Denzel Ward Fantasy

Cleveland Browns cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) were both practicing in full on Thursday, signaling that they'll return in Week 8 against the Patriots after sitting out since Week 2. It's good news for Cleveland's secondary as they try to spring the upset on the undefeated Patriots on the road. New England's receiving corps is a bit suspect now that Josh Gordon (knee) is out of the picture. It'll likely be Julian Edelman, rookie Jakobi Meyers and newly acquired Mohamed Sanu in three-wide sets this weekend. The Browns Defense/special teams should be avoided by fantasy owners.

Cleveland Browns starting cornerbacks Denzel Ward (hamstring) and Greedy Williams (hamstring) are both unlikely to play against the Ravens. With the team also potentially missing safety Morgan Burnett (quad), among others in Week 4, the door is open for an uptick in production from quarterback Lamar Jackson, wide receiver Marquise Brown, and possibly tight end Mark Andrews (foot) against an already mediocre Browns Defense.

Cleveland Browns lockdown cornerback Denzel Ward (hamstring) is not expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Ward suffered a hamstring strain during practice this week and he is looking unlikely to take the field. Meanwhile, the team is more optimistic about rookie corner Greedy Williams (hamstring). If Ward is unable to play, that would be a huge boost to the Los Angeles wide receivers, namely Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks. In just over a year, Ward has established himself as one of the better lockdown corners in the NFL. His absence would create a huge void in the Cleveland secondary on Sunday night. You were probably starting them in season-long leagues anyways but both Woods and Cooks become much more interesting for DFS slates that include the Sunday night game.
