Ward caught three of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Ward has at least three catches in eight games this year but has now been held to 10 or fewer yards in two of his past three outings. He has held onto the third receiver's job so far despite the return of Alshon Jeffery, yet even prior to that, had only topped 45 yards in a game once all season. The 25-year-old will want to have a big game in a prime matchup against Seattle in Week 12 if he wants to keep earning opportunities going forward.

Ward caught five of his six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Ward has topped 40 yards just once this season, all the way back in Week 3. He does have three touchdowns on the year, but with most of the Eagles offense now healthy, there is a good chance his opportunities will only be reduced going forward.

Ward finished Sunday's 23-9 win over the Cowboys with three receptions for 10 yards on five targets.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Eagles welcomed two of their injured pass catchers in Jalen Reagor (thumb) and Dallas Goedert (lower leg/ankle) back to the lineup, their returns didn't affect Ward from a playing-time standpoint. Ward was on the field for 59 of the Eagles' 63 offensive snaps, but he couldn't take advantage of a suspect Cowboys secondary, as his 10 receiving yards were his second fewest of the season. Ward's situation isn't likely to improve in the second half of the season, as Alshon Jeffery (calf) and Miles Sanders (knee) could both re-enter the Eagles' pass-catching mix following the team's Week 9 bye.

Ward hauled in five of six targets for 42 yards and a touchdown and returned one punt for 11 yards in the Eagles' 22-21 win over the Giants on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
The converted college quarterback turned in a strong effort as a possession option for Carson Wentz throughout the night, Ward checked in second in receptions and third in targets, and his three-yard scoring grab with 4:38 remaining began the comeback from a 21-10 deficit. The 25-year-old had seen his catch total dwindle from four to two between Weeks 5 and 6, so Thursday's resurgence was a welcome sight. However, depending on the statuses of Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (leg) for a Week 8 battle against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 1, it's possible Ward is no better than the No. 4 wideout in that contest.

Ward brought in two of three targets for 19 yards in the Eagles' 30-28 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Ward saw the trio of Zach Ertz (ankle), Travis Fulgham and John Hightower outpace him in targets, leaving him as a complementary option during the loss. The 25-year-old had seen at least five targets in four of his first five contests heading into Week 6, so the reduced volume, especially with the Eagles still missing multiple members of their air attack, was especially disappointing. Ward will look to bounce back in a Thursday night Week 7 battle against the Giants, but there's a chance Philadelphia gets back any or all of Alshon Jeffery (foot), DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Dallas Goedert (IR-ankle) for that contest.

Ward recorded four receptions on five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Ward saw several fewer targets in comparison to recent weeks but still managed to haul in his second touchdown of the season on an eight-yard reception with six minutes remaining in the third quarter. Otherwise, he was surpassed by Travis Fulgham, who exploded for a 10-catch performance. With DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (foot/illness) nearing a return, Ward could be at risk of losing more targets in a Week 6 matchup against the Ravens.

Ward caught four of seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
With the majority of the Eagles' wideout corps sidelined, Ward became Carson Wentz's favorite target. Practice squad receiver Travis Fulgham caught the lone passing touchdown of the game, but Ward was clearly the top receiver while operating out of the slot. The former quarterback has PPR appeal heading into a matchup against the Steelers on Sunday after garnering 18 targets (12 receptions) over his previous two contests.

Ward was the only Eagles receiver on the 53-man roster to practice Thursday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
With DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Alshon Jeffery (foot), J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (calf), John Hightower (illness), all missing the session, the Eagles ran their offense with Ward, three practice squad players and Quez Watkins (upper body), who was just designated to return from IR on Tuesday. Even if Jackson is able to return despite not having practiced yet this week, Week 4 will still likely be another busy one for the 25-year-old Ward.

Ward caught eight of a team-high 11 targets, producing 72 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 23-23 tie with the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Ward collected just six total catches for 36 yards between Weeks 1 and 2, but the former college quarterback is not long removed from a notable stretch of fantasy production. Starting Week 14 of last year, Ward averaged 7.5 targets per game through the conclusion of the 2019 regular season, amassing 5.3 receptions and 52.3 receiving yards per contest as the Eagles won four straight to clinch a postseason berth. With Alshon Jeffery (foot) and Jalen Reagor (thumb) inactive for Sunday and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) forced to exit partway through, Ward was granted an increased workload. That is expected to carry into Week 4 if injury woes at the position persist, as Ward prepares for a matchup against a banged-up 49ers secondary.

Ward caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
After drawing seven targets in the opener, Ward saw just one look in this one despite getting the start. With Jalen Reagor healthy, the 25-year-old's role was due to diminish. It will likely tick back up again if there are any injuries to Reagor or DeSean Jackson, though Alshon Jeffery is likely to work his way back into the mix at some point.
