Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman turned in a decent effort in a Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, catching three of his four targets for 52 yards in defeat. Tillman will now head on the road to face off against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. The Raiders have been an excellent matchup for receivers this season as they are allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. While the fact the Browns are starting unknown quantity Shedeur Sanders at quarterback isn't ideal, Tillman will run many of his routes against Kyu Blu Kelly, who was partially responsible for George Pickens' explosive nine-catch, 144-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 11. Tillman isn't a safe play, but he is on the radar in fantasy as a dart-throw flex option and is even worth a look as a low-priced option in DFS tournaments.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman led the team with 52 receiving yards in a Week 11 loss to the Ravens and now prepares to face a Raiders defense that has struggled to defend the pass all year. In his second game back after missing four games with a hamstring injury, he showed glimpses of the play strength that showed up in his sophomore season, before suffering a season-ending concussion. Unfortunately for Tillman and the rest of the Cleveland pass catchers, the Browns quarterback situation is currently one of the least desirable in the league. With Dillon Gabriel still in concussion protocol, Shedeur Sanders will likely get the first start of his career in Week 12. And while this week will mark the first time that Sanders gets any reps practicing with the team's starters, what he put on film on Sunday while filling in for the injured Gabriel should not inspire confidence for fantasy managers. Even facing a generous Las Vegas defense, it would be difficult to trust Tillman this week. However, he remains an interesting stash, if only to see what sort of chemistry he's able to develop with whoever remains Cleveland's starter down the stretch.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman caught three of his four targets for 52 yards in a 23-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Tillman wound up leading the Browns in receiving in a game where they only threw for 115 yards. Things weren't helped by the fact that Dillon Gabriel was knocked out of the game with a concussion and Shedeur Sanders only completed four of his 16 passes in relief. Tillman has not found the end zone since Week 2 but his decent outing on Sunday was at least encouraging. He will look to build on that in Week 12's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (glute) practiced fully on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday with a glute injury. He is listed without an injury designation and is ready to go for a Week 11 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Last week, Tillman made his return from a stay on injured reserve, catching two of his four targets for 11 yards in a loss to the New York Jets. He draws an excellent Week 11 matchup against a Ravens defense that is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers. That being said, the Cleveland offense has been one of the worst in the league, making their pass catchers tough to trust even in good matchups. Tillman sets up as a boom/bust WR5 in Week 11.
Nov 15, 2025 8:29 AM EST
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (glute) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Tillman was limited during the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session on Friday. That was enough to clear Tillman ahead of this divisional matchup. Tillman made his return to the field during last week's contest. He hauled in two of his four targets for 11 yards in the loss to the New York Jets. The Browns could be easing him back into action, but regardless he won't be a great option for this weekend. Fantasy managers should consider Tillman a WR4 for this game.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (glute) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Tillman made his return to the field this past weekend. Before this, Tillman had missed the previous four games due to a hamstring issue. The 25-year-old hauled in two of his four targets for 11 yards in the loss to the New York Jets. The fact Tillman is limited to start the week could just be the Browns being cautious with him. It doesn't appear that Tillman is going to have a huge role in this offense going forward. Despite that, his status is still worth monitoring ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
Nov 12, 2025 9:54 PM EST
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman made his return from Injured Reserve in the Week 10 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday and played a healthy 73% of the offensive snaps, catching two of his four targets for 11 yards. Tillman's numbers certainly didn't stand out in the 27-20 loss in his first game back from injury, but his role should grow going forward, making him worth a look off the waiver wire this week. The 25-year-old is only rostered in 10% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available in fantasy football leagues. In four games before his injury, Tillman caught 11 of his 20 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns as the clear WR2 behind Jerry Jeudy. Tight ends Harold Fannin Jr. and David Njoku aren't going to remain heavily involved in the Browns' passing attack, but Tillman has the clear leg up to regain the WR2 role to close out the 2025 season.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is officially active for the Week 10 contest on Sunday against the hosting New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. Tillman will be playing in his first game since injuring his hamstring in Week 4, so he could have some limitations in terms of his snap count this weekend. The matchup is a good one against a Jets secondary that just traded away All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner, but the 25-year-old will still be a pretty risky WR4/flex for fantasy managers in his first game back with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel now running the Browns' offense. Still, Tillman is worth a pickup off the waiver wire if he's available in your league and you need WR depth. Rookie wideout Isaiah Bond (foot) is out on Sunday, so it's possible Tillman is heavily involved right away.
Nov 9, 2025 11:51 AM EST
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 10 against the Jets. The wideout appeared in only four games this season, amassing 11 receptions (20 targets) for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, he injured his hamstring and has been sitting on the shelf for over a month. Tillman practiced in full everyday this week, so his activation from the Injured Reserve list on Saturday wasn't surprising. All things considered, it's unknown if he'll be limited in his first game back. However, Tillman's presence may be enough to lower the ceiling of Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku. That would apply to Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring), who is also in line to suit up versus New York.
Nov 8, 2025 10:24 PM EST
The Cleveland Browns activated wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Tillman was able to practice in full every day this week and will make his return in Week 10 against the New York Jets after missing four weeks due to a hamstring injury. Tillman was productive over the first four games of the season, catching 11 of his 20 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old wideout had a mini-breakout last season after the Browns traded away Amari Cooper, catching 24 of 40 targets for 302 yards and three touchdowns in a four-game span before his season was cut short due to a concussion. Cleveland's offensive environment is not as favorable this season with Dillon Gabriel at the helm, and while Tillman presents some upside, he shouldn't be in fantasy lineups for Week 10.
