Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tillman suffered a concussion in Week 12 and it appears that he's still dealing with the symptoms. As a result, Tillman will miss his second straight game, but will hopefully be back in the mix next week. Both Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore will see increased fantasy value with Tillman out for at least one more game. Moore saw 14 targets last week as he hauled in eight of them for 111 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. Jeudy went for over 230 yards during that game, so both players should be fine options for Week 14.
According to Scott Petrak of the Chronicle-Telegram, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) is not practicing on Friday. This is not a good sign for availability heading into the weekend, as Tillman also did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the final injury report later on Friday, as it will likely clarify his status. Tillman sustained this concussion during Week 12's victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He could not play last week and is now in danger of missing his second-straight contest. If Tillman cannot suit up, fantasy managers should expect Jerry Jeudy and tight end David Njoku to lead the passing attack against a tough Pittsburgh secondary. Last weekend, Jeudy posted a career-best 235 receiving yards.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) missed another practice on Thursday and is trending toward missing a second straight game in Week 14 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Tillman suffered the concussion in the Week 12 upset win over the Steelers on Thursday night and was inactive for the Monday night loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 13. The 24-year-old still has two days to make progress through the league's concussion protocol, but the fact that he's still not practicing at all this late in the week isn't a good sign for his availability this weekend. With Tillman out on Monday against a good Denver defense, receivers Jerry Jeudy (over 200 yards) and Elijah Moore (over 100 yards) and tight end David Njoku (two touchdowns) all went off. An encore for the Browns offense will be tough against Pittsburgh, but all three will have more upside if Tillman is out again.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) remained sidelined for the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Tillman suffered a concussion in the Thursday night win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 and wasn't able to clear the league's concussion protocol in time to face the Denver Broncos on Monday night in Week 13. With a DNP to kick off Week 14 preparation, the 24-year-old could miss a second straight game this Sunday versus the Steelers. When healthy, the second-year pass-catcher has become intriguing as a WR4/flex in fantasy leagues now that quarterback Jameis Winston has given this offense a spark since the season-ending injury to Deshaun Watson (Achilles). In Monday night's loss to Denver, Jerry Jeudy had over 200 yards, Elijah Moore went over 100 yards, and tight end David Njoku scored twice with Tillman out.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Tillman exited last week's game with a concussion and is still experiencing symptoms this week. He hasn't been able to practice at all this week, which will result in him missing Monday's game. Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore should see an increased workload with Tillman unavailable. Fantasy managers might be able to count on Jeudy as a WR2 for this upcoming contest.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) remained sidelined during Friday's practice, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. The 24-year-old wideout suffered this concussion during their Week 12 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Seeing Tillman remain sidelined during practice does not put him in a good position to suit up on Monday evening. However, fantasy managers should continue to monitor him in case he turns the corner over the weekend. Since Jameis Winston took over starting duties, Tillman has averaged a solid 66.0 yards per game with 15.4 PPR points per game. If Tillman cannot play, fantasy managers should expect Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore, and David Njoku to lead the Cleveland passing attack on Monday evening.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) did not practice on Thursday ahead of Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Tillman suffered the concussion one week ago during Thursday Night Football, and he'd need to clear protocol within the next few days if he has any chance of playing on Monday in Denver. The 24-year-old has 24 catches, 302 yards, and three touchdowns over his last four games. If he suits up this week, he'd rank as a low-end WR3/FLEX option in fantasy football. Otherwise, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore would be on track to earn additional opportunities in the passing game.
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol but is improving. Tillman suffered a concussion in last Thursday night's upset win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. He has extra time to try and pass through the NFL's concussion protocol before the Monday night contest versus the Denver Broncos in Week 13, but Tillman should be considered iffy to play this week. The 24-year-old pass-catcher will eventually need clearance from an independent neurologist later this week to be allowed to play. With Amari Cooper no longer in town, Tillman has become a weekly flex option for fantasy managers. If he were to miss Monday's game in Denver, both Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore would become more intriguing, while Jaelon Darden would likely start in three-wide sets alongside them.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (head) entered concussion protocol after exiting Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Tillman was visibly woozy and disoriented after taking a hit late in the third quarter. The Browns initially listed Tillman as questionable, but as soon as he entered concussion protocol, he was deemed ineligible to return. He finished Week 12 with four catches, two targets, 28 yards, and a lost fumble. Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore remain the Browns' top two receivers but could see additional volume if Tillman doesn't clear protocol in time for Week 13.
Cedric Tillman Suffers Head Injury On Thursday Night
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (head) left the Thursday night game against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers and is being evaluated for a concussion. Tillman's return is questionable. The 24-year-old took a hard hit in the third quarter and headed into the locker room to be looked at. Before getting injured, he caught two of his four targets for 28 yards and lost a crucial fumble. If Tillman is unable to return for the rest of the game, it should mean more offensive snaps for Jaelon Darden as the No. 3 behind Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore. Tillman, like other Cleveland pass-catchers, has seen his fantasy stock rise ever since quarterback Jameis Winston took over the injured Deshaun Watson (Achilles), although this will be Tillman's second straight disappointing performance if he doesn't return. The Browns have another difficult matchup on tap in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos.
