Cam Ward Week 5 Outlook - Texans at Titans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 8th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Cam Ward continues to work out his quarterbacking demons in real time this season as the QB27 in fantasy points per game. He has only one game with more than 17 fantasy points. Among 29 qualifying passers, Ward has the fourth-lowest yards per attempt, the eighth-lowest passing success rate, the fourth-lowest aDOT, and the lowest highly accurate throw rate. Houston's pass defense has been horrid to begin the season, but they are still pressuring the quarterback well, which could be Ward's undoing this week. Houston has allowed the seventh-most EPA per dropback, the tenth-most fantasy points per dropback, and the ninth-highest CPOE, but they also have the sixth-best pressure rate. Ward is a low-end QB2 again this week.
