Tillman was more involved in the Browns offense as the season progressed. He had multiple receptions six of his last seven games after not reaching that mark once before Week 12. Tillman failed to reach double-digit fantasy points in any game. He had 21 receptions for 224 yards. Tillman will look to move up the depth chart and play a bigger role in year two, but is likely stuck in a similar reserve role. Tillman uses his size well to make the contested catch. Tillman also has a big catch radius because of his size. Tillman does lack a little top-end speed and can struggle to separate a little. He averaged just 10.7 yards per reception last year.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Tillman has a lot to compete with for targets. He is not fit for a roster spot unless injury hits. He might get around 20 receptions for 200 yards and a score.
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman had an unremarkable rookie season, catching 21-of-44 targets for 224 yards and zero touchdowns. But early reports out of camp that he has overtaken Elijah Moore as the starting No. 3 receiver inspires hope. We barely saw what a healthy Deshaun Watson can do with this offense and the passing group may have to lead the way depending on Nick Chubb's recovery from a torn ACL. It's worth noting that the 6-foot-3 Tillman had a 56.2 PFF grade for run blocking while Moore had a poor 42.3 mark. And Moore had 104 targets over 17 games, some of which will slide to Tillman while Jerry Jeudy takes the No. 2 role. Drafters should learn early on whether Tillman is a constant on the field or simply the first in a committee rotation alongside Jeudy and Amari Cooper. With a low ADP of WR120 in half-PPR drafts and a WR103 ranking on RotoBaller, Tillman is worth a late dart if you need early depth.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman had a quiet rookie campaign after being selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Tennessee. He ran just 343 routes (74th) and hauled in 21 of his 44 targets for 244 yards and no touchdowns. However, Zac Jackson of the Athletic suggests he will get more opportunities in Year 2, despite the additions of Jerry Jeudy and rookie Jamari Thrash. "It's my belief that the Browns plan to open the season with Jeudy in the slot and [Amari] Cooper and Cedric Tillman out wide. Jeudy can play outside, too, and Elijah Moore will also see snaps inside and outside." Although Tillman could have limited upside if Deshaun Watson fails to bounce back to form from his time with the Houston Texans, this is an encouraging report for dynasty managers holding onto him. Tillman is usually available well into the late 200s in fantasy drafts, so he could be an underpriced sleeper candidate.

The Athletic's Zac Jackson writes that the Cleveland Browns believe wide receiver Cedric Tillman can make a second-year leap in 2024. Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore figure to start in most three-receiver sets this year, but Tillman should have an opportunity for a bigger role as the No. 4 as the season progresses. The 24-year-old third-round pick last year out of Tennessee caught 21 of his 44 targets for 224 yards and no touchdowns in 14 games (three starts) in 2023 in his rookie season. Behind Tillman, David Bell, rookie Jamari Thrash, James Proche II, Jaelon Darden and Michael Woods II will have to battle for playing time in training camp this summer. Tillman won't be worth drafting in standard-sized leagues this fall, but he could become intriguing as a waiver-wire pickup if one of the three starters goes down with injury at any point.
