Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or Cedric Tillman

Saturday, November 1, 2:51 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is in line for a high-volume receiving day, poised to exploit a favorable Week 9 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers defense. Robinson, currently the WR23 with 10.08 fantasy points per game, is leading the Giants in targets (57) and operating with an 82.6% snap share, solidifying his role as the top receiving option following injuries. The 49ers defense, while strong against scoring (8th in points against), is the 21st-ranked fantasy defense versus wide receivers, allowing a generous 33.81 fantasy points per game. Notably, San Francisco struggles to generate pressure (31st in sacks), which benefits quarterback Jaxson Dart and gives Robinson more time to separate. This high-target floor and plus matchup make Robinson a strong WR2 play with significant upside in this home contest.

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.
