Mac Jones Not Throwing Due to "Soreness"

Wednesday, June 3, 7:07 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones (undisclosed) hasn't thrown in OTA practices last week or this week due to undisclosed "soreness," according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. There isn't really any concern that Jones won't be a full-go for the start of training camp at the end of July. The 27-year-old went 5-3 as the Niners' starter last year in place of the injured Brock Purdy, completing a career-best 69.6% of his pass attempts for 2,151 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 11 games played (eight starts). Jones more than kept the 49ers afloat as injuries decimated both sides of the ball. Purdy is fully healthy heading into the start of the 2026 campaign, which leaves very little fantasy value for Jones in single-year leagues. He'll once again be a valuable insurance policy for Purdy as he heads into his sixth year in the NFL. Jones thrived in head coach Kyle Shanahan's QB-friendly offense last year, but it still didn't make him much more than a QB2 streamer in superflex fantasy leagues.

Robert Saleh Not Worried About Cam Ward's Inaccuracy Issues

Tuesday, June 16, 7:55 AM

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.
