Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Cedric Tillman

Saturday, September 20, 10:55 AM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been nearly invisible to start the 2025 season. In his first year outside of Seattle, the veteran has managed just two catches for nine yards on four targets across two games. His playing time has dipped, seeing the field on only 53% of snaps while operating behind Calvin Ridley and rookie Elic Ayomanor. Lockett gets a Week 3 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, who have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers so far in 2025. With the emergence of Ayomanor and no reliable snap share or target volume, Lockett remains off the fantasy radar for now.

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.
