Who Should I Start? Mac Jones or Cameron Ward

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones will head back to the bench ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Jones has started in each of the last six games while Brock Purdy (toe) was sidelined. Now, Purdy is ready to play, so Jones will return to being the backup. However, Jones was impressive during his time as the starter. He threw for 2,151 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions in eight games. It sounds like this solid play has made him a prime trade candidate for the 2026 season. Jones is still under control with the organization after signing a two-year, seven million deal with the organization this offseason. Purdy is viewed as the franchise quarterback in San Francisco, so moving Jones makes sense. Given his play this season, Jones should draw some interest in the trade market. This is something to monitor during the offseason.

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.
