Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Cedric Tillman

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been "remarkably fluid in his routes and a consistent target" for quarterback Drake Maye, according to Chad Graff of The Athletic. It's a great sign for the 31-year-old coming off an ACL tear he suffered in October 2024. Diggs played well for the Houston Texans before the injury, hauling in 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight games. The Patriots signed him to a three-year, $63.5 million contract this past offseason, and he'll be relied upon to be the number one receiver in an offense that is desperate for playmakers in the passing game. Diggs may no longer have the same downfield juice he did in his peak, but he could be a PPR monster if healthy. In Drake Maye's second season, New England's offense should be improved to at least some degree relative to 2024.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (calf) went down in the back of the end zone at training camp practice on Thursday and immediately started holding his calf, according to ESPN Cleveland. Trainers were then seen stretching Tillman's calf muscle, which could mean that Tillman was just cramping due to the heat. Although this could turn out to be just a minor injury, the Browns really can't afford to lose any more wideouts early in camp, as both David Bell (hip) and Michael Woods II (hand) are also sidelined in the early going. The 25-year-old Tillman will be given every chance to serve as the WR2 behind Jerry Jeudy in 2025 after come on strong near the end of last season before suffering a concussion in the final month. The Browns also have Diontae Johnson now, though, and Tillman is going to need to prove it. It may be difficult with Joe Flacco projected to start at QB.
