Cedric Tillman Nearing Cut Candidacy in Dynasty Leagues

Friday, April 10, 5:24 AM

After a disappointing rookie season in 2023, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman briefly flashed week-winning potential during a mid-season stretch of his sophomore campaign before a concussion ended his season. He started 2025 strong with touchdowns in each of his first two games, but he quickly faded into fantasy obscurity, failing to find the end zone again for the rest of the year and finishing his third season with only 270 yards on 21 catches. Already tied to a sub-optimal quarterback situation and having already failed to stand out amid one of the league's weakest receiver rooms, Tillman's outlook would already look bleak enough without the Browns being linked to the top receivers in the upcoming rookie class. With the target pecking order behind tight end Harold Fannin Jr. so unsorted, dynasty managers who can afford to keep Tillman rostered into the season should do so until his usage is revealed. However, should he continue on his career-long 4.0 fantasy points per game pace, he will no longer need to be treated as a hold.

Packers "Clearing the Way" for Matthew Golden on WR Depth Chart

Wednesday, April 15, 10:45 AM

The Green Bay Packers are "clearing the way" for wide receiver Matthew Golden to move up the depth chart as he heads into his second season in the NFL, writes Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers let Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and then recently traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Packers never made Golden, a first-rounder (23rd overall) in 2025, a focal point of the offense last year, and he finished with just 29 catches for 361 yards and no touchdowns in 14 regular-season games. Golden caught four passes for 84 yards and his first career touchdown reception in the playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. "I think his ceiling is very, very high. We're very, very excited about what he's going to do for our football team moving forward," general manager Brian Gutekunst said. Christian Watson will be the Packers' No. 1 wideout and big-play threat, but he's also been very injury-prone in his career. Jayden Reed is also expected to have a bigger role, but with both Doubs and Wicks out of town, Golden should be much more involved in 2026 after he let his frustration with his rookie role be known. In single-year leagues, Golden will be a WR4/flex option with big-play abilities and still plenty of upside.
