The Tennessee Titans (1-7) will host the Los Angeles Chargers (5-3) in Week 9. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Cameron Ward.
Is Cam Ward Playing in Week 9?
Ward is not on the injury report and, barring a surprise, is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Titans’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Ward in Week 9?
Cam Ward continues to seek his first multi-TD pass game of his career, so while it’s nice to see some reasonable yardage totals through the air (255+ yards in three of four games in October), he’s still nowhere near fantasy radars in one-QB leagues.
The return of Calvin Ridley helps his upside case, but it doesn’t mitigate the low floor that comes with this rookie’s development. Ward has been sacked at least four times in three straight games and six times this season: this isn’t a situation built for fantasy success.
Will that change in 2026?
We can only hope.
