Fantasy Football: Hines Ward to End Holdout

The AP is reporting that the Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver is holding a Monday night news conference to announce that he is returning to the team.

Fantasy Football Impact: Ward had a mediocre year in 2004 (80 receptions / 4 TD), but with the loss of Plexico Burress (35 receptions / 5 TD) to the New York Giants, Big Ben is going to be counting more on Ward. We have Hines Ward ranked in the top 15 (#7 WCOFF, #14 FOX, #14 ESPN Traditional) of most of the leagues we model.
