Cam Ward Fantasy Week 3 Start or Sit: Two Rushing Scores Do Not Change the Math
· Yahoo Sports
A pair of rushing touchdowns against the Eagles doubled Ward’s career total, and he still lands 30th among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 3 rankings for the trip to New York. That rushing production has been spotty across his year-plus in the league, and the passing numbers alone are nowhere near enough: 3,492 yards in his first 19 starts, ahead of only Bryce Young among active top-10 picks. I came into the season worried I would miss a Year 2 breakout with zero Superflex exposure, and two weeks in, that worry is gone.
Should You Start or Sit Cam Ward in Week 3?
Ward ran for a pair of touchdowns against the Eagles last week, doubling his career total in the process. The rushing production has been spotty at best during his year-plus in the league, and I think we have more than enough data to suggest that the passing numbers alone aren’t nearly enough to get us where we need to be.
