Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Cedric Tillman

For the second straight week, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye said he wants to get the ball to wide receiver Stefon Diggs more, according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. "Got full trust in (Diggs). He just keeps showing it every week. You just try to get him the ball more. I told him that, you know, today," Maye said. After saying the same thing last week, Diggs was targeted a season-low three times and caught all three for a season-low 23 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 31-year-old veteran has at least been efficient in his first three games with the Pats, catching 13 of his 15 targets, but he's gone for only 112 yards and no touchdowns. It's possible he's lost some juice after tearing his ACL last year, but it's good news that his QB is looking to keep him involved. Diggs will be a low-upside, touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in a good Week 4 matchup at home against the Carolina Panthers.

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.
