Cedric Tillman News
Monday, August 17, 5:40 PM
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (undisclosed) did not practice on Monday, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. We don't have many specifics on his injury, but we do know that it has sidelined him for two days in a row. Tillman is an under-the-radar candidate to be released this offseason, so it's fair to say he's fighting for his job this summer. Missing two days of practice isn't ideal, but if the injury is minor, he should get back on the field for at least one of the Browns' final two preseason games. Tillman played in 13 games last season, ranking as the WR98 in PPR leagues with 21 catches, 270 yards, and two touchdowns. Not only is he undraftable in redraft leagues, but he has also become droppable in most dynasty formats.

KaVontae Turpin News
Thursday, August 20, 7:12 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and returner KaVontae Turpin could see a reduced role in 2026. In 2025, Turpin caught 26 of 38 targets for 396 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games, averaging 4.8 half-PPR fantasy points per game. With a career-high 36% snap share, Turpin is likely to see that number decrease in 2026. With CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens as the two top receivers, third-year receiver Ryan Flournoy has had a strong camp and should see an increased workload in 2026. Flournoy had 475 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 16 games while playing 44% of the snaps. If his role improves, Turpin could be phased out as an outside receiver and used more as a gadget weapon and returner. Currently ranked as the WR108 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Turpin is well outside fantasy relevance for the 2026 season.
