AFC exec: Ward ‘going to take a jump’

Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Player Stats

An AFC personnel executive told Between The Hashmarks’ Matt Lombardo that Cam Ward would “take a jump” in 2026.

“The Titans have added a lot of really good pieces who fit what they do,” the executive told Lombardo. “I think Robert Saleh has hired an excellent staff, and I believe in the quarterback. Cam Ward is going to take a jump, and I expect them to be solid enough on defense to win some games.” One of the most erratic, inaccurate quarterbacks in the league in 2025, Ward has worked this offseason with new OC Brian Daboll to improve his lower body mechanics and has reportedly learned how to make more cautious throws when downfield shots are not open. Saleh, for one, has said he’s not concerned with Ward’s 2025 accuracy issues. With the additions of Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson, Ward will have a vastly improved wideout group with which to work in 2026.

Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Titans head coach Robert Saleh said Titans pass catchers and the team’s defense are to blame for Cam Ward’s sloppy footwork.

Asked about Ward’s continuing footwork disaster, Saleh said the second-year quarterback “usually starts off good then fades into old habits.” Titans beat writer Terry McCormick then asked Saleh “why if his footwork gets worse as the game goes on, why the offense has had such slow starts. [Saleh] said it has been dropped passes vs. Giants and defense not getting off field vs. Eagles.” Saleh has made a point to shield Ward from all criticism throughout the preseason and through three horrific regular season outings. Ward ranks 20th in accuracy and 29th in EPA per drop back this season. He’s fresh off throwing a game-deciding end zone interception against the lowly Giants in Week 3. Mitchell Trubisky will probably get a couple starts this season if Ward can’t turn things around.
Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Titans coach Robert Saleh said “no” when asked if he’d consider sitting QB Cam Ward.

Ward’s gotten off to a slow start in 2026, completing 62.5 percent of his passes for a meager 504 yards and two touchdowns in three games. He has improved his sack rate quite a bit, cutting it from 9.2 percent in 2025 to 5.38 percent so far this year. The Titans backup is Mitch Trubisky. It is probably too soon to give up on Ward, but it doesn’t bode well for his future that Saleh is already being asked the question. Ward will be one of the bottom five quarterbacks in the Week 4 fantasy rankings against the Ravens.
Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Cam Ward completed 23-of-36 passes for 181 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Titans’ 7-12, week 3 loss to the Giants.

The Titans’ offense looked dead on arrival with 34 yards on their six first-half drives. They opened the game with four consecutive three-and-outs and didn’t get on the board until late in the fourth quarter, when Ward tossed a short touchdown to Wan’Dale Robinson. It looked like Ward was getting in rhythm late in the game, but he ended the contest with a ghastly interception directly into the hands of Jevon Holland, who was standing in the end zone waiting for the ball. Ward took care of the ball until the game-ending throw, but this was a one step forward, two steps back showing from the young passer. That has unfortunately been the case for the better part of the last three weeks. Ward is not on the fantasy radar for Week 4 against the Ravens, and his poor play is making all of the team’s fantasy options largely irrelevant.
Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Cam Ward completed 13-of-20 passes for 183 yards in the Titans’ 24-20, Week 2 loss to the Eagles, adding four rushes for seven yards and two touchdowns.

Ward’s two scores on the ground doubled his previous career total, though he is now sitting on one passing touchdown through eight quarters. He is at least not turning the ball over, and has taken “just” five sacks. He has been so far unable to heat up his connections with offseason additions Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson, but he found Elic Ayomanor for two critical gains vs. Philly. Cutting out the negative plays was an absolutely essential first step for Ward, but he has yet to supplement them with big gains or consistent chain-moving. That included botching a Hail Mary in the fourth quarter this afternoon. Ward won’t be much of a superflex option for next week’s road date with the Giants.
Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Cam Ward completed 19-of-32 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown in the Titans’ 23-10, Week 1 loss to the Jets, adding four rushes for 21 yards.

