Cam Ward vs Malik Willis: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Cam Ward finished the 2025 season at 11.4 PPG over 17 games with the Tennessee Titans, while Malik Willis clocked in at 12.8 across 4 appearances for the Miami Dolphins. A 1.4-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Cam Ward threw for 3169 yards and 15 touchdowns, while Malik Willis posted 422 yards and 3 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

One scheduling note: Cam Ward is off Week 5 and Malik Willis Week 6. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor Malik Willis at 12.8 PPG, 1.4 points per game above Cam Ward's 11.4. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
