Titans' Cam Ward: Forgettable numbers despite win
Cam Ward completed 14 of 28 passes for 117 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding two carries for four yards in the Tennessee Titans' 31-29 win over the Browns on Sunday.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.

Titans' Cam Ward: Takes step back
Cam Ward completed 24 of 38 passes for 141 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for seven yards.Ward entered Sunday's game having strung together a few positive performances, but his momentum came to an end in the Tennessee Titans' Week 13 loss. His longest completion of the day went for only 16 yards, and only five of his completions went for double-digit yards. That left him without a touchdown while averaging just 3.7 yards per attempt -- his lowest mark of the campaign. The lone positive to take from the performance was that Ward didn't turn the ball over, but it was an ugly showing overall.

Titans' Cam Ward: Decent showing against Seattle
Cam Ward completed 28 of 42 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks. He rushed the ball six times for 37 yards and a touchdown.Ward turned in one of his more complete performances as a rookie, showcasing some playmaking ability while also limiting mistakes. He completed three passes of at least 20 yards -- all to different receivers -- and also threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Chimere Dike on Tennessee's final possession. Ward supplemented that with the first rushing score of his career, and he's now topped 30 rushing yards in consecutive games after failing to do so in his first nine contests. Finally, he avoided negative plays, as this marked his first game without a fumble or interception.

Titans' Cam Ward: Mixed bag in Week 11 loss
Cam Ward completed 24 of 37 passes for 194 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while rushing three times for 33 yards in the Tennessee Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Ward was serviceable coming out of his first NFL bye week, and the fact he lost Calvin Ridley to a season-ending fibula injury and Chimere Dike to a chest contusion within Sunday's game certainly didn't help his cause. Additionally, Ward was navigating a talented and aggressive Texans defense that sacked him three times and consistently pressured him. The rookie first overall pick did connect with Van Jefferson for a four-yard game-tying touchdown at the 1:35 mark of the fourth quarter, but that play was preceded by Ward's fumble early in the period that led to a Texans field goal. Ward will head into another unenviable home matchup against the Seahawks in Week 12 working with a short-handed pass-catching corps yet again.

Titans' Cam Ward: No turnovers in loss
Cam Ward completed 12 of 21 passes for 145 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chargers. He added two rushes for six yards.Ward continues to turn in mixed performances, and there were some positive takeaways in Sunday's loss despite his modest stat line. He completed three passes of at least 20 yards and also didn't turn the ball over for the first time this season. Despite those steps forward, Ward still isn't a strong fantasy option, as he has yet to tally multiple touchdowns in a game this season.

Titans' Cam Ward: Mixed results in another loss
Cam Ward completed 22 of 38 pass attempts for 259 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking two carries for four yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.Ward threw his fifth touchdown pass of the season Sunday, but he maintained a TD/INT below 1.0 after throwing the sixth pick of his rookie campaign. The first-overall pick has shown marginal improvements in the two games following the firing of head coach Brian Callahan, throwing for over 250 yards in both contests. Ward still hasn't had that breakout game to excite fantasy managers through eight weeks, making him a low-end option against the Rams in Week 9.

Titans' Cam Ward: Encouraging performance in loss

He also lost a fumble.Ward turned in the most efficient game of his career, averaging 7.5 yards per attempt. He also showed rapport with fellow rookie Chimere Dike, connecting on a 38-yard score late in the first quarter on a deep ball to the left corner of the end zone -- one of his four completions of at least 15 yards. There were still plenty of problems with the performance, including a pair of turnovers and five sacks, highlighting Ward's inconsistency.

Titans' Cam Ward: Trio of turnovers proves costly
Cam Ward completed 26 of 38 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception Sunday. He did not record a rushing attempt and lost two fumbles in the 20-10 loss to the Raiders.Ward had Tennessee's offense in shambles out of the gates Sunday, leading six first-half drives that resulted in four punts and two turnovers (both charged to Ward). The rookie signal-caller finally woke up in the fourth quarter, but a third and final turnover thwarted any plans for a comeback. Ward managed to end a scoreless drought lasting two weeks, but he still has more interceptions thrown (four) than touchdowns (three) through six starts. The Tennessee Titans are looking like a work in progress in Ward's first season as a pro, so fantasy managers should look for safer options in Week 7.

Titans' Cam Ward: First win as pro
Cam Ward completed 21 of 39 passes for 265 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 22-21 win over the Cardinals. He also had five rushes for minus-six yards.Ward had an abysmal performance for nearly the entire game, as he went only 5-for-16 for 58 yards through two quarters. He also threw an interception late in the fourth quarter that seemingly put an end to any comeback attempt for the Tennessee Titans, only to have Dadrion Taylor-Demerson fumble the ball into the end zone for a touchdown for Tennessee. It wasn't all bad news for Ward, as he connected on deep passes of 47 and 38 yards with Calvin Ridley as key parts of the Titans' rally -- his longest completions as a pro. While it's positive that Ward was able to earn his first win in the NFL, his performance still left plenty to be desired, and he has at least one turnover in all five of his career starts.

Titans' Cam Ward: Poor performances piling up
Cam Ward completed 10 of 26 passes for 108 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Texans. He added two rushes for 22 yards.Ward continues to look overwhelmed during his rookie season, as he was unable to lead the Tennessee Titans on a scoring drive while averaging an abysmal 4.2 yards per attempt in Sunday's blowout loss. He did manage multiple completions of at least 20 yards for the third consecutive game, but Ward has only two touchdowns with four turnovers across his first four games as a pro. It's too early to make any conclusions about Ward's ability as a pro, but it has not been a good start to his career.