Nov 8, 2025 1:40 PM EST
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) has practiced fully all week and is expected to make his return in Week 10 after a four-week stay on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. If Tillman ultimately ends up playing, he will make his return on the road against the New York Jets. The veteran got off a fast start in 2025, catching touchdowns in each of his first two games, although his production tailed off in Weeks 3 and 4 before his hamstring issue. The Jets' secondary should be vulnerable after they traded Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday at the NFL trade deadline. That being said, the Cleveland passing attack hasn't inspired much confidence with Dillon Gabriel at the helm, leaving Tillman as a WR5/desperation flex in fantasy heading into Week 10.
Nov 7, 2025 6:19 PM EST
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he expects wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) to be activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and play against the New York Jets on Sunday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. It will be a boost to what has been a rough Browns offense led by rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Tillman has been on IR since injuring his hamstring in Week 4, though, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the 25-year-old is eased back into the fold. However, it's good news for Cleveland's WR room, with rookie Isaiah Bond (foot) looking unlikely to play. When fully healthy, Tillman should serve as the team's WR2 behind Jerry Jeudy, who has really struggled in 2025. Before landing on IR, Tillman had 11 catches on 20 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He's worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup if you're hurting at WR, but we wouldn't recommend starting him in his first game back.
Nov 7, 2025 1:36 PM EST
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. Tillman was recently designated to return from the injured reserve. The 25-year-old has been out since suffering a hamstring injury during the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The fact Tillman was able to practice in full to begin the week is a good sign heading into the Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets. Before going down, Tillman hauled in 11 of his 20 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns in four games. He's unlikely to be a viable streaming option given how poorly this offense has played with Dillon Gabriel under center.
Nov 5, 2025 8:41 PM EST
Per the team, the Cleveland Browns have activated the practice window for wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring). Defensive back Damontae Kazee was released in a corresponding move. Tillman picked up a hamstring injury in Cleveland's Week 4 loss to the Lions that sent him directly to injured reserve. As of now, the team will have 21 days to activate him. The Browns can undoubtedly use another option out wide, as the offense has been stagnant under rookie signal-caller Dillon Gabriel. The situation in Cleveland isn't ideal, though, as Gabriel has barely been able to support one fantasy-relevant pass-catcher. Moreover, it isn't out of the question that fellow rookie QB Shedeur Sanders (back) eventually gets a shot to make the offense his own. Tillman is a decent grab-and-stash option for now. However, he isn't as tantalizing a play as he was earlier this season with veteran Joe Flacco at the helm.
Nov 3, 2025 11:54 AM EST
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 10 against the New York Jets after the team's Week 9 bye, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Tillman is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened this week. Whether the 25-year-old actually returns in Week 10 will depend on how he looks once he gets back on the practice field. Before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4, Tillman caught 11 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns on 20 targets, but that was also when veteran quarterback Joe Flacco was still starting for the team. With rookie Dillon Gabriel now starting under center and mostly struggling, Tillman isn't going to be as intriguing as a WR4/flex in fantasy football lineups.
Oct 27, 2025 6:15 PM EST
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Cleveland Browns are placing wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on the injured reserve. The former third-round pick suffered this injury during their loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. As a result, Tillman will miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Browns signed wide receivers Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster. Through four games, Tillman operated as a starting option in the passing attack and caught 11 passes for 106 yards and two scores. However, with Tillman slated to miss time, fantasy managers should expect veteran Jerry Jeudy to take the lead role in the offense, while rookie Isaiah Bond is expected to see a larger target share.
Sep 30, 2025 3:11 PM EST
Cleveland Browns third-year wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) exited during the second quarter of his team's loss to the Lions on Sunday and is now expected to miss multiple weeks. Through four games, Tillman's 20 targets are the third most on the team, and trail only Jerry Jeudy among wide receivers, and he is the only Cleveland pass-catcher with multiple touchdowns. Rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond, who led the team in targets and receiving yards on Sunday, is expected to see an increased workload, but Browns quarterback Joe Flacco has not topped 200 passing yards since the team's season-opener against a porous Bengals defense. With Cleveland's offensive line dealing with a rash of injuries and murmurs of a quarterback change coming soon, this is not a passing game in which fantasy managers should currently be looking to invest.
Sep 29, 2025 2:46 PM EST
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury. Tillman had one catch for six yards on two targets before getting injured. The 25-year-old is a key piece of the Cleveland passing game. In his absence, Browns wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond will likely see an uptick in both playing time and target share.
Sep 28, 2025 2:29 PM EST
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hand, hip) practiced fully on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday. The veteran wide receiver should be good to go for his team's Week 4 road matchup against the Detroit Lions. Tillman has caught both of Joe Flacco's touchdown passes this season, totalling 10 catches for 100 yards thus far. The Lions represent a plus matchup for Tillman as they are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts through three weeks. Tillman is worth a look as a flex option/WR4 in fantasy this weekend.
Sep 26, 2025 4:16 PM EST
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hand, hip) logged his second consecutive limited practice session on Thursday while dealing with multiple injuries. Tillman remains as Cleveland's obvious WR2 through three weeks, as he and Jerry Jeudy are the only wideouts to eclipse 100 snaps, boasting 90 more than the next pass-catcher (Isaiah Bond). However, the 25-year-old sustained two injuries in Week 3's 13-10 win against the Green Bay Packers, putting his status for Week 4 in question. Tillman hasn't missed a practice yet, which is a positive sign for his potential designation. Still, he'll likely need to get in a full session before suiting up for their meeting with the hosting Detroit Lions. Bond is the most likely candidate to fill in if Tillman can't go, with teammate Jamari Thrash operating as their third WR. Tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr. would also get a boost.
