Cedric Tillman Set to Miss Multiple Weeks After Hamstring Injury

Browns WR Cedric Tillman is set to miss weeks, according to HC Kevin Stefanski. Tillman injured his hamstring in the second quarter against the Lions. He was able to return briefly, but that was short-lived. He ultimately went to the locker room for the remainder of the game.

What They're Saying

Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN: “Browns WRs Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) will miss weeks, per Kevin Stefanski.”

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Through the first three weeks, Tillman racked up 10 catches on 18 targets for 100 yards and 2 TDs. The lack of Browns’ scoring made him an inconsistent fantasy option, but he had some flex appeal with good match-ups.

Tillman exited on Sunday after only one catch for 6 yards.

Rookie WR Isaiah Bond had been slowly gaining snap share, including in two-WR sets.

After Tillman exited the game, Bond played most of those snaps with WR Jamari Thrash also contributing.

Bond ended up playing 55% of the Browns' offensive snaps.

Tillman certainly will miss the Browns’ Week 5 game against the Vikings, taking place in London. They then take on the Steelers in Pittsburgh for Week 6.

Other Winners & Losers

The offense likely won’t support more fantasy-relevant WRs beyond Jerry Jeudy, but Bond could be a deep league stash.
