Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward is coming off a big win over the Indianapolis Colts but faces a challenging matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 7. The Browns have allowed just 205.2 yards passing per game this season, the eighth-fewest in the NFL, limiting the past two quarterbacks they've faced to 165 yards passing or fewer while racking up 11 sacks. Last week, Cleveland held Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley to a paltry 5.3 yards per completion. Ward put up just 102 yards passing and a touchdown while completing 11 of 22 passes, including an interception, against the Colts in Week 6.--Alex Brasky

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward has a great matchup in Week 6 against the Indianapolis Colts. However, beyond a two-rushing-touchdown outing in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Ward has not earned the trust of fantasy managers. That means he serves as a low-end QB2 in Superflex leagues at best against the 27th-ranked defense against quarterbacks in fantasy. Until the young QB shows more promise, it will be hard to trust him in fantasy in any upcoming matchup. The Titans are among the worst teams in the NFL so far this season, and their lackluster offense is the main reason. He does have decent weapons in rookie Carnell Tate and slot specialist Wan'Dale Robinson, but the offense has a dreadful 11.6 points per game through five weeks. Until the offense as a whole shows signs of life, Ward should not be in fantasy starting lineups unless necessary.--Seth Quinn - RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans Quarterback Cam Ward finally cleared 200 passing yards for the first time this season in Week 4 against Baltimore, completing 20 of 31 passes for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Ward is now averaging 181.5 passing yards per game through four weeks with three touchdowns and two interceptions, although his two rushing scores have helped prop up his fantasy production. He will look to improve his passing yardage against the Texans in Week 5. Houston has typically fielded one of the league's tougher defenses in recent years, but this season has been different. The Texans have been routinely gashed through the air, ranking 28th in passing yards allowed at 260 per game while surrendering six passing touchdowns through four weeks. Houston has already faced several high-end quarterbacks in Dak Prescott, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen, so the numbers may look worse than the defense actually is. This is still one of Ward's better matchups on paper. Still, Tennessee's passing game hasn't shown enough consistency to make him a confident start, especially against a Texans unit with plenty of talent at all three levels. Ward remains a lower-end QB2 in Superflex formats and should stay on the bench in single-QB leagues.--Ryan J. Goodman

Tennessee Titans Quarterback Cam Ward has yet to get much going through the air in his second NFL season, averaging just 168 passing yards per game with two passing touchdowns through three weeks. Ward finished 23-of-36 for 181 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Giants last week, with the interception coming in the end zone on Tennessee's potential game-winning drive. He has at least supplemented his fantasy production with two rushing scores this season, but both came in Week 2 against Philadelphia. Baltimore hasn't been dominant defensively, allowing 216.3 passing yards per game through three weeks, but the Ravens have only surrendered three passing touchdowns thus far. Baltimore will be without star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, which should make Ward's life easier, but even with adequate protection, Ward has looked erratic and inaccurate. He remains a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues, and should be on waivers in one-quarterback formats.--Ryan J. Goodman

Tennessee Titans second-year quarterback Cam Ward continued to struggle in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the New York Giants, dropping the Titans to 0-3 and Ward to 3-17 since entering the league as the first overall pick in 2025. The Athletic's Mike Jones writes that Ward's overall play "raises central questions about whether he is truly grasping the mental demands of the position or whether a benching could spark much-needed growth." When asked if he would consider sitting Ward, head coach Robert Saleh offered a quick, unexpounded "No." The 24-year-old has completed 62.5% of his passes for 504 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in three games played. He has failed to go over 200 yards passing in a game this year and ranks 25th in passer rating (80.9), 22nd in completion percentage (62.5), and dead last in most advanced analytics categories, including EPA/play and success rate. If the Titans do eventually decide to bench Ward if his play does not improve, it would be veteran backup Mitchell Trubisky who would be the next man up under center for the Titans.--Keith Hernandez

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward seemed to take a step forward against Philadelphia last week, completing 13 of 20 passes for 183 yards and adding two rushing touchdowns in the 24-20 loss. His passing numbers still left something to be desired, but the two rushing scores helped him finish the week as the QB11. It was a much better performance for Ward in both fantasy and real-life NFL terms, as he led a go-ahead drive deep into the fourth quarter against one of the league's best defenses. Through two games, Ward has completed just 61% of his passes for 323 yards and one touchdown with zero interceptions, while adding 28 yards and two scores on the ground. This week brings his best matchup yet: The Giants just surrendered four passing touchdowns and more than 300 yards to Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. New York has also dealt with secondary injuries, as starting cornerback Deonte Banks and safety Tyler Nubin were limited in practice this week and are questionable for Sunday. Ward has not done enough as a passer to be trusted as a QB1, but last week's performance and a vulnerable Giants secondary make him a viable streamer in QB2/Superflex leagues.--Ryan J. Goodman

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward is off to an impressive start this season, stringing together back-to-back turnover-free performances for just the third time in his young career. Ward has yet to surpass 183 passing yards in a single game this season, but his decent touchdown upside and rushing ability have vaulted him onto the fantasy radar in Year 2. Specifically, the 24-year-old rushed for two scores in last week's contest against a solid Eagles defense. Fantasy managers would surely like to see higher passing yardage totals, but it's hard to complain about a stat line that includes three touchdowns and zero turnovers through two games. Ward ranks as the QB19 in fantasy football this season, but he has fringe top-12 upside heading into Week 3 against a Giants team that is limping on both sides of the ball.--Andersen Pickard