Ward also took three sacks for 13 yards. His touchdown was a too little, too late 11-yard strike to Elic Ayomanor with the Titans trailing 23-3 at the 2:42 mark of the fourth quarter. As was the case down the stretch last season, Ward did a good job of avoiding turnovers, but he struggled to generate positive plays of any kind. He was besieged by pressure, but he just wasn’t making anything happen. That could come in time — there’s a new experienced play-caller in Brian Daboll and several new weapons in the skill corps — but this was a highly discouraging start to the year at home vs. a not-exactly-amazing Jets defense. It was certainly confirmation that Ward is on the outside looking in of top-24 status in superflex leagues for the time being. The Eagles are a rough Week 2 matchup, even if the Titans are at home.
Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said the team’s downfield passing attack has to improve.

Cam Ward’s preseason has been as bad or even worse than his rookie campaign. Ward in last week’s preseason game against Seattle completed eight of his 12 attempts for 69 yards. His average depth of target on completed passes this preseason sits at a meager 1.2. Carnell Tate, meanwhile, has been targeted five times on his 23 preseason routes and does not have a reception to show for it. Daboll has been somewhat defensive this month when asked about Ward’s immense struggles after working on basic fundamentals with the second-year QB in the offseason. Ward, one of the most inaccurate passers in recent NFL history, is unlikely to support more than one fantasy-viable pass catcher in 2026.
Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Titans QB Cam Ward completed 8-of-12 passes for 69 yards in Sunday’s preseason game against the Seahawks.

Ward would have cleared 100 yards in the box score had TE Gunnar Helm not stepped out of bounds while hauling in a downfield pass during a scramble drill. Ward’s ability to make ridiculous throws off-script remains a plus and a minus. It wasn’t a great game for his connection with rookie Carnell Tate. The duo went 0-of-2 out of five total pass attempts from Ward on the first drive this evening against Seattle.
Wan'Dale Robinson

TEN Wide Receiver #4

ESPN’s Turron Davenport reports that Titans OC Brian Daboll’s intent to improve on third down was a “key reason” for signing WR Wan’Dale Robinson.

Davenport penned a lengthy piece detailing how OC Brian Daboll is focused on developing QB Cam Ward’s play on third down, in the red zone and in the two-minute drill. This is pretty straightforward. Those are all high-leverage situations, so harping on Ward’s performance there makes sense. Robinson played on all three drives in the Titans’ first preseason game while veteran Calvin Ridley was on the field for one. Rookie WR Carnell Tate was on the field for the first and third drives. A featured role on third downs could help Robinson return FLEX value — he’s certainly being paid like he is going to be featured.
Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Cam Ward completed 5-of-12 passes for 57 yards in Thursday’s preseason opener against the 49ers, adding a two-yard rush.

Ward, who played three series, didn’t offer up many highlights, but he did help author a 95-yard touchdown drive on the Titans’ opening series vs. the 49ers’ backups. Learning a new offensive system as he breaks in a heavily revamped supporting cast, it’s not a surprise tonight was a “growing pains” effort even if it came against the second and third string. If Ward plays in the Titans’ second preseason game, it will be against the defending champion Seahawks.
Cam Ward

TEN Quarterback #1

Titans head coach Robert Saleh said he’s not concerned with Cam Ward’s accuracy issues in offseason practices.

Titans beat writers last week sounded the alarm on Ward’s inaccuracy during OTA sessions. It’s an extension of major accuracy issues Ward had during his rookie year with the Titans. Ward in 2025 ranked 32nd out of 35 qualifying QBs in completion rate over expected, frequently sailing intermediate and short-area passes over the heads of his pass catchers in a dysfunctional Titans offense. Saleh said as a member of the 49ers coaching staff he saw Brock Purdy miss some passes in offseason practices so he is not worried about Ward’s issues. Purdy in 2025 was the NFL’s second most accurate passer behind Drake Maye.

Breece Hall (quad) will not play in Week 4 against the Bears.

Hall was initially mentioned as being week-to-week when he was diagnosed with his quad injury, so he was never really considered a candidate to play in Week 4 despite the team waiting until the end of the week to rule him out. With Hall out, the Jets will look to Braelon Allen to handle most of the backfield duties. Allen will profile as a solid RB2 candidate with a chance for more upside in what could be a high-volume day against the Bears. In addition to Hall, the Jets also ruled out OG Dylan Parham (knee), TE Mason Taylor (thumb), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad) for Week 4.

Rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who saw a season-high eight targets last week in Mitchell’s absence, will be on the fantasy radar as a fringe TE1 with Mitchell again sidelined.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinnsaid Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) will play in Week 4 against the Colts.

