Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Cedric Tillman

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has emerged as the team's clear-cut No. 1 receiver entering 2025. The former first-rounder broke out last season with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns. Despite leading the league in pass attempts, Cleveland ranked just 22nd in passing yards, exposing inefficiencies in the quarterback room. Enter Joe Flacco, who brings much-needed accuracy and stability to the offense. With Flacco under center, Jeudy should see even more consistent production. Diontae Johnson and Cedric Tillman will compete for the WR2 role, but Jeudy remains the focal point in Cleveland's passing attack.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (calf) is back at training camp practice on Saturday, according to The Athletic's Zac Jackson. Tillman left practice early on Friday with what appeared to be calf cramping, but he's back in action a day later and shouldn't have any concerns going forward. The 25-year-old former third-rounder (74th overall) in 2023 out of Tennessee came on strong midway through last season when Jameis Winston took over at quarterback, but a concussion cut his season short. Heading into his third year in the NFL, he should be a starter in three-wide sets for Cleveland next to Jerry Jeudy and Diontae Johnson. In his two seasons with the Browns, Tillman has caught 50 of 93 targets for 563 yards and three touchdowns in 25 games (nine starts). He has opportunity, but with either Joe Flacco or Kenny Pickett at QB, Tillman's fantasy upside will be limited.
