Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Cameron Ward

Sunday, November 23, 5:24 PM

New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston completed 18 of his 36 pass attempts for 366 yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Detroit Lions. He also got involved in some trickery, adding a third touchdown on a 33-yard reception that was thrown to him by wide receiver Gunner Olszewski. Winston's turnover and low completion rate were unfortunate, but his high yardage and three total touchdowns made him a valuable fantasy option once again. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who were relying on him as a streamer, Winston will head back to the bench in Week 13 if Jaxson Dart (concussion) clears concussion protocol, as expected. The offense belongs to Dart once again, but at least we've seen that Winston can be a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback if he ever gets thrust back into the starting role.

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.
