Jimmie Ward Fantasy

The Houston Texans have signed safety Jimmie Ward, according to Aaron Wilson. The nine-year veteran has spent his entire career with the San Francisco 49ers. However, the former first rounder was turned from starter to situational player last season. That being said, Ward has decided to sign elsewhere, so he can be a starter. He reunites with former defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans in Houston. Ward has played both safety and defensive back throughout his career. It's uncertain which he's going to play in Houston, but regardless this is an upgrade to their defense.

The San Francisco 49ers activated defensive back Jimmie Ward to their active roster ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the Carolina Panthers. The 31-year-old sustained a hamstring injury in August and was placed on Injured Reserve, forcing him to miss the first four games of the season. Ward has finished top-three on the 49ers in tackles in each of the past three seasons and led the team in interceptions with two in 2021. He figures to be a great addition to what has already been a stout defense to begin the 2022 campaign.

San Francisco 49ers defensive back Jimmie Ward (hamstring) was placed on the injured reserve list on Wednesday. As a result, he will miss at least four games, although he could be out longer. The veteran has played his entire career with the Niners, accumulating 401 total tackles (303 solo), 39 passes defensed, six forced fumbles, four picks, and three sacks. With that said, Ward hasn't been a serviceable fantasy option throughout the years, so managers aren't likely to lose any sleep over the latest update.
