Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Cedric Tillman

Saturday, September 20, 9:34 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has logged 70 offensive snaps so far this season, the second-highest mark at the position behind Zay Flowers. However, Bateman hasn't done much, amassing only four receptions (eight targets) for 25 yards. Without question, Flowers is the No. 1 wideout on the depth chart. Besides Flowers, Lamar Jackson has relied more on DeAndre Hopkins, who has found the end zone in each of Baltimore's first two contests. With that in mind, Bateman could be a factor at some point moving forward. Still, he's hard to trust. Fantasy managers should only consider him a starting option in Week 3 versus the Detroit Lions if there are no other options available.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hand, hip) logged his second consecutive limited practice session on Thursday while dealing with multiple injuries. Tillman remains as Cleveland's obvious WR2 through three weeks, as he and Jerry Jeudy are the only wideouts to eclipse 100 snaps, boasting 90 more than the next pass-catcher (Isaiah Bond). However, the 25-year-old sustained two injuries in Week 3's 13-10 win against the Green Bay Packers, putting his status for Week 4 in question. Tillman hasn't missed a practice yet, which is a positive sign for his potential designation. Still, he'll likely need to get in a full session before suiting up for their meeting with the hosting Detroit Lions. Bond is the most likely candidate to fill in if Tillman can't go, with teammate Jamari Thrash operating as their third WR. Tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr. would also get a boost.
