Cam Ward struggled mightily for most of his rookie year but showed improvement late in the season, creating optimism for 2026. The No. 1 pick in last year's NFL Draft averaged just 10.2 fantasy points per game over his first 12 starts.

Ward's late-season improvement and upgraded weapons offer hope, but he's a deep league consideration.

Ward struggled mightily for most of his rookie year, averaging just 10.2 fantasy points per game over his first 12 starts with a paltry 5.7 yards per pass attempt, seven TD passes and six interceptions, but showed improvement late in the season. Over his last four starts, he averaged 15.5 fantasy points per game with three consecutive games featuring two TD passes. The Titans addressed his shortage of pass-catching weaponry by signing WR Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency and drafting Ohio State WR Carnell Tate No. 4 overall. Ward is probably only a consideration in superflex or extremely deep redraft leagues for 2026, but the talented youngster could come on quickly with better offensive line protection after taking a league-high 55 sacks last year.
