Who Should I Start? Cedric Tillman or Cameron Ward

Tuesday, November 18, 2:53 PM

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.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward went 24-for-37 for 194 yards with one touchdown in the crushing 16-13 loss on Sunday to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Ward also had three carries for a career high of 33 rushing yards with one lost fumble. The 23-year-old first overall pick put together his best fantasy performance of his young career, scoring over 14 fantasy points. Ward threw his lone touchdown to veteran wide receiver Van Jefferson on Sunday, making it his third game in four weeks throwing a touchdown. However, Ward had another turnover, bringing his total to 12 this season. Ward will once again be a QB3 in fantasy in a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.
