Past Fantasy Outlooks
2015
2014
Southward will compete for snaps in a crowded and young secondary in 2015. The former safety has been moved to cornerback, and he currently sits behind Desmond Trufant, Robert Alford, Jalen Collins and Akeem King on the depth chart. He'll have a tough time seeing significant snaps unless he has a great training camp and preseason.
