Cedric Tillman News
Tuesday, February 17, 9:25 AM
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman had a three-game flash near the middle of his sophomore season, during which time he caught 21 passes for 255 yards and two scores. Unfortunately, nothing he's shown before or since has indicated a need to keep him rostered anywhere outside of the deepest dynasty leagues. Remaining relatively healthy throughout the 2025 season, the soon-to-be 26-year-old totaled only 21 receptions for 270 yards and two touchdowns, unable to carve out a meaningful role on one of the league's worst receiving units. With rookie drafts approaching in many dynasty leagues, managers now face decisions over who to cut to make room for the new class. With early reports tying Cleveland to some of the top receiving talent in the NFL draft, and with no promise of improved quarterback play in 2026, Tillman no longer needs to be held if roster space is at a premium.

Luther Burden III News
Thursday, March 5, 7:46 AM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III finished his rookie season on a tear that had him widely regarded as a Year 2 breakout candidate, and following the team's trade of DJ Moore to the Bills, his stock will only continue to rise. Burden's 2.69 yards per route run led all rookies in 2025 and trailed only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba among all the league's receivers. Among his own team, however, he was unable to carve out a significant role, with four Chicago players topping the 650-yard mark, while none could crack 750. With Moore's 80 targets, 682 yards, and six touchdowns now being shipped to Buffalo, Burden, Rome Odunze, and tight end Colston Loveland should all see significant production spikes in 2026.
