Who Should I Start? Cedric Tillman or Matthew Golden

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 head coach Matt LaFleur called rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) day-to-day on Monday after he suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. It's not a long-term injury for Golden, but how much he's able to do at practice this week will determine whether he's able to suit up in Week 10 on Monday Night Football in a showdown against the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles. The 22-year-old pass-catcher caught two of his three targets for only nine yards on Sunday before getting injured, so he was a bust for any fantasy managers who started him in Week 9. There have been glimpses of the star potential that Golden has in 2025, but he hasn't been able to put it all together yet. The good news is that he should have a bigger role going forward with tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) now done for the year due to a torn ACL.
