Who Should I Start? Justyn Ross or Cedric Tillman

Monday, November 4, 7:19 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs elevated wide receiver Justyn Ross from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Monday night for the Week 9 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It will be Ross' first game of 2024 on the team's active roster with JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) missing his second straight game. KC is also without Rashee Rice (knee) and Marquise Brown (shoulder) for the rest of the year, which led them to trade for veteran DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins should have a bigger role on Monday alongside rookie Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson and Mecole Hardman, with tight end Travis Kelce also having a higher ceiling and floor in fantasy. The 24-year-old Ross had six catches for 53 yards in his 10 regular-season games for the Chiefs a season ago. Fantasy managers should continue to ignore Ross.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Tillman has a chance at returning to the field this weekend for the first time since Week 12. However, Tillman is likely going to need to get through a full practice session on Friday in order to get cleared for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. If active, Tillman is likely going to lose some streaming appeal since he was last on the field. Quarterback Jameis Winston has been benched in favor of Dorian Thompson-Robinson. The expectation is that the Browns are going to do more running and read options with Thompson-Robinson under center. That being said, Tillman will probably fall into the low-end WR3 range, assuming he's active for Week 16.
