Ryan Wilson said fantasy managers should not overreact to Cam Ward’s rough start in Titans camp. Ward has already thrown four interceptions in two practices and even described the offense as "mid," but Wilson reminded listeners that quarterbacks on teams coming off the first overall pick always experience growing pains. He compared the situation to Caleb Williams looking unbeatable in an early preseason game before cooling off and to Drake May struggling last summer before delivering a strong debut season. Tennessee still has a thin wide-receiver group and finished near the bottom of most offensive metrics in 2024, so Wilson expects efficiency issues to linger through August. Even so, he urged dynasty and redraft players to remain patient, projecting gradual improvement once the staff tailors the scheme and Ward gains live reps.

Best Ball Guy pitched Cam Ward as the perfect last-round quarterback when you already have Titans skill players like Chig Okonkwo, Tyjae Spears and Calvin Ridley on the roster. Ward costs nothing in Chow Chow and Sprint rooms yet gives you a clean back-stack that captures every Tennessee touchdown without burning an early pick. Because the Titans’ depth chart behind Will Levis is wide open and Ward brings dual-threat rushing juice, BBG views him as a live late-season starter who can spike a week-17 ceiling while simultaneously unlocking correlation leverage with the rest of your Titans exposure.

Davis Mattek said Cam Ward is an automatic click at his current ADP because drafters are irrationally terrified of being the ‘clapping seal’ who backs the No. 1 overall pick. Mattek noted that best-ball rooms are overflowing with rookie fever for players like Harvey Henderson and Caleb Johnson in the early sixth, yet Ward—despite superior draft capital and a clearer path to immediate snaps—regularly lasts multiple rounds later. In his view the market is over-discounting Ward’s learning curve while ignoring the rushing upside and the fact Tennessee has already tethered its franchise to him. Mattek framed Ward as the perfect third-quarterback dart in Best Ball Mania builds where you want weekly spike-week potential without sacrificing earlier premium picks.

PPRTyler said he is "so in on Cam Ward," arguing the rookie should be drafted well ahead of his current basement ADP in best-ball rooms. He played a Titans camp clip where Ward trash-talked a defender while simultaneously digesting a long play call, calling it proof of advanced processing and "uncharted levels of dog." Tyler added that Tennessee quietly set Ward up for success by spending multiple early picks on the offensive line, employing a solid backfield to keep defenses honest, and hiring Brian Callahan to modernize the passing game. With Will Levis already shelved for the season, Ward faces little competition for snaps and has a clear path to spike-week production. Tyler recommended scooping Ward as a late QB2 who can stack cheaply with Titans pass-catchers, labeling him one of the best low-exposure bets in Best Ball tourneys.

Connor Allen endorsed taking the Titans’ over 5.5 wins (+105) and even a speculative 9-to-1 AFC South ticket because he believes first-round rookie Cam Ward materially raises their floor. Allen compared Ward’s collegiate tape to early-career Deshaun Watson—mobile enough to extend plays but looking to win from the pocket with a stronger-than-advertised arm. Tennessee’s offensive line sits 22nd in his preseason trench rankings, a "middle-of-the-pack" unit he views as good enough once James Hudson slides to right tackle. Ward inherits a sneaky skill group headlined by Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard, Tajay Spears and veteran chain-movers Van Jefferson and Tyler Lockett. Allen thinks Ward’s off-script ability will steal two or three games the market does not account for, making it “no shock at all” if Tennessee finishes ahead of the Colts and stays live in a division where only Houston projects as a prohibitive favorite.
