Cedric

Tillman

Tillman didn’t practice either of the first two sessions of the week, but has a chance to play. He doesn’t have much of a fantasy role at this point, as the Browns can only reliably count on Harold Fannin and Jerry Jeudy to deliver actual production. Tillman has not scored since September 14 and hasn’t cracked 55 yards all season.

Tillman is on track to miss the team’s Week 15 game against the Bears, and does not need to be rostered in re-draft formats. The 25-year-old wide receiver has appeared in nine games this season. He has failed to produce even 55 receiving yards in a single one.

Tillman caught one pass for 23 yards versus Tennessee on Sunday. His role was already on the decline before suffering the concussion and rib injuries. He is now a safe bet to miss Week 15 entirely. Isaiah Bond will see an uptick in routes in his absence, though there isn’t much fantasy value to be had in Cleveland outside of Jerry Jeudy and Harold Fannin.

Tillman ran a pass route on 23 of the Browns’ 29 drop backs in a game that saw the run-first Browns throw just 28 passes. Tillman now has seven receptions over his past four games as the WR3 for Cleveland. He should remain on waiver wires ahead of the Browns’ Week 14 game against the Titans.

Tillman led the Browns with three catches for 52 yards in Week 11. He led the receiving room with three targets, tied with Jerry Jeudy, this week but failed to hit on any big plays. The Browns are a run-first team that won’t be projected for many passing yards no matter who starts for them in Week 13. Tillman is not on the fantasy radar versus the 49ers next week.

Tillman led the Browns in receiving and helped QB Dillon Gabriel, pre-concussion, complete the longest pass of his career, going for 26 yards, on the Browns’ fifth drive. Tillman could warrant WR4/FLEX consideration against the Raiders next week, though the big-bodied wide receiver possesses a very low floor.

Bond and WR Cedric Tillman (glute) both practiced in full on Friday and logged limited sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately, neither player is reliable enough to make their way into 12-team re-draft starting lineups. Both generally occupy a similar field-stretching role.

Bond missed Week 10 with a foot injury but returns in a limited fashion to open Week 11. A full practice later in the week boosts Bonds’s chances of playing against the Ravens, but he does not have much fantasy relevance in the Dillon Gabriel offense. Cedric Tillman (glute) was also limited a week after coming off injured reserve. Tillman is ahead of Bond is the pass-catching order.

Active for the first time since Week 4 as he returned from his hamstring injury, Tillman briefly visited the blue medical tent but managed to finish the contest. Apparently once again the Browns’ No. 2 wideout over rookie Isaiah Bond, Tillman is a distant No. 4 weapon behind Jerry Jeudy, Harold Fannin and David Njoku. He doesn’t have much of a path to 12-team league value, including for Week 11 against the Ravens.

Tillman was listed as questionable after being activated from injured reserve over the weekend. The questionable tag was largely a procedural matter. Tillman will return to a Browns offense helmed by Dillon Gabriel. The rookie hasn’t found much success this year. He has been at his best when checking the ball down to his tight ends. Tillman should remain on fantasy benches for at least one more week to develop some chemistry with Gabriel.
