  "account": "Week 3 of fantasy football has seen Cam Ward deliver a pair of rushing touchdowns against the Eagles, bringing his career total to a new high. However, despite this impressive performance, Ward still finds himself ranked 30th among quarterbacks in PFN's Week 3 rankings.\n\nWard's rushing output has been inconsistent throughout his year in the league, but his passing numbers alone don't seem to be enough to secure a top spot. Currently, he's leading only Bryce Young among active top-10 picks in passing yards, with 3,492 yards in his first 19 starts.\n\nConsidering his rushing struggles and the need for strong passing performance, the question arises: should you start or sit Cam Ward in Week 3? The answer is clear, as Ward's rushing touchdowns have not changed the mathematical analysis. Even after two weeks, concerns remain about his ranking in the quarterback position, with 30 being his current standing in PFN's Week 3 Quarterback Rankings.",
  "summary": "A pair of rushing touchdowns against the Eagles doubled Ward’s career total, and he still lands 30th among quarterbacks in PFN’s Week 3 rankings for the trip to New York. That rushing production has been spotty across his year-plus in the league, and the passing numbers alone are nowhere near enough: 3,492 yards in his first 19 starts, ahead of only Bryce Young among active top-10 picks.",
