Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Cedric Tillman

Saturday, November 1, 9:49 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been a steady contributor in fantasy football this season. Through eight games, he's averaging 11.9 fantasy points (full-PPR) while ranking as the overall WR26. He has posted double-digit points in four of his last five games, and he salvaged last week's fantasy outing with his first touchdown of the season. While Kayshon Boutte has been a big-play threat in New England, Diggs has been more of a reliable, short-to-medium passing option for Drake Maye. The 31-year-old is listed first on the depth chart of a 6-2 team whose offense is firing on all cylinders. That's always a good sign. Despite the Falcons allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, Diggs should be deployed as a low-end WR2.

Per the team, the Cleveland Browns have activated the practice window for wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hamstring). Defensive back Damontae Kazee was released in a corresponding move. Tillman picked up a hamstring injury in Cleveland's Week 4 loss to the Lions that sent him directly to injured reserve. As of now, the team will have 21 days to activate him. The Browns can undoubtedly use another option out wide, as the offense has been stagnant under rookie signal-caller Dillon Gabriel. The situation in Cleveland isn't ideal, though, as Gabriel has barely been able to support one fantasy-relevant pass-catcher. Moreover, it isn't out of the question that fellow rookie QB Shedeur Sanders (back) eventually gets a shot to make the offense his own. Tillman is a decent grab-and-stash option for now. However, he isn't as tantalizing a play as he was earlier this season with veteran Joe Flacco at the helm.
