Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Cedric Tillman

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will plead guilty to a lesser vehicular offense commonly referred to as a "wet reckless" a year after his initial DUI citation, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. As a result, Addison will pay a standard fine and complete two online courses, although we must still wait to see how the NFL reacts. The 23-year-old's probation is expected to be terminated early in six months. A 2025 suspension for Addison is still possible, although if he is suspended by commissioner Roger Goodell, we wouldn't expect it to be for more than two or three games at the most. The former first-rounder took a slight step back in Year 2 in 2024 with a 63-875-9 line in 15 starts, but he was still plenty productive behind All-Pro Justin Jefferson. With a suspension still looming, Addison's fantasy value is still a bit shaky as a WR3/flex.

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.
