Should I Start Cam Ward?

Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that he's not too concerned about the misses and innacuracy issues that second-year quarterback Cam Ward has encountered so far this offseason, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Saleh is giving Ward a pass as he learns a new offense going into his second year in the NFL. However, it's an ongoing issue for the former first overall pick out of the University of Miami, as Ward completed only 59.8% of his 540 pass attempts over 17 starts in his rookie camapign in 2025. Ward didn't have much help on offense, though, on his way to throwing for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions as Tennessee's full-time starter. He was sacked a league-high 55 times while also carrying the ball 39 times for 159 rushing yards and two more touchdowns. There is certainly more intrigue around Ward as he heads into Year 2 with Brian Daboll as the Titans' offensive coordinator, but for Ward to take the next step, he is going to need to improve his accuracy. Ward's fantasy arrow is pointing up, but he should still only be targeted as a low-end QB2 with upside in drafts this fall.
