game already sealed up. The Chiefs Defense was in play as a starting fantasy unit for Week 1, and they lived up to that billing on Thursday night. They should be an acceptable starting unit next week, too, as they face the Chargers and quarterback Tyrod Taylor on the road.
