Cam Ward Heating Up at Titans Camp

Saturday, August 8, 6:38 AM

Tennessee Titans second-year quarterback Cam Ward has shown signs of growth throughout his second professional training camp. Titans senior writer Jim Wyatt reports that after what was potentially his best session of the summer on Thursday, the first overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft led a number of scoring drives during Friday night's scrimmage at Nissan Stadium. Ward saw his play improve throughout his rookie campaign, and with a new coaching staff and improved weaponry around him, he's a player who could take a sizable year two leap. At RotoBaller's QB25, he's regularly going undrafted outside of superflex leagues, but if he continues to take agency over an ascending offense, Ward could eventually play his way into the streaming conversation or more.

Fernando Mendoza Expected to Get Plenty of Reps in Preseason Opener

Tuesday, August 11, 6:39 PM

Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza is "expected to get plenty of experience in Thursday's preseason opener against the Cardinals," according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. Mendoza, who was selected No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft after winning the NCAA football national championship at Indiana, will have a valuable opportunity get acclimated to the NFL with meaningful preseason reps. At this time, he's not expected to start Week 1 of the regular season, but preseason action will at least give fantasy managers a chance to see Mendoza play alongside Brock Bowers, Ashton Jeanty, Jack Bech, and Jalen Nailor. His redraft stock is a bit iffy given the fact that there's no timetable for the Raiders to turn from Kirk Cousins to Mendoza, but the 22-year-old is much more appealing in dynasty leagues where he ranks as the QB17.
