Denzel Ward News
Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (knee) is expected to play in Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Houston Texans despite injuring his knee in practice on Thursday. Ward was listed as questionable on the final injury report, but he is set to play, which will be a big boost to a Cleveland secondary that will be missing star safety Grant Delpit (groin). The 26-year-old Ward and the Browns defense has a tough challenge on their hands to try and slow down impressive rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and receiver Nico Collins on the road, but they have the personnel to get it done, especially now that Ward should be active. The Browns defense/special teams unit ranked seventh all year in total fantasy points and should be a popular DFS lineup option for wild-card weekend.
Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (shoulder) is officially active for the Week 15 contest on Sunday against the visiting Chicago Bears. Ward hurt his shoulder in Week 11 and was forced to miss the last three games, but he'll be returning this weekend to help a beat up Browns defense. The 26-year-old's return boosts Cleveland's secondary and will make life much harder on Bears top wideout DJ Moore. Despite the fact that the Browns defense hasn't been the lockdown unit that they were earlier in the year when they were fully healthy, they still deserve to be started in all fantasy leagues in a matchup against Chicago at home.
Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (shoulder) is inactive yet again in Week 14 as the team faces the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. Cleveland's top cornerback will miss his third straight game due to a shoulder injury. With the 26-year-old still sidelined, Martin Emerson and Cameron Mitchell should continue to see more playing time in the Browns' secondary. Cleveland's defense is still strong, but they'll continue to be a bit more vulnerable through the air as they look to slow down Jacksonville's offense. Surprisingly, Lawrence is active for the Jags despite suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 13. The Browns D will have more of a challenge now that they aren't facing backup C.J. Beathard, but they could still put up some decent points in fantasy if they can get to Lawrence in the pocket.
