Who Should I Start? Cedric Tillman or Rashid Shaheed

Tuesday, September 30, 3:11 PM

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Cleveland Browns are placing wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) on the injured reserve. The former third-round pick suffered this injury during their loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. As a result, Tillman will miss at least the next four games. In a corresponding move, the Browns signed wide receivers Malachi Corley and Gage Larvadain to the active roster. Through four games, Tillman operated as a starting option in the passing attack and caught 11 passes for 106 yards and two scores. However, with Tillman slated to miss time, fantasy managers should expect veteran Jerry Jeudy to take the lead role in the offense, while rookie Isaiah Bond is expected to see a larger target share.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed broke loose for an 87-yard touchdown in the Week 5 win over the Patriots. He set a season high with 114 yards on four receptions and scored his second touchdown of the season. Quarterback Spencer Rattler finally pushed the ball downfield to Shaheed after averaging just 5.2 yards per attempt through the first four weeks. Shaheed played 67% of the offensive snaps and faces a Patriots defense allowing 242.2 passing yards per game. He is a WR3 with upside if the deep ball continues.
