Quick answer
BuyWard ran for 22 yards in 2024, finishing RB129. He scored about 50% less than his touches said he should. The last two seasons moved from RB142 to RB129 — that's the dynasty read. Only 4 games in 2024 — availability is the headline. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
