Denzel Ward: added to injury report Friday, questionable (hand)

THE FACT. Cleveland added cornerback Denzel Ward to its injury report on Friday with a hand injury, listed him as limited in that day's practice and tagged him questionable for Sunday against Tennessee, per ProFootballTalk and a Friday NBC Sports player update.
THE VERDICT. A Friday addition to the report is the kind of late wrinkle that moves receiver matchups, so this is the Browns item with genuine redraft reach. If Ward sits, Tennessee's perimeter receivers get a meaningful bump, which puts Calvin Ridley in play for DFS, though Ridley carries his own questionable tag with a hip issue. Hand injuries rarely keep a corner out entirely, so lean toward him suiting up. IDP: marginal, corners are matchup-dependent tackle plays at best.
