Who Should I Start? Spencer Rattler or Cameron Ward

Tuesday, August 5, 4:50 PM

Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports that New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler was the QB1 at Tuesday's practice. That's notable, marking the first time one of he, or fellow signal-callers Tyler Shough or Jake Haener, has done so in back-to-back days. New Orleans is looking for an answer at quarterback in 2025, and right now, Rattler has the best chance to man the helm. For the South Carolina alum to be the solution long-term, he'll have to improve on the 57% completion rate and 4:5 TD:INT ratio he posted across seven appearances in his rookie season (188 yards per game). Even if Rattler begins the campaign in possession of the starting gig, a few poor performances could cause that to change. He remains a non-target in drafts.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that rookie first-round quarterback Cam Ward and the starters will play in every preseason game. In the team's preseason opener this Saturday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ward and the starters will get a series or two. Even before it was announced that Will Levis (shoulder) would miss all of the 2025 season, Ward, the first overall pick in this year's NFL draft, was fully expected to be the starter entering Week 1. The 23-year-old has had his ups and downs at training camp this summer, but Callahan also said that Ward has shown growth heading into his first NFL season. Ward doesn't have many options to throw to outside of receiver Calvin Ridley, and he wasn't praised for his rushing ability in the pre-draft process, so this will most likely be a learning year for the youngster from Miami. Treat him as a low-end QB2 in fantasy.