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward faces off against the formidable Eagles defense in a Week 2 showdown at home. The second-year quarterback had an extremely forgettable opening game, managing only 140 passing yards and one touchdown in a loss to the New York Jets, a game in which the Titans were favored. Ward did add 21 yards on four carries, but the Titans managed just 195 total yards and struggled to sustain drives throughout the game. Things do not get much easier this week against Philadelphia. The Eagles held Jayden Daniels to just 164 passing yards in Week 1, although Daniels did manage two late passing touchdowns. Philadelphia was also one of the NFL's stingiest pass defenses last season, allowing a league-low 14 passing touchdowns and the sixth-fewest yards through the air. After Ward's struggles last week, fantasy managers should look for other options, even in superflex leagues. He is best viewed as a low-end QB2 this week and should remain on the bench in standard one-quarterback leagues.--Ryan J. Goodman

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward is coming off of a disappointing performance in the team's Week 1 loss to the New York Jets. Ward was 19-for-32 passing for 140 yards and a touchdown. On a positive note, Ward didn't turn the ball over, but his passing stats were just not good enough to be useful for fantasy managers. He also rushed four times for 21 yards. Ward could still improve on his passing numbers but the Week 1 start does not give much hope to fantasy managers. He is certainly not in QB1 territory and it seems as if he isn't really in the territory to be a backup quarterback on a fantasy roster at the moment. Give Ward some time to improve but right now it is best to just leave him be on the waiver wire.--Brian Buckey - RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward had an up-and-down season as a rookie in 2025, completing 59.8% of his pass attempts for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Entering 2026, the 24-year-old remains the unquestioned QB1 in Tennessee and should have a better supporting cast around him after the Titans added rookie Carnell Tate and veteran Wan'Dale Robinson to their wide receiver room over the offseason. In Week 1, Tennessee will host the New York Jets. The Jets fielded a bottom-tier pass defense in 2025, allowing the most passing touchdowns in the NFL (36) while also failing to record a single interception for the entire season. However, New York added some veteran talent over the offseason and should field an improved unit in 2026. Ward is also coming off a shaky preseason, and the team's overall offense remains a question mark heading into the year. Given the uncertainty, Ward profiles as a low-end QB2 option for fantasy at best in Week 1.--Will Brady

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward put together an up-and-down season as a rookie in 2025, completing 59.8% of his pass attempts for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 17 games. If Ward's production does not take a step forward in 2026, he should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in the majority of league formats. However, Ward should have a much better offensive ecosystem around him in his second NFL season. The Titans used the fourth overall pick this past April on wide receiver Carnell Tate, signed veteran slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, and brought in former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll as their new offensive coordinator. In deeper league formats, Ward could be worth stashing off the waiver wire in case he emerges as a breakout quarterback in 2026.--Will Brady

Tennessee Titans new head coach Robert Saleh is convinced that new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll will help quarterback Cam Ward improve in his second season in the NFL, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. "This kid's not going to fail," Saleh said. "Obviously, I put my job on that one, but he's not going to fail. He's special." Ward did little to impress anyone in two preseason games, but he looked much better in joint practices against the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears. Last year's first overall pick, Ward finished his rookie campaign with 3,169 passing yards (17th), 15 touchdowns (25th), and seven interceptions (tied for 10th-most), but he showed improvement in his final five games, throwing eight TDs and just one interception. "I have a lot of confidence in this young man," Daboll said. The new coaching staff is not looking to tweak Ward's throwing motion, but they are putting an emphasis on his decision-making, encouraging him to take what the defense is giving him while also looking for opportunities to make chunk gains down the field. With the offseason additions of receivers Wan'Dale Robinson and rookie Carnell Tate, Ward will have more help in the passing game. The jury is still out on Ward as he heads into Year 2, but with a better supporting cast of coaches and receivers, he is trending up in superflex fantasy leagues as a low-end QB2 option with upside in 2026.--Keith Hernandez

The Tennessee Titans are waiving quarterback Will Levis, according to Paul Kuharsky. Tennessee traded up to select Levis 33rd overall in 2023, but he never established himself as the long-term answer. He made 21 starts over his first two seasons, throwing for 3,899 yards, 21 touchdowns and 16 interceptions while the Titans went 5-16. Levis then missed the entire 2025 season after undergoing surgery on his throwing shoulder. By the time he returned, Cam Ward was firmly entrenched as the starter and Mitchell Trubisky had been brought in as the primary backup. Levis got one final extended look Saturday against Chicago, completing 14 of 22 passes for 143 yards but failing to lead a touchdown drive. Kuharsky reports that Tennessee had hoped Levis might generate trade interest, but nothing developed. The former second-round pick will now look for another opportunity after falling out of the Titans' quarterback plans.--Bruno Mulé

Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said on Tuesday that the team's deep passing game is something that needs to improve, according to Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com. Daboll was also quick to point out that the team's struggles down the field are not all on second-year quarterback Cam Ward. The former first overall pick has not looked sharp in the preseason or during training camp while learning Daboll's offense, and he went 8-for-12 passing for 69 yards while mostly working underneath in the team's preseason game on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Ward has yet to link up with rookie first-round receiver Carnell Tate in the preseason either, although the Titans' coaching staff has not seemed very worried. The 24-year-old from Miami predictably struggled in his first NFL campaign in 2025, completing just 59.8% of his pass attempts for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 17 games. The Titans added weapons for Ward going into Year 2, but if his accuracy and deep-ball prowess do not improve, it could be more of the same in 2026. At best, fantasy managers should be targeting Ward as a low-end QB2 with upside as he continues to develop.--Keith Hernandez
