Fantasy Football

The Facts:
The Steelers upgraded Ward from questionable to probable for Thursday's game per the official injury report (covering only the Steelers and Dolphins) released by the league this afternoon. Reported by FootballDiehards.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The upgrade came after Ward made it through a third-straight practice without suffering any setback to the sore hamstring that sidelined the star receiver throughout the preseason. It's safe to assume Ward will assume his usual role as the team's No. 1 receiver in Miami Thursday night -- although he'll do so with Charlie Batch under center rather than Ben Roethlisberger, who has been officially ruled out for the opener. ... For the record: The complete NFL injury report will be released as usual Wednesday afternoon.
