Cam Ward struggles in loss to Jets; ranks last among QBs for Week 2
Summary

Cam Ward, during a 23-10 loss to the Jets, scored a touchdown but ranks 32nd among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 2 rankings. Despite showing promise with 21 rushing yards and a late touchdown to Elic Ayomanor, experts suggest he remains a long shot to be a viable fantasy option as the Eagles prepare for their upcoming match. His performance against a struggling Jets defense did not raise confidence in his passing effectiveness, which was marked by low yards per attempt. As the regular season progresses, potential improvements in Ward’s performance may be necessary for fantasy value.

The late touchdown to Elic Ayomanor in a 23-10 loss to the Jets was good to see, but that is a thin thing to hang a start on with the Eagles in town. Ward lands 32nd among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 2 rankings.
