Cedric Tillman

25-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Cleveland Browns
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tillman broke through in the middle of last season after the Browns traded Amari Cooper, recording three straight games in Weeks 7-9 with at least six catches, nine targets and 75 yards. A Week 10 bye broke his momentum, however, and he caught just five of 12 targets for 75 yards over the next two games before missing the rest of the year in concussion protocol. The 2023 third-round pick should have plenty of time to recover this offseason, and he's in good position for a top-three role after the Browns settled for Diontae Johnson as their "big" addition at wide receiver. The problem, apart from Cleveland's passing game potentially being terrible, is that Tillman has done so little in his career outside of the aforementioned three-game stretch. He drew targets on just 12.5 percent of his 352 routes as a rookie, catching less than half of those passes, and his per-route numbers were poor last season (17.9 percent target rate, 1.24 YPRR) despite the brief outburst while catching passes from Jameis Winston. Playing time won't necessarily lead to production, and Tillman's best chance at fantasy relevance likely involves Joe Flacco playing QB for Cleveland. Read Past Outlooks

September 7, 2025
Tillman caught five of eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bengals in Week 1.
ANALYSIS
Tillman snagged a five-yard pass on a crossing route in the back of the end zone for Cleveland's lone touchdown. He also had one of three fourth-quarter drops by Browns receivers. His drop with 1:24 remaining was the dagger, as it bounded off his hands and into the arms of the Bengals' DJ Turner. Despite the drop, a lot went right in Week 1 for Tillman, who saw good target volume and had a 25-yard reception. After flashing in the middle of the 2024 season, a concussion ended his year after Week 12 and left his status for 2025 up in the air. Tillman enters the season as the No. 2 wideout opposite Jerry Jeudy, and nothing that transpired Sunday will change that.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Tillman had a slow start to his rookie season after being selected in the third round of the draft. In the receiver’s first seven games, he had three catches for 10 yards. Beginning in Week 12, Tillman became more involved in the offense. During that time, he had a trio of games with at least 43 yards. Even though there weren’t signs of dominance, Tillman likely showed enough to see an expanded role in 2024. However, expect Amari Cooper, David Njoku and Jerry Jeudy to be the top pass catchers for the Browns. As a result, Tillman’s production may be limited.
The Browns stood pat in the third round of April's draft and selected Tillman despite more pressing needs on the defensive line. Though the team had made moves to bolster the wideout corps earlier in the offseason, the Browns decided they couldn't pass on the 6-3, 215-pounder, who the club believes could be a red-zone threat for QB Deshaun Watson. Tillman had 12 TDs in 2021 before an ankle injury limited his availability in 2022. He'll need to earn his snaps among a crowded position group and is expected to start down the depth chart. As a result, the Tennessee product's rookie season may not provide much fantasy value, but Tillman could move into a starting role by 2024, if the Browns allow Donovan Peoples-Jones to walk.

Penciled in as starter
WRCleveland Browns
June 26, 2025
Tillman is expected to be a full-time starter in 2025, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Browns didn't make any notable additions at wide receiver in the offseason other than signing Diontae Johnson to a one-year contract, suggesting that Cleveland has Tillman penciled in as a starter next to Jerry Jeudy. Prior to suffering a concussion in Week 12, Tillman was enjoying a breakout sophomore season in 2024, having posted 302 yards and three touchdowns in his last four full games played.
