Who Should I Start? Treylon Burks or Cedric Tillman

Saturday, October 19, 12:45 PM

According to sources, the Tennessee Titans are expected to place wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) on Injured Reserve after he suffered a non-contact knee injury in practice this week. Moving Burks to IR would mean he would not be eligible to play for the next four weeks. The earliest Burks would be eligible to return would be for a Week 11 date against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 17. The 24-year-old former 18th overall pick in 2022 out of Arkansas has been a bust for the Titans in two-plus seasons in the NFL. In five games this year, he's caught four of eight targets for 34 yards and no touchdowns and is well off the fantasy radar, especially after his new knee injury. In Burks' absence for the foreseeable future, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who caught a touchdown in last week's loss to the Colts, should see more run as depth behind Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (head) entered concussion protocol after exiting Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Tillman was visibly woozy and disoriented after taking a hit late in the third quarter. The Browns initially listed Tillman as questionable, but as soon as he entered concussion protocol, he was deemed ineligible to return. He finished Week 12 with four catches, two targets, 28 yards, and a lost fumble. Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore remain the Browns' top two receivers but could see additional volume if Tillman doesn't clear protocol in time for Week 13.
