Optimism abounds for the No. 1 overall pick, who will begin his NFL career playing within an infrastructure built by a coach who flashed signs of competence despite poor QB play in 2024. Brian Callahan engineered a diverse run game and a variety of play action looks to boost the passing efficiency. The OL will almost certainly be better in 2025, and Ward will probably provide a huge upgrade over the contributions of Will Levis and Mason Rudolph. Tennessee's 30th ranking in terms of Fantasy points per dropback illustrates just how massive of an improvement Ward would have to provide for this to become a desirable Fantasy QB profile, though. Betting markets project the Titans for just the 28th-highest implied point total in 2025. Passing touchdowns may be hard to come by. Within this framework, a miraculous effort from Ward will be required for even top-20 Fantasy QB production to result. Ward is only worth targeting in Superflex/two-QB formats.

Titans' Cameron Ward: Leads touchdown drive
Rotowire
Ward completed three of four passes for 36 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings.
Ward led the offense for two drives, the first of which was a three-and-out. He turned things around on the second possession, which concluded with a rushing score, hitting Van Jefferson and Elic Ayomanor for long gains of 17 and 13 yards, respectively. While there was some inconsistency, Ward had an encouraging first preseason as a pro and will be under center in Week 1 of the regular season at Denver.

Titans' Cameron Ward: Leads two possessions
Rotowire
Ward completed five of eight passes for 67 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Saturday's 29-7 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.
Ward got his first experience as a starter in the NFL and led two drives. The Titans went three-and-out on the first possession, but he then led an 11-play, 65-yard touchdown drive, during which he showed strong rapport with Calvin Ridley -- the duo connected for gains of 27, 10 and 13 yards. It was a limited sample for Ward, but it was an encouraging debut as he prepares to start from Day 1 of the regular season.

Titans' Cameron Ward: Set to play Saturday
Rotowire
Titans coach Brian Callahan said Wednesday that Ward and other starters will play in every preseason game, including a series or two this Saturday against Tampa Bay, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Callahan also said Ward has shown growth throughout training camp, adding that he feels good about the offense's trajectory. The No. 1 overall pick has long been locked in as a Week 1 starter, with not much competition behind him ever since Will Levis underwent season-ending surgery in July.

Titans' Cameron Ward: Takes first-team reps, as expected
Rotowire
Ward took all of the first-team QB reps during Wednesday's opening training camp practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.
While the Titans haven't officially declared Ward the starter, Davenport indicates that the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is firmly in line to claim the job after the team announced Monday that Will Levis, who is now on IR, will have season-ending surgery on his right shoulder next week. Currently in the mix to back up Ward this coming season are free-agent acquisitions Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle.

Titans' Cameron Ward: Set to take first-team reps
Rotowire
Ward's teammate, Will Levis, will undergo surgery on his right throwing shoulder next Tuesday and will miss the entire 2025 season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
With Levis -- who logged 21 starts for the Titans over the last two regular seasons -- no longer in the mix to compete with Ward, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com notes that the No. 1 overall choice in the 2025 NFL Draft is slated to take the team's first-team QB reps in training camp and likely will be backed up by Brandon Allen, with Tim Boyle also on hand. Ward thus appears destined to draw the Week 1 start for Tennessee while helming a passing attack that's headlined by top WR Calvin Ridley and top TE Chig Okonkwo but otherwise is a work in progress, with slotting behind the duo at their respective positions to be determined as the summer progresses.

Titans' Cam Ward: Splitting reps evenly with Levis
Rotowire
Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday that Ward and Will Levis have split practice reps evenly throughout Phase 2 of the team's offseason activities, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.
Callahan said Tennessee's quarterback reps "will probably change a little when when we get to the next phase of OTAs and there's some 7-on-7 [drills]," while also noting that Ward's selection at No. 1 overall and Levis' status as an incumbent starter haven't been the cause of any conflict at practice. Some amount of competition with Levis figures to be beneficial for Ward, who is still in the early stages of acclimating to a new offense and building chemistry with Calvin Ridley, Tyler Lockett, Treylon Burks (ACL) and Van Jefferson. Callahan said it would be premature to name a starter at this stage of the offseason, but it would nonetheless be surprising if it takes Ward long to earn a dominant share of first-team reps. The Titans are slated to conduct six OTAs between May 27 and June 5 before kicking off a three-day mandatory minicamp June 12. Ward may be able to push for increased reps during those dates, but the most pivotal period of his rookie development will occur during training camp and the preseason. Regardless of whether Levis remains on Tennessee's roster or draws trade interest, it seems like a sure thing that Ward will start the Titans' regular-season opener against Tampa Bay.

Titans' Cam Ward: Picked first overall by Tennessee
Rotowire
The Titans selected Ward in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, first overall.
Ward (6-foot-2, 219 pounds) is far from a conventional first overall pick, because he was a non-entity as a recruit and truly had to work his way up through the minors by playing at Incarnate Word (2020-21) and Washington State (2022-23) before dominating in his one season at Miami in 2024. Ward only earned admiration at each stop, but his one year with the Hurricanes was arguably his finest work in his five collegiate seasons, as he completed 305 of 454 pass attempts for 4,313 yards (9.5 YPA) with 39 passing touchdowns to just seven interceptions. Ward might not be a prolific runner in the NFL, but at the very least he is functionally mobile from the pocket, where he shows an uncommon ability to evade pressure and uncork ambitious big-play shots downfield. Although the Titans are still rebuilding and don't offer the most comfortable team context for a rookie quarterback, they have made substantial investments in their offensive line the past two offseasons, and could suddenly be a well-composed offense if they could just secure one or two quality route runners to add to a wideout rotation that is otherwise headlined by Calvin Ridley, Tyler Lockett and Treylon Burks (ACL). Even if Will Levis remains on hand through training camp, Ward is a near lock to start Week 1 for the Titans.
