CamWard

News: 3 days agoWard completed 19 of 33 passes for 175 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams. He added four rushes for eight yards.

Spin: Ward struggled with efficiency for the second consecutive week, averaging only 5.3 yards per attempt. However, he showed off his playmaking ability while connecting with Elic Ayomanor for his first pro touchdown after scrambling for several seconds before throwing across his body for a nine-yard score. Ward also completed three passes of more than 20 yards, two of which went to Calvin Ridley, which was also an improvement over Week 1. Ward isn't trustworthy for standard fantasy formats yet, but he did seem to take a step forward in his second pro start.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Ward was selected by Tennessee with the No. 1 pick in April's draft. Ward tossed a class-high 39 TDs and his 88.7 QBR trailed only Will Howard last season -- his lone year at Miami. He didn't run a ton, but was effective when he did (class-best 9.1 YPC and a ridiculous 79% of his 38 carries went for 5-plus yards). Ward is all but a lock to start in Week 1, and his supporting cast is serviceable, but there will be bumps along the way. So, unless he runs more than expected, he's unlikely to be more than an occasional streamer as a rookie. Consider him only as a late-round flier.
