Neither of them are good week 1 plays. Pierre Thomas has said he considers himself questionable to play week 1 because of the MCL injury, and there is no telling how the carries are going to get split up in Tampa until after a couple of real games.
If you have to start one of the two, I would keep an eye on the news and start Thomas if he is going to play, and if he sits as is likely, you would have no choice but to go with Ward.
