Who Should I Start? Baker Mayfield or Cameron Ward

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) sprained his left (non-throwing) shoulder during Sunday night's loss to the Rams and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Mayfield appeared to injure his shoulder after his touchdown pass to Tez Johnson in the second quarter, grabbing at it and grimacing in discomfort. He then made things worse on the final play of the first half on a Hail Mary attempt and didn't return for the second half. The 30-year-old quarterback was on the sidelines with his left arm in a sling for the second half, and the extent of the injury will be known on Monday following the MRI. Teddy Bridgewater took over in his absence and would be in line to start next week against the Cardinals if Mayfield misses time.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward hasn't experienced a ton of success during his rookie campaign. Ward had a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12, but he made the most of it. Ward completed 28-of-42 passing attempts for 256 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The rookie quarterback also carried the ball six times for 37 yards and an additional score. This was the first multi-score game of Ward's career that will hopefully have many more. The rookie quarterback is making the most of it with a limited cast of offensive playmakers. We'll see if he can build off this performance and have success against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13.
