Titans sticking with QB Cam Ward

Oct 12, 2026

The Titans now rank dead last in points scored and offensive yards, which led to a question for head coach Robert Saleh at his postgame press conference about whether the team needs to consider benching the quarterback in hopes of sparking better offensive results. Saleh said it is not on the team’s radar.

“Cam Ward’s our starting quarterback,” Saleh said. “We’re going to give him every opportunity to be successful this year. We’re going to continue working with him, grinding with him and trying to help him get better.”

Fantasy Impact:

The story pointed out Ward hasn't been improving, and is possibly heading in the other direction. The story mentioned Tennessee punted four times and turned the ball over twice before failing on two fourth downs in the fourth quarter of a 26-3 loss that dropped them to 0-5 on the season. They ended the game with 187 yards and Ward was 23-of-36 for 170 yards while being sacked four times. Trubisky is the Titans backup, he's 32 and doesn't necessarily offer a lot more upside, but either way the Titans appearing to be riding things out with Ward. At this point, it wouldn't be shocking if the Titans targeted a QB in the talent-rich 2027 NFL Draft.

Steelers WR Roman Wilson (finger) to miss time

Jeremy Fowler on X

Steelers WR Roman Wilson is expected to miss a couple of weeks due to a finger injury suffered Sunday, per source.

Related players: DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard, Ben Skowronek

Fantasy Impact:

Fowler added Wilson is still gathering info and seeking a second opinion. The rookie Bernard was the team's top target at WR in Week 5, catching six balls for 80 yards on nine targets. Wilson was coming off back to back strong games in Weeks 3 and 4, so it's a tough loss as he was disappearing off fantasy waiver wires. Metcalf wasn't a fantasy factor in Week 5, so Bernard becomes an attractive and interesting potential waiver pickup for those needing help at WR. Bernard was a solid prospect in the NFL Draft this past spring and was considered a second round target in dynasty league drafts, so there is some fantasy potential there. But the Steelers passing game has been a little inconsistent when it comes to fantasy production.

Falcons QB Michael Penix dealing with rib injury

The final play of Sunday night’s game saw Falcons backup quarterback Tua Tagovailoa throw an interception to seal the Ravens’ 30-23 overtime win while starter Michael Penix watched from the sideline with a rib injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said after the loss, Penix said he thinks he could have stayed in if the Falcons got the ball first in OT, but, “it just started to get worse and worse as we were sitting there.” Penix will have more testing done on the injury, but said he does not think it is going to be a long-term absence. We know we can't trust players when it comes to injuries, however, and that's especially true with a rib injury. This will be something to watch this week. The Falcons have a game in the early window of Week 6, hosting the Bears.

David Montgomery could miss time with groin injury

Aaron Wilson

Texans RB David Montgomery could miss time with a groin injury, head coach DeMeco Ryans said after Sunday’s win over the Titans.

Fantasy Impact:

Monty suffered the during the second quarter. He tallied 11 yards on five carries before leaving. It’s been quite the struggle for Monty since his 3-touchdown outing in Week 1. He has not scored more than seven fantasy points in his last four games. In fact, he hasn’t even reached 50 total yards in that stretch. Woody Marks stands to take over the lead role in the Houston backfield. The 1-4 Texans travel to London to meet the 4-1 Jaguars in Week 6 before a date with the Giants in Week 7 and then Houston has their bye in Week 8.
