Charvarius Ward Fantasy

Former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Charvarius Ward intends to sign a three-year deal worth up to $42 million, including $26.7 million guaranteed, with the San Francisco 49ers, according to his agency. Ward spent his first four seasons with the Chiefs and had 67 tackles (48 solo), two interceptions and 10 passes defensed in 13 regular season games (12 starts). The 25-year-old saw fewer overall defensive snaps for his second straight season, but he was more active and around the ball when he was healthy for KC's secondary. Ward will now take his talents to San Francisco after recording 222 total tackles (168 solo), three tackles for loss, three QB hits, four interceptions and 29 passes defensed in the last four years.

The Kansas City Chiefs placed cornerback Charvarius Ward on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Ward had a season-high 10 tackles in last Thursday's overtime win over the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, so KC's secondary will be missing a key member if Ward doesn't get cleared in time for a Week 16 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16. Defensive tackle Chris Jones and linebacker Willie Gay Jr. remain on the COVID list for the Chiefs defense, but they're hoping they'll both test negative before Sunday. Ward has collected 51 tackles (38 solo), one interception and eight passes defensed in 10 games played (nine starts) for the Chiefs in 2021. With three defensive touchdowns and 25 total turnovers in 14 games this year, KC's defense ranks fifth overall in fantasy and will be in play for fantasy managers against Pittsburgh this week.

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.
