Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion, ribs) is officially active on Sunday to face the hosting Chicago Bears in Week 15. Tillman managed to clear the league's concussion protocol despite not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday. The 25-year-old is also battling through a rib injury as well and might not be 100% for this weekend's game in the Windy City. Tillman could have a bigger role in Cleveland's passing attack with tight end David Njoku (knee) out, but he's still a pretty hard receiver to trust as a WR4/flex in starting fantasy lineups, even in deeper leagues. In the three games that rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has started, Tillman has only two catches for 28 yards. Tillman scored in the first two weeks of the season but hasn't found the end zone since, and he only has 18 receptions on the year for 197 yards on 35 targets.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion, ribs) suffered a concussion late in the fourth quarter against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. After missing two practices this week, he managed to log a limited session on Friday, demonstrating some progress in the NFL's concussion protocol. However, Tillman, who is also battling a rib injury, is questionable to suit up for Sunday's Week 15 game against the Chicago Bears. Tillman was already a risky start, as he has not exceeded 10 fantasy points since early September and has only 18 receptions and 197 total yards over his nine games played. In the likely event Tillman is ruled out, rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond should see more opportunities, and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. should have additional targets.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion, ribs) is officially listed as questionable for his team's Week 15 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Tillman missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The 25-year-old has battled through an injury-filled 2025 season to this point, recording 18 receptions for 197 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets across nine games played. If Tillman is unable to play in Week 15, Browns wideouts Jerry Jeudy, Isaiah Bond, and Gage Larvadain could all be in line for an uptick in targets and playing time. Cleveland has definitively ruled out tight end David Njoku (knee) and top pass-catching running back Dylan Sampson (calf, hand), so the team's target distribution against Chicago could be quite condensed.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion, ribs) is missing a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Tillman is in the league's concussion protocol and is also dealing with a rib injury, making it unlikely that he'll be able to play this weekend on the road in Chicago against the Bears. The 25-year-old sustained both injuries in the Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans, when he caught just one of three targets for 23 yards. Tillman hasn't made much noise in 2025 and has dealt with injuries that have limited him to nine games. The former third-rounder hasn't had more than three catches in a game since Week 1, and he hasn't had more than one reception since Nov. 16. Overall, he has an 18-197-2 line and is not worth rostering right now in 12-team fantasy leagues. Rookie Isaiah Bond could see more looks deep down the field in Chicago if Tillman is ruled out.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion, rib) is not expected to practice with the team on Wednesday, per Browns Zone's Scott Petrak. With two injuries, Tillman should be considered questionable to take the field this Sunday to take on the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old will need to clear the league's concussion protocol later this week in order to get the green light to play this weekend. He played 64% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans and caught one of his three targets for 23 yards. Even if Tillman gains clearance later this week, fantasy managers won't be in a hurry to throw him into their starting lineups, especially with the playoffs starting in most leagues. Tillman hasn't had more than one catch in a game since Nov. 16 against the Ravens, and he's caught only 18 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns in nine games in 2025. If Tillman doesn't play in Week 15, rookie Isaiah Bond would become a more attractive big-play option in deeper leagues.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman hasn't been a big fantasy contributor since returning in Week 10 against the New York Jets after missing four games due to a hamstring injury. The 25-year-old has recorded six receptions for 68 yards on 12 targets over the past four games, while posting the third-highest route share (63.8%) for the Browns, trailing only Jerry Jeudy and rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. Tillman is tough to trust for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, with the current state of the Browns' offense. The Titans have allowed the sixth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers, but Tillman is only an option in deeper leagues in Week 14.
Dec 6, 2025 1:30 PM EST
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman turned in a slow outing in Week 12 despite a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, catching just one of his three targets for five yards. Tillman will look to bounce back at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 49ers have been generous to wide receivers this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. That being said, Tillman was unable to take advantage of an even better matchup against the Raiders last week, so this week's plus matchup doesn't necessarily make him a must-start. Tillman settles in as a boom/bust WR5 who is safe to leave on fantasy benches this weekend.
Nov 28, 2025 9:29 PM EST
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.
Nov 21, 2025 8:30 PM EST
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.
Nov 18, 2025 2:53 PM EST
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.
Nov 16, 2025 9:21 PM EST
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.
Nov 14, 2025 9:25 PM EST
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.
Nov 11, 2025 12:12 PM EST
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.
