Should You Start or Sit Cameron Ward in Week 8?
Another week passes, and nothing changes.
The 38-yard touchdown pass to Chimere Dike on the second drive was placed right where it needed to be and highlighted a 10-of-11 start.
But then we had some questionable decisions and saw him turn the ball over multiple times. The rookie has yet to have a clear game and hasn’t even reached average in any grading metric once this season.
He’s holding onto the ball at times and at others, simply isn’t surrounded with a ton of talent. I really don’t care who you blame all of the fumbles and 30 sacks on: Ward is a future asset and nothing more.
I say that to save you from yourself.
Ward is going to put some more highlight plays on film and there is going to be one person reading this who is streaming the QB position in a fantasy championship setting … “vs. Saints”.
Good matchup and a team motivated to develop their young QB, but I can’t imagine battling all season and trusting Ward to guide your team to glory.
