Who Should I Start? Cedric Tillman or Jayden Reed

Monday, November 3, 11:54 AM

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2. Reed also underwent foot surgery, so he's recovering from multiple injuries. Still, it appears as though the 25-year-old could be nearing a return. Across 17 games in 2024, Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets. He'll join a crowded Packers wide receiver room upon his return and should see stiff competition for playing time and targets from Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden. However, Green Bay lost star tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) to a torn ACL in Week 9, potentially opening up opportunities in the passing game. Reed may not be active for his team's Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he still may be worth adding off the waiver wire now in fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.
