Fantasy Football Player Notes

Since Week 14, Cam Ward has thrown for multiple passing touchdowns in each game. Last week, he eclipsed 8.0 yards per attempt for the first time all season. On the surface, it looks like Ward has been improving, but he's still struggling with his accuracy. Since Week 14, among 36 qualifying passers, he has ranked 29th in yards per attempt, 32nd in highly accurate throw rate, 27th in catchable target rate, and 16th in hero throw rate. Ward will struggle this week against an improved Saints' pass defense. Since Week 12, New Orleans has allowed the second-fewest passing yards per game, the fifth-fewest yards per attempt, the sixth-lowest passer rating, and the second-lowest CPOE.
