CamWard

News: 2 days agoWard completed 14 of 28 passes for 117 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two carries for four yards in the Titans' 31-29 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Spin: The Titans clawed their way to their second win of the season Sunday, and Ward did contribute with 14- and five-yard scoring tosses to Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike. While that marked the first multi-touchdown effort of Ward's career, the rookie first overall pick also posted his third-lowest completion percentage of the season and recorded just one completion of 20-plus yards. Ward now has four sub-200-yard tallies in his last five games, an unfavorable pattern he'll look to snap in a Week 15 road matchup against the 49ers next Sunday.

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.
