Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Broncos. He didn't practice all week, which is surprising considering he's now nine days removed from his concussion. We'll see if he can get cleared for next weekend's game vs. the Steelers. Tillman's absence this week figures to leave Jamari Thrash as Cleveland's No. 3 WR. We could see more 2-TE sets with Jordan Akins on the field for the Browns. Ultimately, Tillman's absence just means added target upside for WR Jerry Jeudy, WR Elijah Moore, and TE David Njoku.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) remained sidelined on Friday. HC Kevin Stefanski said that he’s not yet ruling Tillman out for Monday night’s game vs. the Broncos, but he’s a long shot to be cleared in time for that one. Rookie WR Jamari Thrash was the primary replacement for Tillman last week but would be a desperation fantasy start. Tillman’s absence should mean more targets for WR Jerry Jeudy, WR Elijah Moore, and TE David Njoku.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. He'll need to get in at least a limited practice tomorrow to have a chance to play vs. the Broncos on Monday night. We'll update Tillman's status again on Friday afternoon, but fantasy owners should be making other plans for Week 13.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman exited for a concussion check at the end of the third quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Steelers. He stumbled after taking a big hit before heading into the blue medical tent and eventually back to the locker room. Tillman was deemed questionable to return but never did. He's likely in concussion protocol, but we'll look for confirmation. Tillman would at least have 11 days to get cleared for a Week 13 Monday nighter vs. the Broncos.
Update: HC Kevin Stefanski confirmed after the game that Tillman is in concussion protocol.
The forecast for tonight's Steelers-Browns game calls for temperatures just above freezing, 85% chance of precipitation, and winds of 15-20 mph with gusts of 25-30 mph. That's ugly. Expect an even run-heavier game plan from the Steelers than usual and for the Browns to run more than they typically do. And don't expect many points. This game has 36.5-point over/under. We'd avoid both QBs and kickers in the game and downgrade the WRs. See where all the Steelers and Browns sit in the updated Week 12 Rankings.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman managed just 3 receptions for 47 yards in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He did, at least, draw 8 targets to tie for third on the team with WR Elijah Moore. But Moore beat Tillman in receptions (6) and yards (66) and snagged one of the team's two TDs.
Browns HC Kevin Stefansk said Monday that QB Jameis Winston remains the team's starter "for the duration." That plan could change, of course, depending on Winston's play. But he'll at least start this weekend's game vs. the Saints.
Browns QB Jameis Winston will remain the team's starter going forward, HC Kevin Stefanski said Monday. Any other reaction to Winston's strong Week 8 showing wouldn't have made sense. Winston smoked the Ravens for 334 yards and three TDs in the upset win. Other than a lost fumble late in the first half and a bad throw late in the second that should have been picked off, Winston was excellent.
Making his first start since 2022, Browns QB Jameis Winston tallied 334 yards and 3 TDs against the Ravens. The former Buc completed 27 of 41 passes with only one turnover – a second-quarter sack/fumble.
The Browns plan to start QB Jameis Winston in Sunday's game against the Ravens, according to insider Jordan Schultz. "My understanding is Dorian Thompson-Robinson was [Deshaun] Watson’s backup on Sunday strictly from a gameplan standpoint," Schultz adds. That suggests that Cleveland is opting to go with Winston over Thompson-Robinson regardless of Thompson-Robinson's finger injury. That'd be good news for Cleveland's pass catchers going forward.
Browns WR Elijah Moore is in the concussion protocol, HC Kevin Stefanski said Sunday. Moore last practiced on Friday.
The Broncos are trading WR Jerry Jeudy to the Browns for fifth- and sixth-round picks in this year's draft, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's clearly a cost-cutting move for Denver, which avoids the nearly $13 million cap hit of the final season on Jeudy's contract. The move should allow second-year WR Marvin Mims to hit the starting lineup, though he'll have to compete with returning WR Tim Patrick. Jeudy arrives to a Cleveland corps that already sported WRs Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore. Right now we'd bet on Jeudy garnering more targets than Moore, who earned just 16.7% target share in his first year with the Browns. But it's certainly not an exciting landing spot for Jeudy's upside. That's magnified by QB Deshaun Watson's lackluster play in 2023 before his season-ending shoulder injury. Jeudy's fine to stack with Watson on best ball rosters at their respective prices: WR61 in Underdog Fantasy ADP for Jeudy; QB23 for Watson. Just don't expect either to be a championship winner. That said, Watson sports a nice crew of pass-catchers now, with the aforementioned wideouts and TE David Njoku. Cleveland second-year WR Cedric Tillman, meanwhile, looks blocked from relevance for at least one more year. He's not a must-hold in dynasty.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) is out for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Texans. The rookie has been a full-time player for Cleveland over the second half of the season and averaged 5.0 targets over the last seven games. His snaps will go to some combination of WRs David Bell, James Proche, and Marquise Goodwin. But Tillman's targets might just be soaked up by WR Amari Cooper and TE David Njoku.
