Who Should I Start? George Pickens or Cedric Tillman

Tuesday, November 11, 2:09 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens comes into Week 11 as the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, largely on the strength of what he was able to accomplish while teammate CeeDee Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury. In the three games that Lamb missed, Pickens averaged 120 yards per game while scoring four touchdowns and finishing as the weekly WR2, WR19, and WR1. In the three games since Lamb's return, Pickens has failed to find the endzone, and he finished as a top-24 wide receiver only once (WR20 in Week 8). However, he has still seen nine targets in two out of three games while averaging nearly 80 receiving yards per game. In Week 11, as many teams start to face inclement weather, the Cowboys will be playing in a dome against a Las Vegas Raiders team that has been one of the most generous to fantasy receivers. Dallas is coming out of their bye week and has one of the highest implied point totals of the week, giving both Lamb and Pickens a legitimate shot to finish as top-12 receivers.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (glute) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Tillman was limited during the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session on Friday. That was enough to clear Tillman ahead of this divisional matchup. Tillman made his return to the field during last week's contest. He hauled in two of his four targets for 11 yards in the loss to the New York Jets. The Browns could be easing him back into action, but regardless he won't be a great option for this weekend. Fantasy managers should consider Tillman a WR4 for this game.
