Ward Wants to Play Tonight

Update: According to the Twitter page of ESPN's Rachel Nichols, Steelers WR Hines Ward (hamstring) will warm up in preparation for tonight's game in Cleveland.  "I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens," says Ward.  There is no tomorrow."

Fantasy Impact: Despite being called "very questionable" by coach Mike Tomlin all week, Hines Ward is a warrior and wants to play.  He participated in a light practice on Wednesday.  Monitor this situation closely leading up to kickoff.  Ward has been a reliable #2 fantasy WR this season, but be careful using him tonight if he is actice.  Bad weather could lead to a low-scoring game.  Also, the Browns are so bad that the Steelers could easily take a big lead and decide to run the ball in the 2nd half and rest banged-up starters.
