2011 Outlook
Depth Chart
Ward finally showed his age last year, posting his lowest receiving total since his injury-shortened 2007 campaign. Removing that season, his 755 receiving yards in 2010 was his lowest total since 2000, his third year in the league. A knee injury may have hindered him last season, but with Mike Wallace now firmly entrenched as the team’s top wide receiver, and with second-year players Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown coming off solid rookie seasons, Ward will likely struggle to match even his 2010 production. He is little more than a possession receiver at this point. While the temptation will be to draft him as a WR3 based on his previous production, he should be considered a backup or a solid flex option for leagues that employ the position.

News From The Past 90 Days
Ward to take pay cut to stay a Steeler?     -- Wed Jan 11 8:05 pm --

Veteran WR willing to restructure contract
Hines Ward wants to make a few things perfectly clear: He wants to play for the Steelers in 2012, but, if they do not want him, he still wants to play next season. "I'd probably have to restructure my contract," Ward said of the pay cut. "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." (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

FF Today's Take: With Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and even Emmanuel Sanders situated ahead of him in the Steelers' receiving pecking order, Hines Ward's career isn't over but his value as a reliable fantasy option is at an all-time low.
Hines Ward considering retirement     -- Mon Jan 9 10:14 am --

Veteran wideout failed to record a reception vs. Broncos
Did Hines Ward play his last game? It appears he might have. A Steelers player texted to me the expectations around the team was that Ward would soon announce his retirement. That doesn't mean it's set he will. That means some Steelers players believe it which means it's likely to happen. (CBSSports)

FF Today's Take: Hines Ward fell completely off the fantasy map in 2011, yielding to Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown to lead the passing attack. Nevertheless, he has been a productive fantasy wideout for over ten years, highlighted by his 2002 campaign. That season, Ward hauled in 112 balls for 12 touchdowns and over 1300 yards receiving.