After missing the last two games with a hamstring injury, Okonkwo will suit up when the Commanders take on the Colts in London. The 27-year-old tight end caught 2-of-3 targets for 16 yards in the Commanders’ Week 1 loss to the Eagles and ran 22 routes before exiting late in the third quarter. He has the chance to turn into a meaningful contributor in Washington’s passing game, but fantasy managers shouldn’t rush to put him in their lineups until we get a better sense of his role over the next few weeks. In addition to Okonkwo, Quinn also said LB Frankie Luvu (groin) would return in Week 4.

ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reports “as we hear it, Tyson Bagent has gotten the first-team reps so far this week.”

While head coach Ben Johnson will do his best to keep his QB1 for Week 4’s game against the Jets under wraps, it’s hard to slip things past all the reporters who are present during the media portion of practice. With reports that Bagent, who is listed as the Bears’ QB2 on the depth chart, is taking first-team reps, it’s safe to assume things are trending toward him making the start this week. We may not get a clear answer from the team on who the starter will be until kickoff, which makes both Bagent and Case Keenum hard to trust for fantasy managers who may have been considering them in 2QB/Superflex leagues.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said Marcus Mariota will start in Week 4 against the Colts.

Jayden Daniels felt like a long shot to play despite traveling with the team to London and logging back-to-back limited practices to start the week. Now, Quinn has confirmed that Mariota will get at least one more start before Daniels possibly returns in Week 5 to face the Giants. Mariota led the Commanders to an upset win over the Seahawks in Week 3, throwing for 183 yards and three touchdowns, and now faces a Colts defense that was torched in Weeks 1 and 2 by Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes. While we shouldn’t expect Mariota to put up numbers like Jackson and Mahomes, he will be firmly on the streaming radar in 2QB/Superflex leagues.

He’ll presumably log another limited practice on Friday, which could put him in line to return for Week 5’s game against the Giants, but it will be Marcus Mariota drawing the start on Sunday morning when the Commanders take on the Colts.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the initial belief is that Mason Graham avoided a significant knee injury in Week 4’s win over the Steelers.

Graham will undergo an MRI on Friday to confirm the severity of his injury, but Rapoport reports that the Browns think Graham “dodged a bullet” here. Graham has been a stud for the suddenly 3-1 Browns in his second season, racking up 15 tackles, six TFLs, and four sacks in his four games played. We’ll see what the MRI reveals, but if Graham is able to avoid a stint on injured reserve, it would be safe to assume the team believes he could make it back in three weeks or sooner.

Harold Fannin

CLE Tight End #44

Harold Fannin caught 3-of-5 targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in the Browns’ Week 4 win over the Steelers.

The score was his third trip to paint in the previous two games after Fannin notched his first two touchdowns of the young season in a Week 3 win over the Panthers. Fannin appears to be behind both Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion in the target pecking order in Cleveland, but remains well ahead of veteran Jerry Jeudy as the third target in the offense. Continued fantasy production likely hinges on the play of quarterback Deshaun Watson, but Fannin appears set to return meaningful fantasy value for managers that invested a middle-round pick on his services this summer. Fannin remains a back-end TE1 ahead of a Week 5 meeting with the Jets on the road.

KC Concepcion caught 5-of-8 targets for 64 yards in the Browns’ Week 4 win over the Steelers.

Concepcion continues to operate as the primary slot receiver for a Browns team clearly looking to their youth while phasing out veteran Jerry Jeudy, the latter of whom managed three receptions on three targets for 36 yards. Concepcion has yet to lead the team in receiving while working in a short area role, with this the first game thus far which he has gained more then 43 yards. He’ll be a difficult start in fantasy circles when the Browns take on the Jets in Week 5.

Denzel Boston caught 4-of-7 targets for 89 yards in the Browns’ Week 4 win over the Steelers.

Boston has now led the Browns in receiving in three of the team’s first four games, made more impressive by the fact that those were the first four contests of the youngster’s professional career. The second-round rookie continues to flash big play potential after catching his third pass of 46 yards or longer, this time unable to find the end zone after scoring twice in his first two games. Boston still has room to grow considering he has seen just 22 targets in the first month of the season, and could reward fantasy managers that invested late-round picks in his services handsomely in the second half of his rookie year. He’ll be an upside FLEX option against the Jets in Week 5.
