EDGE Analysis

This was a degree-of-difficulty start for Ward, but he delivered against a tough opponent. He's now won three straight, and in fact Ward hasn't taken a regulation loss in any of his last eight outings. Indeed, the veteran's delivering surprising fantasy value down the stretch, although his ratios still aren't terribly helpful on the whole.
