Quick answer
HoldWard threw for 3,169 yards and 15 TDs in 2025, finishing QB22. He scored about 9% less than his touches said he should. At 24, nothing in the recent seasons jumps off the page. 2026 still looks like a starter, not a stash. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
