#86 Hines Ward   Pos: Wide Receiver NFL Team: PIT Injury: OK Experience: 14 College: Georgia Height: 72 Weight: 205 Born: 3/8/1976  Year   Tm   Gm   Catch   Yds   TDs   Tgt   Rush   Yds   TDs   Fum  PROJ PIT 62 788 5 0 0 0 0 2010 PIT 16 59 755 5 93 1 -2 0 1 2009 PIT 16 95 1167 6 137 0 0 0 1 2008 PIT 16 82 1047 7 - 0 0 0 0 2007 PIT 13 71 732 7 - 3 11 0 0 SUMMARY Wide Receiver Rank: #39    Overall: #116 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. 2012-02-04 13:33:10 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward (ankle) recently underwent surgery to remove bone fragments in his right ankle. Fantasy Impact: Ward wants to continue to play but not sure it is in his best interest at this point. He doesn't have a whole lot left. Source: KFFL.com 2012-02-02 14:53:10 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward said he expects to return to the team next season and is willing to take a pay cut. Ward is scheduled to make $4 million in the next two seasons. Fantasy Impact: We wouldn't write this in stone but it looks like there is a decent chance he plays another year with the Steelers. Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-18 08:53:13 Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney is not ready to say if WR Hines Ward will be back for 2012 or not. Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-11 09:03:13 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward said he is willing to take a pay cut if that means he can remain with the team next season. 'I'd probably have to restructure my contract,' Ward said. 'That's fine with me. I recognize that. I'm telling you I want to be here, I'm telling you I'm willing to do that. And I understand the ramifications - we have the cap number and stuff, but I want to be here.' Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-10 12:33:13 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward is due a roster bonus in March. The Steelers must decide whether they will pay that bonus, which means they want to keep him for 2012, or release him. There is a sense that some Steelers coaches do not want Ward back, as he no longer can get separation from defenders. Fantasy Impact: It would make sense for the Steelers to just cut ties with him but you never know. Ward could return because he is a franchise icon. Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-09 18:43:12 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward will have to be willing to take a pay cut if he wants to remain with the team next season. Fantasy Impact: Ward is likely to just hang it up. Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-09 11:43:11 The popular sentiment within the Pittsburgh Steelers is that WR Hines Ward will soon announce his retirement, according to an anonymous Steelers player. Fantasy Impact: It makes sense after this past season. Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-08 23:53:11 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward was asked after the team's stunning Wild Card game loss against the Denver Broncos whether he would be back in 2012. 'I'm not even thinking about that,' Ward said Sunday, Jan. 8. Ward's production was way down this season, as he had just 46 catches for 381 yards and two scores in 15 games (nine starts). Each of those numbers were his lowest since his rookie season of 1998. Fantasy Impact: Ward might be done after doing very little this season. Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-01 23:33:19 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward had five grabs for 24 yards in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns. Ward has not had more than 32 receiving yards since Week 6. His season high was 67 yards, set back in Week 1. He was able to snag his 1,000th career reception, becoming the eighth player in NFL history to accomplish that feat. Source: KFFL.com 2011-12-23 09:43:10 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward said he has no plans to retire after this season and if he does not play for the Steelers in 2012 it will not be his choice. 'I have two years left on my contract,' Ward said. 'I'm not even thinking that this is my last one. If the organization decides to, I have no control over that. But, for me, I'm not even thinking this is my last game ever (at Heinz Field). I feel fine. I feel like I can play another year or two if I want to.' Source: KFFL.com
