Ward's 32nd-ranked EPA and scheme focus on short routes limit Tate's deep-ball upside.

Ward's preseason performance and overall efficiency raise concerns for his supporting cast, particularly first-round receiver Carnell Tate. Ward posted -0.16 EPA per dropback (32nd), 37.7% passing success rate (32nd), and -2.9% CPOE (30th). While he showed improvement down the 2025 stretch against weaker defenses, he is learning a new scheme under OC Brian Daboll focused on taking what the defense allows. The Titans' offense is unlikely to support deep targets like Tate's 22.5 air yards per target average during preseason, limiting the rookie's breakout potential.
