Who Should I Start? Jake Browning or Cameron Ward

Tuesday, October 7, 11:19 AM

According to Cincinnati Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the team's internal options at quarterback are "not in consideration" to replace current starter Jake Browning in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. As such, any potential replacement would have to come from outside the building. In three starts since replacing Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) under center, Browning has thrown for 516 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions while leading the team to an 0-3 record. However, it does not appear Cincinnati has confidence in current backup QB Brett Rypien or practice squad QB options Mike White and Sean Clifford. Most likely, Browning will be the signal-caller in a difficult Week 6 matchup against the Packers.

Across 12 games, Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward has completed just 59.7% of his pass attempts for 2,351 yards, seven touchdowns, and six interceptions. The 23-year-old struggled mightily his last time out against the Jacksonville Jaguars, averaging a season-worst 3.7 yards per pass attempt. Ward's job won't get any easier in Week 14 when Tennessee takes on the Cleveland Browns. Through 13 weeks, Cleveland has allowed the third-fewest passing yards (2,327) and recorded the second-most sacks (43) in the NFL. Pass-rush pressure has been a major issue for Ward so far this season, as he's taken the most sacks (48) of any NFL quarterback in 2025. Even in two-quarterback formats, Ward should be off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 14.
