Summary

Wide Receiver Rank: #339
Overall: #1017

Ward finally slowed some last season, catching 55 passes, his lowest total since 2000. He also failed to top 1,000 yards after back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Ward is 35 years old, though, and has missed just a handful of games his entire career, so a decline isn't a surprise at this stage of the game. But Ward can still post the big game. He had four 100-yard games last season and scored touchdowns two of the three playoff games for the Steelers. Ward is more of a possession receiver at this stage of his career, but still has some big-play ability. Ward has great hands and runs very good routes. He'll continue to start in a Steelers offense that isn't afraid to air it out.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Ward is slowing down but remains a viable fantasy option. He isn't likely to top 1,000 yards again, but he can get you around 60 catches for 800 yards and five touchdowns. Ward is worth a reserve spot and some spot starts for your fantasy team. He isn't done just yet.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward could have difficulty finding another team to play for once he officially hits the open market. A team looking for a veteran presence at the wideout position may show interest, however.

Fantasy Impact: Ward will not be a hot item on free agency but we are guessing he finds work.
