Outlook Cam Ward

Cam Ward at New York Giants — Low Passing Volume Limits Fantasy Value

Ward enters Week 3 backed firmly by head coach Robert Saleh despite an 0-2 start and lingering scrutiny over Tennessee's passing attack. Through two games, the second-year passer has thrown for just 323 yards and one touchdown, though he has supplemented his fantasy output with two rushing scores, including a goal-line sneak against Philadelphia.

Heading on the road to face the Giants in a projected low-scoring environment, Ward remains difficult to trust in standard leagues. Our weekly projection models him for roughly 121 passing yards and 13.7 fantasy points. With only 12% roster ownership and start rates under 1%, fantasy managers should keep him parked on benches outside of deep Superflex formats.
