December 30, 2008 The Our View:Ward would be a solid upgrade for Denver as he broke out with 1,025 rushing yards as the top backup behind Brandon Jacobs in New York. Speaking of Jacobs, he is also set to become a free agent, and it remains to be seen if the Giants can re-sign both backs. |
|
December 28, 2008 Derrick Ward will start today's game in place of Brandon Jacobs (knee), according to Our View:Ward has a tough match-up against the Vikings on their home turf, but is worth fantasy consideration as he is only 52 rushing yards away from 1,000 despite serving as a backup behind Jacobs. He is averaging 5.7 yards per carry. |
|
December 21, 2008 Running back Brandon Jacobs (knee) was back and made the start for the Giants, but it was his backup Derrick Ward who continuously made big plays as the Giants clinched home field advantage in the playoffs. He finished with 215 yards on 15 carries and the Giants emerged victorious. Our View:Ward came up with one big run after another, including some very big plays in overtime. He did not get into the end zone, but his numbers were nonetheless very impressive. |
|
December 18, 2008 Running back Derrick Ward (ankle) was practicing again on Thursday after being held out of Wednesday's session, according to the Our View:Ward did a nice job filling in for Brandon Jacobs the past couple of weeks, but the big fella figures to be back for Sunday's showdown with the Panthers. |
|
December 17, 2008 Derrick Ward was held out of practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, according to the Our View:It’s unclear if Ward will play this weekend, but even if he does suit up, his work will likely be limited due to the fact Brandon Jacobs is expected to return to action. That said, Ward has received double-digit carries in seven of the last eight games, so assuming he plays, he’s usable as a flex option if you’re lacking better options. |
