Who Should I Start? Cedric Tillman or Xavier Worthy

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 10 against the New York Jets after the team's Week 9 bye, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Tillman is eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened this week. Whether the 25-year-old actually returns in Week 10 will depend on how he looks once he gets back on the practice field. Before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4, Tillman caught 11 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns on 20 targets, but that was also when veteran quarterback Joe Flacco was still starting for the team. With rookie Dillon Gabriel now starting under center and mostly struggling, Tillman isn't going to be as intriguing as a WR4/flex in fantasy football lineups.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Washington Commanders on Monday night in Week 8. Worthy was listed on the injury report with shoulder and ankle injuries, but practiced fully all week and does not have an injury designation ahead of this week's contest. Worthy had a pedestrian performance in Week 7, catching three passes for 35 yards in the 31-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. With the return of Rashee Rice from suspension in Week 7, Worthy was relegated to a more complementary role in the offense. Worthy's production moving forward will likely be sporadic, given that he was one of five Chiefs to catch at least three passes in last week's contest. The speedy wideout is more of a downfield winner with the ability to produce big plays, but his fantasy production could be lacking if he doesn't hit on one of those plays. Worthy will look to break off an explosive play this week against the Commanders, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy is ranked WR21 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a viable WR2 option during a week with six teams on bye.
